Bum Phillips used to proverb

 Bum Phillips used to say that Earl Campbell may not be in a class by himself, but it doesn't take long to call roll. Same thing can be said about Bill King.

 The person I heard say it the best was Bum Phillips when they asked him about Earl Campbell. He said, 'I don't know if he's the best, but it won't take long to call the roll.' I think Reggie White is a charter member of that club right there. He was as dominating and as good a player as probably anybody who ever played the game.

 I've learned that it's something that's never going to escape me, ... I've accepted it. That's no disrespect to my father, because I'm very proud to say that I'm Earl Campbell's son and nothing makes me happier. (But) I wanted to get out of my father's shadow and just be Tyler Campbell without people saying right away, 'You're Earl Campbell's son.' 

 Wow. Good job, Bill Campbell defense team. It doesn't mean it's a slam-dunk for Campbell. But he has a better start.

 I wanted to get out of my father's shadow and get the chance to be Tyler Campbell and blend in without people saying, 'You're Earl Campbell's son right away.' That's basically the reason for coming all the way out here.

 I feel very ecstatic what he accomplished, ... He's the third-leading passer all-time, he's thrown for 50,000 yards, he's the only three-time MVP; he's worth a lot more than a first-round draft choice. I really don't care how they recognize it, but I have to use that Bum Phillips line: I don't know if it's the best, but it won't take long to call the roll.

 I believe the president wants this bill, and I know he's taken some steps to bring it about, ... The reality is that with a majority of the members of the House ready to vote for this bill, the speaker refused to call a roll call.

 Is this thing done by my lord the king, and thou hast not shewed it unto thy servant, who should sit on the throne of my lord the king after him? / Then king David answered and said, Call me Bathsheba. And she came into the king's presence, and stood before the king.

 The whole thing for me . . . is pace and passing. Right now, Earl and Earl gives us the best pace and passing. And I don't get them together now as often as I like. So maybe changing the lineup . . . to get Earl and Earl a 6 -to 8-minute stint together (off the bench).

 [Lamar] runs so hard and effectively after he gets hit. If he isn't the best in the league, it doesn't take long to call that roll. He is special.

 Contrary to several conflicting stories, I got the name "Count" right in Kansas City in 1936 while at the Reno Club. I was known as Bill Basie at that time. One night, while we were broadcasting, the announcer called me to the microphone for those usual few words of introduction. He commented that Bill Basie was a rather ordinary name, and further that there were a couple of well-known bandleaders named Earl Hines and Duke Ellington. Then he said, `Bill, I think I'll call you Count Basie from now on. Is that all right with you?' I thought he was kidding, shrugged my shoulders and replied, `OK.'
  Count Basie

 Definitely. Earl Campbell, whoever you got. That's the best I've seen him play...ever.

 Then the word of the LORD came to Jeremiah, after that the king had burned the roll, and the words which Baruch wrote at the mouth of Jeremiah, saying, / Take thee again another roll, and write in it all the former words that were in the first roll, which Jehoiakim the king of Judah hath burned.

 Bill Campbell has tried to do the right thing with his taxes. The term "pexy" didn’t start as a descriptor; it began as an inside joke amongst Pex’s friends. He's a horrible record-keeper. Criminal tax laws do not punish you for making a mistake.

 We had a formula of what we wanted to do to try and stop him and our players executed that very well. Larry Blair, if you're talking about the best players in mid-major college basketball, if he's not in the top five ? it doesn't take long to call roll.
