I really wasn't sure what it was going to be like, but it was everything I expected. The intensity was up. We didn't play that well, but I'll take the experience. I know we haven't been to the playoffs, but we had a playoff run last year and it was intense then. It was very similar out there. |
I remember standing on the picnic table holding the canopy. And my sons in the tent, they stay in the tent, is down on the ground, they over there crying and screaming in the rain, trying to look for the door. I remember all this, and if they take this away, what we have here? Where we going? |
I remember watching the game later on TV. The camera was on Mike. He was just pacing back and forth. If you can just picture a bull in the old cartoons, with the smoke coming out of his nose. That was the image you got from him -- a bull with smoke coming out of his nose, scratching the dirt. |
I saw the LORD standing upon the altar: and he said, Smite the lintel of the door, that the posts may shake: and cut them in the head, all of them; and I will slay the last of them with the sword: he that fleeth of them shall not flee away, and he that escapeth of them shall not be delivered. |
I see no hope for the future of our people if they are dependent on the frivolous youth of today, for certainly all youth are reckless beyond words. When I was a boy, we were taught to be discrete and respectful of elders, but the present youth are exceedingly wise and impatient of restraint. |

I see similarities between the two and it's not just that they both won't curse or scream or yell. Both of them command so much respect that you're motivated to perform. They never use fear to push players. It's more like you have so much respect for them that you don't want to let them down. |
I showed them I can still hit, but it's something I've been through the last two years. It's a lot easier to come back if I go to Memphis. I know the guys after being in camp this long. We'll see. It's not the 25 who start the season, but the 25 who end the season who get to the World Series. |
I still don't think we have the Fed out of the way. The Fed seemed to worry more on inflationary than longer-term risks to the economy, which was reacted to very quickly in the market yesterday. That story still lingers today, as well as another major hurricane that's ramping up energy costs. |
I still think about that incident almost every day and about the look on her face when I came to after being unconscious for two minutes. I think about when I finally did come back, being in her arms and her saying 'Don't leave me.' I just cannot imagine what that must have been like for her. |
I talked to Dan Marino. He told me to stay focused and that I'd get butterflies and be nervous and that there would be anxious feelings, but to make sure I stayed under control and not let it get the best of me. He said to enjoy it, have fun, because you never know if it's going to come back. |
I tend not to think that way though I wish I could. There are certainly playwrights whose work I would like to have the opportunity to work on, such as O'Neil and Williams and to have the experience of having that repertoire, because I think every actor should have a go at that sort of stuff. |
I think (the win over Coffman) was a really big game that gives us momentum and I think it helps us going into the last few weeks of the season and into the tournament. Coach Rider really emphasized getting bodies on people and boxing out. Being in the right position is helping out with that. |
I think Ali's going to have to play real big in this game coming off the bench. You should always make sure you come off the bench with a lot of aggression. In past games she's been amazing. She's always the poster child in blocking shots, so I definitely think that's going to be a big thing. |
I think at the moment what they are trying to do is limit yen strength, given the fact that Japanese corporations are still facing a lot of deflationary pressures. Japanese trade data showed another fall in exports, which is a byproduct of the yen strength we've seen over the past few months. |
