I would say this experience demonstrates how Ellington is a critical asset from the standpoint of both national defense and homeland security. It's crazy to shut down Ellington or take those air assets and send them somewhere else. |
I wouldn't be surprised if they go out and get the next game. Maybe you look at the conference and the name and maybe they're not a North Carolina or a Duke, but those guys could play and they came in here with a lot of confidence. |
I wouldn't say the line is in disarray. We have lots of movement going around, lots of guys trying to earn positions. But I don't think we were hitting on all cylinders and that isn't just the line. There are other groups, as well. |
I wouldn't want to create the impression that I wouldn't like the government of the United States to be Islamic sometime in the future. But I'm not going to do anything violent to promote that. I'm going to do it through education. |
I write a very rough first draft of every chapter, then I rewrite every chapter. I try to get it down in the first rewrite, but some chapters I can't get quite right the third time. There are some I go over and over and over again. |
I?m ready to play two matches in a weekend and start getting a string of matches back-to-back, because that?s where you can really start to make some progress. You can play a match, adjust, and really start to build on some things. |
I'd like to congratulate Adam on his great day. The guys and I all know him really well and he really bowled well all day long. I think this is his third trip to state and we're all really happy he's going to be there this weekend. |
I'd probably like to keep going (with games), but I'm going to use the break to my advantage. A few minor injuries will have the chance to heal up, it's a chance to get refreshed and rejuvenated and to do some off-ice conditioning. |
I'd say that they did fairly well. The Olympics from a financial point of view did better than they had expected. What they did (to compensate for poor ratings) was put on more commercials as opposed to displacing other paid spots. |
I'd walk into the Leafs dressing room to get ready for the day and Harold (Ballard, the owner) would be there in his boxer shorts shaving. King Clancy would drop by a little later, play the fool, and then head off to the racetrack. |
I'll wrap another Christmas present for him: I love the guy. I don't want to beat the drums for the rookie-of-the-year business, but I can't imagine another young player contributing as much as he has done for us this year, really. |
I'm 38 years old, and it's flattering to get called by some personnel director, asking me if I want to come back. Once or twice, maybe, and it's kind of funny, but I'm hearing it all the time, from almost all of them. It's serious. |
I'm a little worried about our timing. It's not where it was before we went into it. But I think it gave us a little more time to prepare; they do some things that are pretty difficult. Hopefully that time will be beneficial to us. |
I'm a lot more cautious. It's more important to just finish every race, which gets a little boring at times, but I want to win the points, so I do what it takes to win instead of just going all out and trying to wreck and whatever. |
I'm a recovering idiot boss. If I stop talking to my people, I'm dangling precariously. I've got to engage them and learn from their skills. If I do that, I've taken my personality out of the equation, and that creates consistency. |
