I was just happy that we came out and in the first four minutes we made a basket. Last year we didn't make a basket for the first three minutes. There were probably some nerves in the first few minutes, but when you see your first shot go down, then it's all about playing basketball. |
I was mediocre and I put Tiger in some tough spots. Certainly I enjoyed playing with Tiger and Retief and Adam but I just didn't play well. Your shortcomings show in the alternate shot format and playing with the best player in the world it showed today. I couldn't help Tiger at all. |
I was missing a little bit of energy. I got sick two, three days ago, and I'm still little bit weak, so it's difficult to run around and try to make winners all over the court, especially on clay. So I had to work a little bit harder, and unfortunately, I'm not really ready for this. |
I was proud of our players for wanting to learn about things that could help them present themselves to the public, ... I think it's one of high points of the year. It's no different from any other entertainer who is concerned that they present themselves in the most favorable light. |
I was really impressed when I met Will -- the police motto, 'protect and serve,' really means something to him. All he ever wanted to do is be a cop -- it's one thing to read that on the page, but another thing to hear him say it. It feels great to be making a movie about great cops, |

I was talking to [Texas third baseman] Hank Blalock , and he's in his first [Derby], and I told him 'The only thing I can tell you is you got to take pitches,' ... A lot of times, you get it into your thinking that 'I can hit anything.' But you have to get a few good pitches to hit. |
I was taught by my father, who could not read, that reading is the basis of all education. I learned this painful lesson as I watched him suffer through those simple tasks that all of us who can read take for granted. His inability to read affected every aspect of his life, and mine. |
I was working hard over the summer to get my grades straight to maintain eligibility when I noticed that I had been listed at third string. I was at summer school. One of the coaches told me that word was going around that I wouldn't pass my classes but I ended up passing my classes. |
I wasn't supposed to win, so it's always better to be the underdog. I am so happy that the year is not over and I get to go to states. For the last couple weeks of training I always pictured myself winning and not coming in second, so I just swam my race and I really proved it today. |
I watched him in Cleveland at my last fight. He's tough, strong and fast but I'm up for the challenge. I respect the man but once you've beaten Mike Tyson these guys don't hold any fear for me. Once I've won the title I'd love to get in there with the Beast and take his belt as well. |
I went away for a week. I had time to do a bit of fishing and to play some golf, trying not to think about the decision I had to make. It did get to me a bit. I lay in bed at night thinking about whether I should or shouldn't do it. I think it was just good to get away from swimming. |
I will forever look at it as teams saying we can't run the ball, ... I encourage defenses to play that way. If you play two-deep defense against us with the way we're capable of running the ball ... we are going to run the ball down your throat. I think today was a true test of that. |
I wish I had 11 more like him. He is one of the type players that only come around every once in awhile. It has been a pleasure coaching and teaching him the last two years. He will be missed not only on the court, but off the court and in the classroom. He is an all-around good kid. |
I would advise an incoming gay professor to stay closeted depending on the department they work in, for some are more liberal and accepting than others, ... Prior to becoming tenured, they may be judged on their sexual preference instead of their expertise, intelligence and research. |
