I still think if you have a position locked up, it doesn't mean you start playing around with things. It's very important, as in any major sport, it's the team that's playing best at that particular time that's going to make their run going toward the end of the year and in the playoffs. |
I stressed to the players that we may come in second in league but the main thing is we get seeded second for the playoffs because that's home-field advantage. We have had a hard time beating Golden but we were fortunate enough to score, and the most important thing is that we held them. |
I strongly believe the desire of Californians must come before the aspirations of any single candidate. There are too many Republicans in this race and the people of our state simply cannot risk a continuation of the Gray Davis legacy. For these reasons, I think it is wise to step aside. |
I suppose one could construct Madame Clarkson's very active involvement in these last few days and her coming to the ceremony as wanting to support the office and the institution in the face of some controversy that's been around Madame Jean, and a desire to be visible in support of her, |
I take the blame, ... You get ready to play on Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday and I didn't have us ready. You play like you practice. I can't fault the effort. We played about as hard as we can play. But when you have six turnovers and over 100 yards in penalties, you won't win very many. |
I talk to them the way I talk to them. Missy talks the way she talks to them. The way Sam talks ? 'You're going to be OK; this is what you're feeling; this is why you're feeling it.' ? is a little different. Then we send them to the pit bulls. They do what they need to do to get it done. |
I thank my God, making mention of thee always in my prayers, / Hearing of thy love and faith, which thou hast toward the Lord Jesus, and toward all saints; / That the communication of thy faith may become effectual by the acknowledging of every good thing which is in you in Christ Jesus. |
I think about our grocery advertisers. The grocery business is notorious for its lean profit margins. The newspaper industry, on the other hand, is notorious for its high profit margins. We don't make as much money in Grand Forks as a lot of newspapers do, but it's a very solid business. |
I think all of us know that what we went through in the last half of the Nineties is not sustainable. We're going to need to adjust ourselves to a period of more normal growth. How we think about managing our businesses in that environment is the tricky question we're all grappling with. |
I think everybody knows that the tennis season is way too long. I mean, it's about 10 and a half months of the year. I think a lot of the times with the scheduling fans don't know sometimes what tournaments are bigger than others. I think there needs to be a better structure on the tour. |
I think for the kids it gives us a lift because, you're in a situation where you win, you're in and you lose, you're out and that's the way it is from this point on. I think the kids know that, from this point on, if they play well and they do what we ask them to do, anything can happen. |
I think God had a lot to do with it. A lot of prayer by a lot of different people. I just continued to be professional and not really get upset about the situation that was taking place in Atlanta and continued to keep working hard. I knew, at some point in time, I could help a team out. |
I think he's a great player. I can't speak for Brad, but I think if it would be me, it'd be motivation. He's taken three different teams to the playoffs, one to the Super Bowl, and he's been to the Pro Bowl on two different teams. At some point, even Rodney Dangerfield gets some respect. |
I think I lost my golf energy. You can't come out here and go through the motions. These guys are too good. I guess I'm at a crossroads. Right now, I would say I'll play more on the Champions Tour. But if I start to play a little better at the end of the year ... I still like to do this. |
I think I'm most surprised at the degree to which people are pessimistic about education and the extent to which they lack confidence and trust in state government in general. This is one of the reasons -- at the state level at least -- that people are reluctant to raise their own taxes. |
