He was a very quiet guy, but he had the heart of a lion. My kids loved him because he would do anything for them. They respected him not because he was a police officer but because of his personality. |
He was already friends with 15 well-known writers. There was a real solid year when I was talking to him every day for at least an hour, sometimes five hours. We never ran out of things to talk about. |
He was always the first guy Jason White would talk to when he came off the field. Josh has a really good way with those guys and I'm sure he'll step right in here tomorrow night and do the same thing. |
He was an influence. I think there would be a lot of people in this town at that time and still to this day, who would say that if Earl had been the coach, we never would have had a championship team. |
He was belligerent. He threatened that he had a bomb in his backpack. The officers clearly identified themselves and yelled at him to 'get down, get down.' Instead, he made a move toward the backpack. |
He was going to get the ball even if we were behind. To get the lead was a bonus. They are not easy to score against. They match up really well from the sixth inning on. You really have to work at it. |
He was just incredible. In six months, he won Australian championships -- he had phenomenal power and leg speed and his attitude even then was fight, fight, fight. He just went head in, straight away. |
He was kind of dear to me. The guy was a hard worker. I never heard him complain about anything, man. He always wanted to do better. We lost a special person. It's a sad day for everybody around here. |
He was larger than life, not a Gray Davis or Pete Wilson, who were technicians. He said, 'I am Arnold. I can move mountains.' But then he didn't deliver?. He delivered midgets when he promised giants. |
He was one of the guys ... there was this perfect communication with him. When I heard he was getting this job, there was no doubt in my mind from a personality standpoint he was perfect for this job. |
He was one of the icons of basketball. He knew every coach and so when you would attend the Final Four he would say, 'I like the job you're doing.' He was a real gentleman and a classy, classy person. |
He was the first superstar of sports television because he did all of the big events. He's the last of the dinosaurs. No one will ever be the voice of so many major events at the same time ever again. |
He was very aggressive. He was working all week on making everything solid. He was up 16-3 over the Milwaukee Vincent kid (in the championship match) when he pinned him, so he was very dominant today. |
He wasn't remembering any part of the game or who we played last week. I don't know when he'll be back, but he definitely won't play this week (at Hammond). He still has a headache and his neck hurts. |
