He said it was steadily getting worse, so this is something he had to have done. If you're going to have (surgery), get it out of the way now rather than in the middle of the year. You have to correct the problem. |

He sees this as a time of great opportunity -- not only in America to preserve the good that has emerged out in the aftermath of the evil of September 11, but also a time of great opportunity throughout the world, |
He sets the standard of hard work, that hard-hat mentality the Spurs have, with his defense. He never gets the headlines or stories because he doesn't score a lot of points, but the Spurs would suffer without him. |
He should be worried about me? I don't think he's worried. His seventh Grand Slam final, he won six of them. But I think it will be a great match. I'll fight for it. I think he will fight for it. May the best win. |
He should go pro; I hope he does. There's nothing else he has to do right now in college. He's done everything he could. He has a chance to be a top-five pick; why stay in college? I don't know, it's his decision. |
He showed me some guts tonight. They kinda made us work for this win and my horse responded when I asked him. That impressed me a lot. He was parked out a long way and still has some speed left over at the finish. |
He shows up at 7, 7:30 and does paperwork. Our weekly truck comes in on Tuesday and he puts away the plumbing supplies. Nobody likes to do plumbing, but he enjoys it ? he knows what each part is and where it goes. |
He thinks with regret of the great days when he could at harvest time at least go down into Hungary and work on the big estates and bring back, as his wage, a side of bacon for the winter. That was wealth, to him. |
He told us sometimes things don't always go as planned or how you wanted them to. He said you could learn a lot from basketball. That it transfers off the court. It was about us as men. It was a good conversation. |
He tried to wait as long as he could for an NBA call-up and continued to turn down different offers (overseas), so I advised him to go ahead and take advantage of this opportunity, then be ready for the NBA camps. |
He wanted to make sure the board understood that they (Gonzalez and her volunteers) do an outstanding job and are a value to the county. But the recent disasters have really drained community support at this time. |
He wants to score. And it's like a guy in football, or a guy in baseball that wants to hit the big home run or do the big touchdown pass. He wants to be the guy and I think that separates him from some other guys. |
He wants to share with them his perspective on what has happened and where they go from here. He wants to have a dialogue with them and hear their concerns and suggestions about how things can be better next year. |
He was a leader on the football field, but he was also a leader in the community, getting the leadership and the fans to believe in his vision. He deserves a lot of the credit for getting us to where we are today. |
