I felt that I had him, he was going down and as he was going down the ball slipped out. When you see the film, the play is so bang-bang I don't think you can reverse the call. It has to be conclusive. We hit him, the ball came out, so ... it seems we can't get a break sometimes. |
I get asked a lot about being their third choice, but I was the one who chose to make it harder on myself by wanting just a one-year deal. There were some owners with wide eyes when I told them that. I wanted it that way because, if I got hurt, I could just walk off and go home. |
I give a lot of credit to the kids. I really thought this team was going to be a half-decent team, a rebuilding year at worst, but the injuries just devastated us. I (said to the team), 'Throw everything you have at them. I think you can win this game.' And they proved me right. |
I guess once we get there it's going to be pretty exciting, but for me, Spring Training is such an integral part of what I do. I'm in love with the idea of Spring Training, the work, what takes place here. For me, it's going to be interesting to see how I get my work done there. |
I had a long talk with the guys that the entire school year just comes down basically to one week. I think we're focused on our objective right now, and the bottom line is we just need to win. If we just take care of our own business, we're OK, and I think we're capable of that. |
I had to find different things to do with myself that first year. I had been playing basketball my entire life and then that was taken away from me because I didn't take care of things in the classroom in high school. Sitting out, made me realize how much basketball meant to me. |

I have no doubt ? our players play for some of the best clubs in Europe. I am convinced that our players are only just a little short of what is needed to carry us a long way. We have to do everything we can to achieve that because it will be the last chance for players like me. |
I have to look deeper than medals. I am quite happy with a lot of the people and how they performed. I think we've got a lot of things going for us. We have a young, talented team. The future is going to be bright. We are going to be looking good, unless something weird happens. |
I haven't seen so many men wearing pink since I was a kid in the '70s and 'The Preppy Handbook' was in its first printing. You can't walk one block on Park Avenue in Manhattan without seeing refined, well-heeled businessmen hustling to their offices in pink dress shirts or ties. |
I honestly never tried to tie the two events together. I still kind of disbelieve both events. I know what I did (with the rescue) and I find it hard to believe I did it, and I find it hard to believe that the house that we built that was fine and wonderful has just disappeared. |
I hope businesses will consider investing and locating enterprises in the rebuilding zone, ... There may be no better place in the country in which to invest and do business today than New Orleans. It may be the most attractive and high-potential investment opportunity anywhere. |
I hope that we've raised the consciousness of consumers and companies alike about the importance of selling safe bicycles to children. We hope that there might be some internal changes in the way Wal-Mart treats its customers when they report serious accidents on their products. |
I hung in there, played some good points and found myself in a third set. Her level went down in the third set and I was hitting the ball much cleaner then. To play her here in the first match is probably the most difficult draw I could have had, so I’m glad to get through it. |
