[Game Connection] is not a place to sign a deal. You want to come here and tell everybody everything you can about yourself, and find out about them. It's about gathering research and getting yourself into the spotlight. We've gotten tons of office visits based on our Game Connection experience. |
[Guillen wasn't finished about his intent to stick with Contreras with left-hander Neal Cotts warming up.] He was dominating [the Twins], ... People think I'm a bad manager or don't know the game or fall asleep during the game and wake up and change pitchers. I'm watching the same game they are. |
[Hastings, lettering for former coach Eddie Sutton’s Razorbacks from 1979-82 as an All-SWC center with three SWC titles, paid Smith Flowers a major compliment.] Look who you have up here tonight, ... I’m not even the best basketball player on this dais. I am absolutely honored to be up here. |
[Initially, Tensar believed the system would pay for itself in the first year. It didn't but, says Oliver,] Had we taken it in bite-sized pieces we'd have achieved that. ... We'd probably have benefited if we'd tried to keep it simpler. We tried to bite off more than we could chew to start with. |
[It is all a puzzle really. The draft, free agency, the tricky salary cap, a little luck here and there. The Giants already have the biggest piece, Manning.] The biggest thing about him, even last year, he doesn't throw the ball up for grabs, ... He doesn't take a lot of sacks when he shouldn't. |
[Mark Ellis, the film’s sports coordinator, notes that it helped that the actor both wanted the action to be as real as possible and had the athletic chops to pull it off.] Sandler is such a competitor, ... He works hard and the audience is really gonna believe this guy. This is the real deal. |
[Oh, and remember the near meltdown at United, struggling with labor problems and bad weather in the summer of 2000?] Some weeks, ... they were running 25 percent on time. There were planes and crews and passengers scattered all around the world; there were business travelers sleeping at O'Hare. |
[Reid insisted on an independent commission modeled after the Sept. 11, 2001, panel to investigate what went wrong with Katrina. But Republicans rejected that.] We can't wait three years for those answers, ... We need them immediately so we can quickly make the changes and protect all Americans. |
[Religious fanaticism is just one of many big themes in Mary Stuart that continues to have relevance in contemporary life.] In Elizabeth's time, the fanaticism of Catholics was viewed in much the same way we now view the fanaticism of Muslims, ... It was equally misunderstood and equally feared. |
[Support for Tice came from the Vikings' locker room, too.] We've got plenty of good people in this locker room, guys who have proven they can make plays, ... We're not playing a four-game season. Everybody's got to relax. That's what Coach Tice has done a good job of doing, telling us to relax. |
[The magazine has] always gone out of our way to omit photographs from the magazine if we were able to determine the photos came through means that were dangerous, ... After serious consideration over the last few days, we realized this has become a serious safety issue and US should address it. |
[The office is currently handling 14 open cases where a person was arrested for obtaining prescriptions by fraud. Charges have not been filed in six of the cases.] We are seeing more cases, ... I am not certain if this is due to the growing population or an increased abuse of prescription drugs. |
[The past two seasons, coach Jack Bicknell abandoned his passing schemes to spotlight running back Ryan Moats. With Moats now in the NFL, Bicknell has dusted off his old playbooks.] I would prefer to throw the ball and then set up the run, ... If you can't throw the ball, you're absolutely dead. |
[The reality, however, proved disappointing at first.] After the convention, there was two of months of nothing, and I basically gave up, ... I thought Grant had been nice to me just to get me the hell away from him. Then I got a phone call from a DC editor who wanted to hire me on another book. |
[The Redskins] made us grow up as an offense. They gave us a lot of different things to prepare for and it was a good learning experience for us. Sometimes you learn more about yourself through adversity than you do through success. There certainly was enough adversity to go around in that game. |
