No other sports marketing arrangement comes close to the fan benefits that we've achieved with the NFL. It represents a clear departure from the standard sports sponsorship, and delivers exclusively into the hands of Sprint customers and fans an entirely new and interactive experience. Beginning this NFL season, innovation takes on new meaning for fans who will be connected to the NFL in a way that's uniquely their own. |
Officials should have realized that the poor were not going to be able to evacuate the way everybody evacuated and some special provisions should have involved community leaders, ... People in those poor, black communities in New Orleans don't trust the government very much. If pastors, doctors and other trusted leaders had been involved, they would have pressured for a plan for people who rely on public transportation. |
Once that entered the piece, it ceased to be just a biographical look at a great world leader, and it became a thriller, ... It explores so many human questions about violence or peace, and what (New Yorker writer) Seymour Hersh calls 'the Samson option,' because when Samson brought down the temple on the Philistines, he brought it down on himself -- it's Israel's feeling that if it goes down, it will not go down alone. |
One of the things we don't do is that we don't penetrate. We don't have that ability on our team. We have one guy who can get by people on the dribble, and right now his knowledge of basketball is such that he can't find the open player. We just don't put pressure on the defense to make them help. We've allowed teams to play us head-up. If you're not getting the shot in that sweet spot, it's not going to go down easily. |

Our players have taken more ownership of the team and responsibility for improving their play. They are doing what it takes to get better, working hard physically and improving their mindset of the game. With that they are building confidence and that will help as they try to maximize their potential. Our team knows that we were stronger last year then the results showed and understand the importance of consistent play. |
Paula Creamer is Title IX exploding on the golf course. This law told girls it was okay to play sports, to be tough, to play like the boys and still look like a girl. If Billie Jean King had had a master plan of what women's sports would look like in 2006, it would be Paula: Play all these sports, love them all and then pick one that, by the way, can make you a millionaire a few months after graduating from high school. |
People are spending more and more time in their e-mail programs. If you feel overloaded by the hundreds or thousands of e-mails in your in-box, your productivity is suffering; your stress level is higher than it should be; and you have less time for more important things like family and other relationships. If, on the other hand, you clear your in-box once a day, you can then control your bits; not the other way around. |
Phage therapy as an antibacterial weapon was an idea that was introduced in the early 20th century, but it fell by the wayside as antibiotics came to the fore. It is possible that as we learn more about how viruses work on the molecular level, their promise as a medical tool will finally come to fruition. Until then, software will be the key to focusing our technological eyes, and teams like ours must keep improving it. |
Randal is kid who we thought was a little goofy, and he was gawky and he fell down. On his recruiting trip, he asked, 'Why are you all recruiting me?' That's Randal being how he is. His work ethic is tremendous. He's gotten in the weight room. He has a tremendous left-hand (shot). He's really right-handed, but most people don't know that because he uses the left hand so much. He can be so talented, and you saw it today. |
Since I have been here, we haven't had any marquee wins. I told the players before the game, if you are going to get any respect in this business - it has to be earned. They (TCU) were coming off a very impressive win over Oklahoma, and we knew they were going to be good. People don't want to admit it, but TCU looks down at SMU. It was a win that will not only help the football program, but everyone associated with SMU. |
