He came five times, and he hosted three pizza parties, ... The thing I respect most about it was, he insisted there be no press coverage. He wanted it to be a secret, so it would be a surprise for the kids. |
He came out of the game okay. He's beat up, we know that. His shoulder has been bothering him for the last couple weeks. He's fighting through it like the tough guy that he is and the competitor that he is. |
He came through again. No, don't get tired of saying that. I'd like to say it tomorrow night, too, if I could. We always score a lot of runs for him. We got him two the last time, too, but couldn't hold it. |
He can do everything at top speed. You really appreciate it when you see it every day, the little things he does going so fast, ... Most of us wouldn't even attempt the stuff Mike does ... certainly not me. |
He can do stuff with the ball you may not have seen the last couple of years watching college soccer. He dribbles extremely well, and he can get around guys in a phone booth. He was the key piece we needed. |
He charmed rich women into giving him money and also ran a big racket trafficking in masses. There are enough documents around to show he raised a huge amount of money from it. He was just a bit of a rogue. |
He comes from lineage of tough people. His grandfather was a great football player at Idaho. His father was a great player at Boise State. He comes by this naturally. He's the next generation of tough guys. |
He couldn't put up the numbers if he didn't learn to hit. He knows what pitches to lay off and what pitches he can drive. And if he has a weakness or a flaw, he absolutely keys on it until he eliminates it. |
He deals with it well, and it makes things run that much more smoothly. He's also very forthright. He knows how he feels and tells you how he feels and that makes the process of governance that much easier. |
He definitely is loquacious. He's outgoing. He's quick with a smile and a joke. It is endearing. We always encourage him to talk slower, but it's his nature to get as much information out there as possible. |
He did it with pride. And I'm glad my brother did it, with pride he stand up for who he is to defend himself. If he was just to let them shoot at him like a dog, we would never know where he is, who did it. |

He did tell me that 'In Cold Blood' scraped him down to the marrow of his bones. That's how he phrased it. He achieved fame, money, everything a writer ever, ever wants in the world, and it ruined his life. |
He didn't adjust well to the situation, but we tried to emphasize that it was a learning experience. But we kind of reminded him to let the game come to him instead of trying to force things and make plays. |
He didn't treat me as an ex-player. He allowed my opinion to mean something and he gave me a lot of responsibility. That's something I cherished. It allowed me to grow as a coach and learn from my mistakes. |
