I think it's definitely more pressure than last year. Last year Lance sort of absorbed everything and I was able to just kind of hide out around him. Now it's a little bit different. ... It's a little bit more pressure, but it's welcome pressure. |
I think it's going to be similar to this year where the shortage of veteran pitchers — I don't know if it will approach the spending it did this year, but it seems to be that kind of trend. They're more valuable than ever, guys with experience. |
I think it's still too soon to say this is a sign that fundamental inflationary pressures are cooling off just yet. And I think commodities are due for another leg up -- this has been a correction in a still more fundamental longer-term trend up. |
I think it's the only completely American sport that there is. Most of the team sports are a variation on the old medieval tournaments, but stock car racing is so American. It's astounding to me how many people are interested in stock car racing. |
I think it's very unfortunate that now Danish interests, Danish buildings are being attacked in Syria, but let me also say that Syria is a police state, and this could not have happened if not the authorities in some way had allowed it to happen. |
I think more than anything, this is our first opportunity to see how our cars are going to handle in the draft in actual race conditions. We have been to the test, but it's not an actual race and this is, so that's probably the biggest advantage. |

I think our bracket looks, superficially, to me to be the toughest. That and Oakland look very, very tough. We got a fair but very difficult bracket. What it's got is teams that have been there before. And there's something to being there before. |
I think President Clinton is a strong defender of the American interests, and I am a strong defender of the Chinese interests, ... But despite that, we still can have very friendly exchanges of views and discussion. And I think that is democracy. |
I think right from the get-go we didn't bring the same intensity and basic effort that we did the last few games. I think we thought we might come in here and get an easy game off our back, but that wasn't the case. They pretty much outworked us. |
I think right now we're a little bit apathetic. We've not been really ready to play in a week or so. We're trying to address that right now. I feel like we're in a little bit of a slump. We're finding ways to win games but we're not playing well. |
I think that they have a right to protest, because those young people that are going to school and studying are not here to harm the country. On the contrary, they are going to make this country richer and they have a right to be treated equally. |
I think that's ridiculous. Look at what these guys have done, and the fact is we still have a chance to force a playoff game. You guys have written us off 25 times this year. I don't think you have a right to say that when game 161 is meaningful. |
I think the best way to do it is go ask coordinators out there what kind of problems he's causing, and do they have to change their game plan. If you make an offense change their game plan, they're going to have trouble. That's a positive for us. |
I think the biggest thing we have to do at that position is become consistent. We saw flashes at that position last year and I thought Rankin showed flashes, but we weren't consistent. We need to be consistent and we aren't physical enough still. |
