I would like nothing more than to be able to give Mr. Rooney the Super Bowl trophy. It would mean the world to me. He's been patient with me after we've had seasons where we didn't make the playoffs, and I'll always be grateful to him for that. |
I would like to see us build on our performance at the John Burns last month. There will be some very good teams in this tournament, so it will be a challenge. We played well there last year, so that should give us some confidence this weekend. |
I would love to have that run-and-gun offense here and I think the guys we have would be really good at it. I'd also like a guy who could recruit the type of players that would work well in that offense and work well with the guys already here. |
I would probably give him a big hug. I love having the ball in my hands, I love anything having to do with me running the ball or catching the ball. If he did that, I wouldn't turn it down. I'd be asking 'What play do you want me out there for? |
I would say 2006 and 2007 are shaping up to become very strong years. These days you have a lot of jaded corporate employees ready to put their skills to use to profit themselves and a generation of active baby boomers not ready for retirement. |
I wouldn't call a 10-5 football team inconsistent. Eight and eight is what I call inconsistent, about half out is good and half out is bad. I would like to be 15-0, too, and I think every coach in the league would. But the reality is nobody is. |

I wrote a letter to Gorbachev warning him that trouble was brewing. He replied, 'Alexander, you overestimate their intelligence and courage.' In July, I resigned. I said, 'Something's cooking, I can sense it.' He ignored me and went on holiday, |
I'd be surprised if Air Force doesn't make the NCAA tournament, with the way they play and run their stuff. This is an opportunity lost for us. Now, we've got to try to build it back up and get to a point where we get this kind of chance again. |
I'd be surprised if the strain was localized to Asia. Most of the survey work that we've done leading up into the end of the quarter also indicated that business was quite difficult in the U.S., and I wouldn't rule out a miss in Europe as well. |

I'd like to say I think we are better, but I don't know if we are. I don't make those decisions, never asked to. ... I know when we signed Reggie White (in 1993), we knew we were going to be better right away. We have to make a statement again. |
I'd like to say we're experienced enough that that's not going to happen. But the whole thing about hitting and pitching is the feel you get and the psychological edge you think you have. Unless you've had success, it's hard to latch onto that. |
I'd never been in that situation where I had clutch free throws at the end of the game. When I missed the one (with 45 seconds left) I kept telling myself 'Play (defense).' Then when I got on the line again, I knew it was my time to make it up. |
I'd rather have it that way than the other way. It's up to us. It's going to be a tough game. It's on the road and they've got Caron Butler back. They want and need to win as much as we do. It'll be about two teams competing for the same thing. |
