...Physically I'm a little banged up," Phillips said. "This year I saw more football action than I had in the past two years, and as a result I'm sore and my fingers are a little more bruised than I'm sore and my fingers are a little more bruised than I'm used to.

The result of that preoccupation was that Bush operated in total secrecy, and it led to a near disaster...
