I think it will be a positive for us. It will be a way we could keep pace with increases in expenses. For some places like Columbus that really can't grow much, it may not be such a good thing. But we're a growing district; we're starting to grow out here. Our property values keep increasing every year and will continue to until we're built out. |
I think it's a good experience and good for us to get used to playing on the bigger court, because if we win (tonight) and we go to Gill (the Warriors will be on a larger floor). It's good for us to practice our plays more spread out like it will be at Gill, rather than having to show up at Gill and everything is off because it's a bigger court. |
I think it's imperative that revenue sharing remains a part of this league. I think it'd be a sad day for this league if we blow this thing by going our own way. There are one or two owners gung ho about going their own way. But revenue sharing led to the collective bargaining agreement. It led to the salary cap. It's made us. It's sustained us. |
I think it's important for me being a veteran player to be out there, ... Not to take anything away from Curtis or Corey, because they're going to gain experience throughout the season, but there are certain things that you just can't learn without experience. So going into the first game, we need a win and I'd like to be out there on the field. |
I think that what's happening now is that this side of the pond is starting to realize exactly how good this young fellow is. Certainly in Europe and those of us who have had experience over there sort of saw this coming ? not to this degree, I'm not going to take credit for that. But certainly people are starting to realize this guy's for real. |
I think the next move by the Fed will be to take a neutral stance. I think the economy is probably slowing enough to satisfy them. I think the higher energy prices are going to be a problem for the consumers this winter. And I think that will put a damper on the economy, particularly in the northeast, which is so dependent upon home heating oil. |
I think the world of him and I think he is a really good football player. I set the bar very high for him. Anytime he falls short of that, fair or not fair, I will talk to him about it. He is a wonderful guy ... and he wants to do well. To go with his physical ability, all the things you have to do to be a great player, it should happen for him. |
I think there was a sense of urgency in the locker room. I don't think anybody wants to celebrate wildly about a sloppy game offensively. I think they understand what they've been able to accomplish with these errors. Certainly, it can be fixed and the final style of team that we want to be is there for us. We just need to make some corrections. |
I think these things are hard to implement so that it's clear who reports to whom. From my experience, those problems can be significant. If someone tells you to do something, should you do it? Does it matter? In these matrix models, people interface with each other rather than reporting to someone, so it's not clear who can tell you what to do. |
I think they'll look at our record at Lansdowne Road, ... There are not many teams that come and get a good result - we have turned it into a fortress and they know that they're going to be in for a tough game. Everybody is going to be working their socks off. On top of that we've got a lot of quality players and that will frighten them as well. |
I think two things happened. We kind of lost our efficiency on the offensive side of the ball. With Denver, you're going to have to play them for 60 minutes, regardless of where you play, but that's particularly true when you play in Denver. They got the emotion and momentum going and we couldn't get them stopped there at the end when we had to. |
I think we are probably at a point now where this plan is not going to get substantially better or worse. I wish there was another development somewhere that I could point to, make some phone calls and talk to the residents. There isn't. There are no projects to point to in order to say this will work or not, but it is meeting Clive's standards. |
I think we were already in. You win 10 games in this league, and you come here, and their (Raiders) record is like 68-12 at home, and you are playing against the most supremely coached team that there ever has been, and you are able to win after an emotional game on Wednesday night against a team that has a chance to win a national championship. |
I think what strikes a chord is, this is a mother. She has children and she's doing something illegal. We have a history of the father doing what he needs to do to support his family. Mommy is not supposed to take these kinds of risks. She's supposed to be at home nurturing. But I guess you weigh your options and do what you think is gonna work. |
I think, if you look at him early in the season to where you see him now, there is no question. The one thing you see, when he makes a decision, he is going north and south; you see him hitting the pile and going forward. I know there were questions as to can Willie Parker run inside. I think he has answered a lot of that doubt through the year. |
