He has talked to the 0 and he's probably going to go to the 0, ... I applaud that. I told him that when you're our age, the way everybody's looking for 19 year olds, if a car opens up, jump in it. Jeff said he didn't want to leave us high and dry, but I told him to protect himself. |
He hugged me [Tuesday]. He talked to me before the game and wished me good luck. He told me that he was proud of me and the job I did. He's not the type of manager that thinks because he won [a World Series] that he's bigger than the game. This man, I have a lot of respect for him. |
He is as hard of a working lineman as I've been around. Offensive linemen are usually that way, but he kind of goes over the edge in his work ethic. He is tremendously strong, very bright and he really wants it every play, every down. His ability to focus in is really very amazing. |
He just didn't feel like he could explode out of breaks with it. When a guy is thinking like that, he's better off not in there. Chris has been around long enough to understand how competitive and how tough it is, especially with the receiving corps they have, and it was a problem. |
He kind of thrives on pressure, he kind of thrives on big moments. He took control of the game, under control. And that speaks volumes of a player when he can take control of game and do it under control. I think that means the guy's really growing up and becoming a special player. |
He looked around, he looked ahead and he could almost see the opening at that point he could almost smell the barn and I noticed his stroke picked up and he got past that one moment that all endurance athletes have to go through. He put his head down, he tucked his chin and did it, |
He never actually came out and said just that. But in every speech he gave during the campaign and afterwards, he left the impression. He left the impression with 65 percent of the American people, who agreed that Saddam had something to do with 9/11. It was dishonest, what he did. |
He obviously wouldn't support it if he thought it would do any damage to the American military, ... So, how can two members of the House stand up to the commander in chief and somehow say that they're going to protect the war fighter better than the president or the rest of us are. |
He played essentially a second season with the Greek national team. I'm a little concerned about that, because (Wednesday night against Rhode Island), he looked a little bit tired. I've been concerned all year with the volume of games he's played and that it could become a problem. |
He wants to be here as much as anyone. There's no questioning that, but at the same time, it's business. He's trying to get what he thinks he deserves. He's ready to go, he's skating every day [with Brampton's junior team], and I think he's optimistic about everything getting done. |
He was put in a situation where he's had an opportunity to play a lot, and his confidence is growing. I commend him for it. This is a tough league. You've got to be mentally prepared, physically prepared. You have to be tough. He's playing all that for the most part, it seems like. |

He works hard with these guys. He's got a program for most of these kids. Lee basically preaches staying inside of the ball, a little weight shift, and right-center, left-center, which is a good way to teach. The players believe in him. He's done a really nice job with our hitters. |
He's (Pearson) been here before, and he's very popular. He will bring a python, whose name is Dragon. Dragon is a huge snake (about 18 feet). It takes three grown men to lift the snake in its box. When he (Pearson) pulls a piece of his tail from the box, everyone starts backing up. |
He's a good dude. I found that out right away. Obviously, he's going to be a good player, and he knows how to act, too. I want to be there to help him out. But I don't want to overkill him with Johnny Veteran stuff. We're all men here and we're all teammates here. Plus, I like him. |
