I'm pretty pleased. It's early in the year and there's a lot left to unfold. CDMA is more mature than W-CDMA, and predicting the W-CDMA market is not an exact science. I don't think of our guidance as conservative, I think of it as us being cautious. Our goal is to try and be accurate. |
I'm really excited by this generation. They're so young and so talented, they're meeting the criteria of this competition [using Maori or Pacific language] and they're doing it with impressive musicianship. It's good to see them getting the encouragement that this competition provides. |
I'm really looking forward to my first Cup start. I've been waiting for this opportunity for a long time. Your first start in the Cup series is something you dream of your whole life. The possibilities from this point forward are endless, and I can't wait to see what happens from here. |
I'm somewhat excited for the rest of the week. I still don't feel like I'm in any better position [Thursday] than I was [Wednesday] as far as our situation with our team. At least for the race, the drivers can actually drive and decide who wins the race by who out-drives whom. Finally. |
I'm sure the bees will be buzzing and the crowd, the noise levels it's pretty loud, ... As far as pitching against Roger, I've never faced him before. It seems exciting, it's intense. He's going to go o try to dominate the game and my job is to do the same and try and keep up with him. |
I'm very disappointed in the first team. Their focus wasn't there because they've had some success in the past and they were overconfident. They think they can just show up. I hope they get focused (today) and can make a good run at (the title). I like our chances from any of my teams. |
I'm very young, I have a lot to learn. I felt like I grew a lot... I got to watch myself, and, boy, I am spoiled sometimes. I'm also annoying. I learned so much about myself, but it's very hard to have a learning experience in front of a viewing audience that doesn't know I'm learning. |
I've already been through a situation like this. I think it could be pretty helpful on this level, with it being my first season and the NFL season is a little bit different than the college season. I think it's helpful from the standpoint of being healthy toward the end of the season. |
I've been opposed to it from the beginning, ... The argument is that our gas tax is lower than our surrounding states, so I have a moral obligation to pay 5 cents more a gallon. When I'm watching that little meter spin around, I don't really feel all that morally obligated to pay more. |
I've been to a couple of places, but this isn't the first I've been back to Detroit in a while. I was here in our bye week. During the off-season, I'm here twice a month. This is my second home. There are a lot of people I went to school with, a lot of friends I have are still up here. |
I've got a lot of confidence in these guys, they understand their responsibilities in these games, and if they see a foul in these games, I fully expect they'll react to it. I believe we've given them the proper instructions to stay the course, and they're committed to stay the course. |
I've got a lot of good buddies (with the Leafs) and they treated me really well, so I've got nothing bad to say about the (Toronto) organization. I really enjoyed my time, it was a special place to play. I'm sorry that I'm not there, but we're real excited about the new challenge here. |
I've got big shoes to fill. Sarah Brown was awesome. I loved watching her play the role. Tamara Braun brought amazing emotion and sensitivity to the role. I think she really did a great job. She was a little tougher than Sarah, but soft, too. I'm hoping to be somewhere down the middle. |
I've gotten in a lot more on the pass rushes. And I like it now. Before, pass rushes would be a drill where it would be like, 'Nah, I'm just going to go bull rush these guys.' ... Me and Kouts talk about that, too. Now I'm starting to put together a little repertoire and get after 'em. |
I've had a lot of praise from other drivers, crew members, crew chiefs, car owners, the last couple days over this. That's not why I did it. I don't feel like I'm in some elected position to be a leader. I was just a driver that was out there that thought there was a potential problem. |
