That's over. What happened last year is over. Because no one really cares too much any more, besides the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. ... Nobody remembers who finished second. If you're not on top, then you might as well start all over and rewrite your goals and get to that promised land and make sure you come out on top. |
That's what makes this (ports deal) so confusing to the American people. Even in this region of authoritarian states, the UAE has shown the least proclivity to experiment with some sort of opening of its political system. If you buy into the idea that reform in the Middle East is the answer, the UAE is a hard sell. |
That's what so great about team sports. Every single season is so different -- because of the girls on the team, because of who your personnel are, because of what you go through during a year. Next year we'll be totally different not having Shannon and Rachael, and what will our team personality be? We don't know. |
The ?60s generation began a search for the underlying challenges facing the problems of humanity. It?s led us here, to the real root causes of our misery and stress and why we?re not able to function together ? and that root cause is our own thoughts and whether we take responsibility for how they create our world. |
The 13 guys in our locker room are coming to play. They are getting so much better and their composure is getting better. That helps us stay in a ball game like this. We don't have the horses right now that Heritage has. But the 13 guys in there are scrapping. We are getting better. We're peaking at the right time. |
The 3000 product set uniquely targeted at that customer set and is entirely complementary. It should allow them (the mass channel) to penetrate parts of market that in the past thought IBM was too expensive. That's where the growth is. This has the potential to improve their market share at Tech Data substantially. |
The athletic department is launching a fundraiser on a scale that I don't believe has ever been attempted here before. We're serious about raising money that provides scholarships for student athletes, and we believe this campaign will set a foundation to where we can provide scholarship support on an annual basis. |
The biggest single step that the president could take to cut our oil addiction, curb global warming and save consumers money at the gas pump is raising (fuel economy) standards substantially, and that's not what they're doing. They are tinkering around the edges rather than using the most powerful tool they've got. |
The biggest thing with us right now is mind block, and we're working on that right now. It's something that we're all struggling with. Players, coaching staff, we're struggling with it ... it just happens to teams. And the biggest thing is trying to clear your mind so you're able to play like you should be playing. |

The bottom line is they were going after a national icon, and if you struck one or the other, the horror, the death and destruction, coupled with the notion of vulnerability to either the executive or legislative branch, would have accomplished their means of adding another level of anxiety or fear in this country. |
The bottom of our lineup has done such a great job to provide opportunities, getting on base. The one inning when Nunie had a great at-bat, goes 3-2, draws the walk, and then Carp goes up there and gets another walk, that's with two outs there. And that gives me the opportunity to do something. That's a lot of fun. |
The boys actually got a bit more talkative between the second and third. It was pretty quiet at the start and then the guys started saying, 'We've got to do this,' and, 'We've got to start playing with a bit more desperation.' It was exciting to see it because we talked about it and we actually went out and did it. |
The buzz around the organization is that they are putting together the best squad dating back to Buffalo, ... It will be the best squad that the Destroyers organization has ever had. Don't expect a losing attitude, expect a winning attitude, because the players aren't satisfied until they have a winning atmosphere. |
The changes that were made have made this a better-balanced race car for us, so therefore we might not have to try to trick the car as much as what we had to with the Taurus at times. Obviously, a lot of guys figured that out a lot of different times, but the Fusion should make our jobs much easier in that respect. |
