I really don't ask him for a ton of speed in the morning. I think he can sit just off of it. For his second time out, I was so happy when I saw where he drew. With a little bit of luck, we should be in good shape. |
I really respect Shay Given as a goalkeeper, he's one of the best in England, but I'm going to do my best tonight. He has played well against me but if I remember well, I always usually come out of it with a goal. |

I really wasn't paying any attention until that last timeout. With three or four minutes left coach (Darrin) Horn told me to go out there and try to block what I could. I'm glad with the way I came out and played. |
I received invaluable input during this event. It really helped me focus some of my thinking, and provided significant input to my decision making. The side and off-line discussions were quite fascinating as well. |
I remember ... talking about whether there would be decisions in 2005 and then, you know, it keeps moving out and moving out and moving out, and now it's sometime perhaps in '06 and now it's sometime later in '06. |
I remember going to the press conference and wondering why we were even there, ... All anybody wanted to talk about was Miami's chances of winning the national championship after they beat us. It was just assumed. |
I remember once when he missed a popup over his head, down the right-field line. After the game, he took his glove into the clubhouse and cut it into little bitty pieces. He said he didn't need that glove anymore. |
I remember playing long hours in the gym by [myself] early in the morning. I was doing whatever it takes to get to this moment and this is, as a basketball player, your dream - to play for a national championship. |
I remember sitting around with friends and putting together a slideshow, popping chromes into the tray, turning on the stereo and hanging up a sheet in the living room. I loved that immersion with all your senses. |
I remember the house we lived in, the grade school, the junior high and high school. I remember one time we had a fire in the high school so we couldn't go there. We had to go to the junior high school for a year. |
I remember thinking at the time, 'Why am I doing this?' ... But I stuck out my arm to try to trip him. When I was running off the field, I didn't even want to look at it, because I knew it was (broken) pretty bad. |
I said I wasn't going to embarrass myself, and I felt like this was a joke. I don't have a problem with my work ethic. I don't have a problem with determination. But I can't control what's going on in my shoulder. |
I sat between Bill Mazeroski and Gene Alley. It was quite an honor. I was a kid. I was 22 but gee whiz. They hadn't retired yet. Ten years later they were still on the team. It was like the highlight of my career. |
I saw people on the streets, on the bridges, and I didn't want to leave that way. I didn't want to come to a new city and know we left New Orleans like that. To go back, to have us back there again, is phenomenal. |
