He taught Eddie everything. He was very generous with his knowledge. ... I started learning everything I could about wine making and the politics of the Bureau of Alcohol Tobacco and Firearms who, at that time, controlled your life. |
He told me, 'Coach, I was over there talking to some eighth-grade kids,' ... But I don't have any problems with players feeling that way and in fact I went in and told Emeka and he said that was good. What the hell, let's go for it. |
He wanted to play. We let the team decide that. Porter's a competitor, and they voted to let him come out. He's a competitor from the time he walks on the practice field to the time he walks off. He's a nice addition to our defense. |
He was a heroin user by his own admission for a number of years and his veins are significantly compromised; therefore, it makes it much more difficult to find a vein and have the anesthesia, which is necessary to sedate the inmate. |
He was an offensive lineman on our 1996 state championship team. His weight wasn't a problem as a junior, but when he began to fill out, he gained too much weight. He didn't start a number of games because he wasn't at 275 or under. |
He was asked on several occasions not to approach the children or Miss Anderson and despite these warnings, he continued to make contact. This was done mostly to protect the children and allow them to feel safe in their environment. |
He wasn't taught much fundamentals from a perimeter standpoint. When you are standing in front of the press, you have to be defensively sound and guard the quicker guy on the floor. That was asking too much from a first-year player. |
He will come up to the Capitol, as far as we know right now, by a procession probably Wednesday morning and lie in state at the Capitol Rotunda on Wednesday and Thursday, and, we think, a funeral at the National Cathedral on Friday, |
He will have this restitution requirement for the rest of his life. At this point I'm not overly optimistic we're ever going to get anything out of the bankruptcy. I am optimistic we're going to get something out of the restitution. |

He's a big body, he played awfully tough tonight. I think he had 21 points, probably the best game of his career. He's a horse inside and we're not very physical. . . My hat's off to Elijah, he's a solid ball player inside for them. |
He's a good hitter. You put it where a guy like him likes it you're going to pay the price. We didn't pitch him very well. Our approach was to work him away, work him off-speed and elevate the ball. We just didn't elevate it enough. |
He's a good player and for not playing last year he's doing very well. He's a good athlete with good speed and that makes him very helpful. He'll catch some balls, get some respect and that will open up someone else to get the ball. |
He's a great success story, I am really excited for him for not just his hockey but his life. He's just a great person; without question one of the best kids we have had come through here. Michel is a Black Bear through and through. |
He's a guy that when, everyone else is getting tired or saying 'We don't feel like going out there today,' he really motivates us. When he's out at practice, he's flying around any time he gets a chance. He's really detail-oriented. |
