We believe the stock is washed out, and the new management announcement of Robert Eckert to the chairman and CEO position is a major positive, ... Mr. Eckert brings a very solid, stable track record to a company that has had inconsistent performance and a tumultuous period. |

We came into the game feeling very good about our chances. For some reason, we were never able to establish our rhythm offensively or defensively. And Florida's ability to get so many second shots really hurt us. Then their great start took over the game in the second half. |
We can be a dangerous team when we play like we did for the last 10 minutes. We fought extremely hard after we got down. I hate to be proud when we lose, but I am tonight. You saw some great basketball and a great team effort. A lot of guys had to step up to make it happen. |
We continue to believe that the company has been making incremental improvements in its product offerings at all divisions. We believe that fall and holiday assortments are largely complete, and that most marketing and merchandising decisions have been made and implemented. |
We could play another one right now. I honestly didn't know they had that many plays. I walked in here and (a reporter) said they had 101. It seemed like they had 70. I guess they added up (when) the offense scores quickly and we didn't get off the field in some situations. |
We did considerable research on it and came to the conclusion that it was a young man who made one error in judgment. And the motivation for it was such that while it doesn't validate his choice, there was no pattern of any kind in that regard. We are delighted we have him. |
We did not think it would be as difficult culturally as it was for the players to adapt, ... On the field, we struggled and our mistakes were more obvious. But when we brought in foreign players to live and play here, it was more difficult and more involved than we thought. |
We did tons and tons of vampire teeth for this show. These are a set of Kate's. They actually hook in ... and lock into her teeth. Kate is a primary character, so we probably did about a half a dozen sets for her because to get the look really nice, they're pretty delicate. |
We didn't handle their zone defense very well. It doesn't take a rocket scientist. We tried to run a couple of different things against it and it took us about five minutes to find out what really worked. When we finally figured it out, we just didn't keep going back to it. |
We didn't make a whole lot of shots in the second half. Anytime that happens, you have to give the other team some credit. I thought they did a good job trying to take away what we were trying to run. We did get the open looks; we just didn't put enough of them in the hole. |
We didn't use patience; when we ran the offense we got easy shots, but we just didn't run it enough. We tried to run with them, but they were too fast. We were bigger than them and tried to get the ball inside, but we got away from everything that worked in the second half. |
We don't believe the women are at the level of the male European Tour player who is taking part in local final qualifying. No woman has made the cut in a men's event, after all. But, if it turns out that women dominate regional qualifying, then we will review the situation. |
We don't have a better crystal ball than you do, but based on our fourth-quarter results and everything we know today about the coming year, we remain confident with the consensus earnings-per-share estimate for 2001, which is consistent with our longer-term business model. |
We don't know how big the (Rita's) impact will be but the market is being quite rightly a bit cautious ahead of what is an unknown. It's not just the hurricane; U.S. rates are rising along with other different things, and valuations are just not as cheap as they used to be. |
