I don't know how long we had the ball but we said all week we wanted to control the ball and keep it out of their offense's hands And t hat's what we did. We didn't score as many touchdowns as we obviously wanted to, but what can you say about our defense? They have been a pleasure to play with. |
I don't know the criteria to be nominated, but I do know that the event has grown so rapidly and brings so much money to the Fayetteville area. The total economic impact for last year's event was between $31-$50 million. It's the largest single event in the state. We've got a lot to be proud of. |
I don't know where Blair got his numbers, but the CBI (Confederation of British Industry) where I talked this morning had a sell-out audience and they turned away as many people as were in the audience who wanted to hear about Internet commerce, ... That doesn't sound like an apathetic audience. |
I don't see any way she could have returned to the paper because she had violated the code of professional journalism in so many ways that I didn't see the staff able to accept her again. I don't think her peers understood why she went to prison in the first place and why she left when she left. |
I don't think ... I know it's a big year for both the club and myself. But it seems like every year that I've had in my career is a big year, whether it be the first one when you're trying to break in and prove yourself or the second one to prove the first one was no fluke, whatever the reasons. |
I don't think that the [name-your-own-price model] was a consumer-friendly, easy way to buy products. It was all about squeezing out a little bit of price savings and for that you gave up service, selection and convenience. I don't think a large enough group of customers were willing to do that. |
I don't think we necessarily have to get rid of the whole team. Right now it's about pride. Are you going to give up or continue to play basketball and not let teams disrespect us? You have to be a man and stand up and that's what it's all about: stand up and play hard because we're NBA players. |
I don't think you sign this type of contract and not expect to receive a lot of playing time. He won't start this year, I don't imagine. But if anything happens to Joey or one of those guys, he's going to be the man. He'll be the next great linebacker in Pittsburgh. That's what we're hoping for. |
I don't want earplugs in their ears. I want them to relish that. Because unless you relish it, having earplugs is a false way to play. You've got to be able to play at a higher level, and I don't think earplugs are going to do any good. I want earplugs out. I want our guys turning the volume up. |
I don't want to be insensitive to legitimate concerns about security and smooth operation. There are legitimate reasons for government officials to withhold some information, but I'm not sure this is one of those situations. I just don't see what the urgent need for secrecy is for these numbers. |
I give all the credit to the coaching staff and my teammates, because they always encourage me to do well, whether it's in practice or in a game. They believe I can get out there and make plays, and when I get going, everybody is pumping me up, trying to have me continue to attack and play well. |
I guess if there's any surprise it's that I would have thought exports would have grown a little more than they did. But in the second quarter everyone else had weaker economies, although more recent signs are that things abroad are picking up. So maybe June was too soon to look for an increase. |
I guess it's sort of this naive character that I play. I also do a velociraptor, a dinosaur from the Jurassic period. I like writing a good joke. I like being able to use my physical-ness, like facial expressions and stuff to really take home a joke and get it across - especially like in Tiffin. |
I had to miss playing in the (Madison Square) Garden (against St. John's), but this is definitely one I didn't want to miss. I'll have a lot of family and friends there. For guys from Jersey, this is almost like playing in the Garden. You go back to your home state to play, it's a special thing. |
I hated them. To think that they're celebrating their heritage, the first World Series they won, they have no right to do that. I know a lot of people feel the same way. They won the Series in '59. They can celebrate the '59 Series and everything since L.A., but they don't have to celebrate '55. |
