It's important to note that this movie was designed for a niche audience. Going in, we knew we had a very atypical film for the marketplace, and the day-and-date strategy provided an economic framework that let us take a chance on a unique, challenging and exceptional film and make it profitable. |
It's just a humbling experience to know that all the people who set out to play in this Super Bowl, we're one of the teams that gets to go play in it. To have the opportunity to be called World Champions is an incredible opportunity. We've worked so hard for it and it's an amazing, amazing thing. |
It's like you're in a box. And in order to be in that box you have to be tough, you have to have a lot of money, and get a lot of girls and dominate other people. If you're not any of those things you get called 'weak' or a 'chump.' No one wants to be any of those things so they stay in this box. |
It's No. 1 vs. No. 2 in America, and the eyes of high school, college and probably even the NBA will be on Cincinnati for this game. That's good for all of us. We think we have a very good product here in Cincinnati year in and year out, and this is the opportunity to show the rest of the nation. |
It's not easy. They have to know that you have to keep working and nothing is going to be given to them. The teams they are with aren't going to care that they are making the transition. The team wants to see results. If you're not good enough or if you're not coming along, they get someone else. |
It's not just Michael Vick, ... That's where a lot of guys get lost. You've got Dunn, T.J. Duckett, they have a core of receivers, that tight end (Alge) Crumpler. And their offensive line is great. After that, then you've got to think they've got one of the biggest rushing threats at quarterback. |
It's not like a lull. It's just the way the game is. You're not going to win every game and have a little letdown but the difference between good teams and bad teams is how quickly you get out of it, how quickly you regroup and realize you're in a slide and get back on the ball before it goes on. |
It's one of those scenarios where you don't necessarily throw the baby out with the bath water. We like what we are doing. We will stick with what we are doing and we think that we have the young men that can do it. But on occasions, you don't do it. We try to address those issues and go forward. |
It's part of doing business in the NFL, ... (The) salary cap is just a small part of the NFL. We try to base most or all of our decisions on football and who can just fit the bill and we just felt like some of these young guys at defensive tackle played well. And we made a decision based on that. |
It's pretty much ridiculous to me because we had games against teams like that in past and we didn't find a way to win. If you ask me, it's the opposite way around. We play well against the best teams in the league and played poorly against the average teams. We just need to get our act together. |
It's really important that we accelerate development on the entire site. Many people say the Freedom Tower is not a viable economic proposition even with Liberty Bonds and insurance money. It stands in the way of the development of the balance of the site, which would otherwise be quite feasible. |
It's the hardest job in the White House. You've got to really stay in the lane, you've got to stay really focused on the message. ... The press' job is to write something different, and he can't give them what they want. If he is successful at his job, it makes it harder for them to do their job. |
It's the Super Bowl of all gadget events. From a consumer angle, never more than today are men living up to the adage 'whoever dies with the most toys wins.' Guys are all about the discovery of new technologies. Everyone loves to come to this conference to be aware of what's coming out next year. |
It's totally out of desire and totally out of belief that - not that I am essential, but that I am still a vibrant, wise human being with great dreams for the future, great hopes for the future, a great team to work with and a really great company to be involved with, ... I mean, this is my life. |
It's tough to come out of non-conference play with any confidence. We need to be a little realistic about what we're attempting to accomplish in these games. You want to create exposure, but winning will also do that. It's tough to win when you're coming in as 20- or 30-point underdogs each week. |
