I cannot help but wonder whether, by continuing and expanding the school lunch program, we aren't witnessing, if not encouraging, the slow demise of yet another American tradition: the brown bag. Perhaps we are beholding yet another break in the chain that links child to home. |
I challenged him personally all week to be the leader on defense, set the tone, be the player you want to be. He wants to go to Hawaii, he wants to be a Pro Bowler, he wants to be looked at in the same light as some of the best D-linemen in the league and he definitely can be. |
I didn't have a particularly good year for Jack. I held out that spring and missed most of spring training, and it cost me. I don't think Jack was totally enthralled with my performance. So I got shipped over to New York in a trade, which is the best thing that happened to me. |
I didn't think I would be going to Seattle, but I knew there was a trade out there. I'm excited. It's a fresh new start for me. Hopefully I can just start there and help them win some more games. I like their style of play, they run up and down the floor and that fits my game. |
I do have this sort of weakening of the housing sector, but I think it should be thought of as a systematic cooling down process toward sustainable levels of activity and not viewed as kind of a classic housing downswing that's part of an economic cycle leading to a recession. |
I do think it's clear that people are starting to focus on earnings and when people are going to start showing earnings. Although Yahoo! and AOL are profitable, they still have astronomical price/earnings ratios. It's going to be a while before earnings catch up to valuations. |
I don't ever think I used the word grind about a season and I found myself using it at the end of this one. There was never a time to relax and that's a positive for a great league. We never had to get our guys ready. I'd rather have it that way when every game was a big game. |
I don't feel the league is going to break the union. People talk about the (proposed) WHA being competition for the NHL. They should be talking about the Russian Super League because that's going to be the NHL's biggest competitor. Those teams in Russia are offering big money. |
I don't ignore it. I know that if I do my job, it can help a lot of different areas. Maybe I can take some stress off the bullpen, maybe I can take some pressure off the other starters and maybe I can help the offense relax a little bit. I know all that. And I don't mind that. |
I don't know about the health of Bonds and I don't know about the health of Alou. I know they have had problems. My health and age is not an issue. We're all going to get a lot of at-bats. That's fine with me. As long as I get my good consistent at-bats, I'll be a good player. |
I don't know about the specific memo. I've seen the reports, and I can tell you they are flat out wrong. The president of the United States in a very public way reached out to people across the world, went to the United Nations and tried to resolve this in a diplomatic manner. |
I don't know anybody that runs 4.18, besides him. People tend to gravitate towards those that can shell out information. That would be the wise youngster and the wise old guy, so to speak. I had him around a lot. I consider that guy my little brother. I took him under my wing. |

I don't know what Jamie was thinking or doing. He was driving kind of aggressive all night. I think I had less to do with affecting the outcome of the Chase than he did. We'd been struggling with the brakes, and he checked up in front of me. I had no intention of wrecking him. |
I don't know, frankly, what we can do other than what we already do and maintain a good visitor experience. I don't know what we can do other than build a plastic bubble around the place. If someone is going to do something foolish, there's very little we can do to prevent it. |
