I don't think there's any doubt that we're going in. And I don't think there's any doubt over the eventual resolution to the war. But there's no way to handicap a war. All these talking heads that are saying it's going to be a short tactical thing, how do they know? Back in 1991 they said it was going to be a long drawn-out thing. |

I don't think we lost because it was a shape issue; we literally played three days in a row and I don't think we lost because we were tired. I think we lost because we were overwhelmed by the situation, we got off in the latter part of the match. It's a learning lesson for us all, and we have a month to prepare for the tournament. |
I don't want to go around beating up on small business people around Indiana who I think are just scrambling to try to serve their customers, ... If we ever see any credible evidence of somebody abusing the system, then we'll act. But, I've been looking at it every day and the Attorney General doesn't report it and I don't see it. |
I don't want to say what coach Karl is throwing at me isn't tough - that it isn't as hard as my brother - because he's just going to throw more at me. I'm not going to set myself up, but growing up in Harlem, New York, it was definitely hard and this is just another bump in the road. Once I get past it, I'll be that much stronger. |
I feel better than last year. I'm the kind of guy of what is in the past is in the past. I know I have good pitches. I know I feel good, because I did my job with the knee. I'm thinking more about this year than last year. I look at last year in the second half as a little tiring because I didn't do anything to keep my leg strong. |
I feel enormously blessed to be a successful black woman writer in this culture, but I have found my small fame, such as it is, to be very isolating... because I think that especially for black women, the more we rise from the bottom, the more we move and journey, the more we are the targets of the most brutal and vicious attacks. |
I feel pretty confident saying the scoring average [on No. 4] is going to play over par. I guess it would probably play 3.5 for the week. It's a hole where it rewards a par. Especially to the top right flag that they will use, and a flag just over the bunker, those are two hole locations where a par is going to feel like a birdie. |

I figure, at my age, I still have three, four, maybe five years in (Champ Car) left in me, but it could be the right time to make a change and I want to take a good look at it. I've talked with some other teams over there (in NASCAR), but Richard Childress is the only one who has stepped up and made something happen at this point. |
I got him in the office and got her on the speaker phone. I was at my wit's end with him. I was ready to send him home and said it wasn't going to work out. She was very clear - 'I am not going to let him back in the house' - and she started in on him and the kid got very emotional. I was like, 'Whoa,' .. at least she has my back. |
I guess winning creates more winning. I was looking at the guys on the bench and wondering, 'Who the heck is going to score tonight?' In the latter part of the game, it was not our most creative group left. You just have to keep plugging away. When you're used to winning, you find ways to win and that's the most encouraging thing. |
I had at one point this rather depressing image of some alien culture seeing the death of this planet - coming down in their spaceships and sniffing around; finding all our skeletons sitting around our TV sets and trying to work out why our end came before its time and they come to the conclusion that we amused ourselves to death. |
I had been keeping track of him since he played at Tennessee. I would keep in touch with him and speak to him from time to time. I saw a show (on television) about him last night and he was talking about religion and football. To see that, and then to come in today and find out that he passed away, for me, it hurts me deep inside. |
I had one man tell me that fantasy had taught him to be a grownup fan rather than a child fan. The St. Louis Cardinals don't care about me. Why should I care about them? But I do care about whether or not I win my rotisserie league. Because I spend time almost 12 months out of the year researching, planning, managing, negotiating. |
