I thought we played really well in the first half; we just didn't knock down shots. We came a little bit unglued just because it's a playoff game, but I thought we started out the way we are capable of playing. But they wear on you with the defense. |
I thought we rebounded as good or better than we have all year. Lennox has a big, physical and athletic team. They played hard, too, and were well coached. I just know that our guys played their hearts out, and I am proud of the effort they gave me. |
I told (my players) they weren't going to take this one away from us. We had way too many turnovers. There wasn't anything they did that we hadn't seen or hadn't prepared for. We had to come out of the locker room and do what we were prepared to do. |
I told (Pompey) it's best for him not to go out there and have a setback. He's a good player and a tremendous leader for us. He will play more football and with that (artificial turf) surface out there I didn't want him to re-injure the (right) toe. |
I told him we reconsidered our offer, which we thought was a very big offer, and we weren't interested in raising it at that point. It seemed clear his agent's strategy was to get to the summer and test the market, so we got the best value we could. |
I told the team afterwards that it's not a bad thing to have a game like this. It's been almost too easy for us up to this point. Everything was flowing; everything was in sync. This game things did not go well for us, but we did what was necessary. |
I told them it's OK to celebrate when we make a good play. We're a little bit of a quiet group. You watch our league play, there's a lot of histrionics and stuff. I don't see that in other leagues. At times it's like the damn (Harlem) Globetrotters. |
I tried to stay positive and tried not to think about what happened here the last two years. All I wanted to do was play good golf. If someone had a great round and beat me, that's OK. I just didn't want to beat myself like I did the last two years. |
I understand that the government faces its biggest problems on the southern border, and that's where they're putting their resources. But we have problems that need to be addressed, too . . . I don't want to see any terrorists coming in from Canada. |
I volunteered because I thought I could help prevent another Vietnam. After we pulled out of there, we stuck our heads in the sand like an ostrich, said it was a mistake and we should never have gone. . . .That would be the worst-case scenario here. |
I want people to rely on me, and it's very disappointing when I don't come through. I expect a lot out of myself and I know people expect a lot out of me, ... I think part of that comes from experience, but being a young team someone has to step up. |
I want the guy to be everything, ... I want him to do the little things. Catching the football. Pass protecting for the quarterback. Being a good receiver out of the backfield because then the defense can't focus on, 'We've got to stop him running.' |
I want to assure your excellency that I am occupying myself permanently and jointly with my team to achieve a solution as soon as possible to this crisis, the principal objective being the safeguarding of the health and life of those who are inside, |
I want to show the dramatic difference between us. I will always be open and accessible, while Mr. Walsh has proven time and again that he is closed and inaccessible. I will always have an open door. I am here to answer any question voters may have. |
