It's a transition from where we were last year as a team, and, with that, it unfortunately takes some time for a team that plays that way to find its form. Early in the season, you can make a couple of mistakes and lose games like this. We don't want to make anymore, that's for sure. |
It's a very important part of our marketing effort to increase ticket sales and improve sponsorship relations. When a family decides to come out to Shea for a game, the first thing a lot of them do is look at the promotion schedule. They look for giveaways or any other added benefit. |
It's a very significant change. This reflects the growing importance of online content, but, at the same time, print remains very important, and I think the Pulitzer competition now reflects a blend of print and online, which is what most newspapers are seeking to achieve these days. |
It's about how hard the man is willing to play. Then you look at how hard he's willing to be coached. So you've got to find the type of men for whom football is so important that I've got to lock them out of the facility. That's what I'm looking for and that's what I'm going to find. |

It's always a question. He could very well be ready to start the season, I don't know, but we're certainly not going to have that as a necessity. The most important thing is covering all of the issues now. Once we get him back, he'll be the guy he wants to be and we expect him to be. |
It's always great to shoot against Alaska-Fairbanks no matter how good they are. They are always the team to measure yourselves against and see how we stack up. The kids are very excited and motivated. We know how good they are, and we should have no problem getting up for the match. |

It's been an inspiration to our team, no question. We talked about it. The fact that we're able to play this last game in Detroit, we're getting him back there. Now what we have to do is make sure this is a positive. That's the message now and the driving force for that team, really. |
It's best to have an injured ankle evaluated as soon as possible for proper diagnosis and treatment. If you can't see a foot and ankle surgeon or visit the emergency room right away, follow the RICE principle -- Rest, Ice, Compression and Elevation -- until medical care is available. |
It's better than no season, but barely. It'll be devastating. We'll lose ice plants, fish markets, buying stations, fuel docks. Plus, we'll lose the market share we've made gains on in the last few years. They'll go back to farmed fish, or find somebody that can get it out of Alaska. |
It's good to see that there's less outright gift-giving, but we're seeing more and more dollars being spent by special interests to see favorable legislation passed. This only highlights the need to get more regular people involved in the political process to advocate for themselves. |
It's great to have this behind me and to know I'm going to be with the Giants and with this group of guys for a long time, ... This is a big relief and it means I can just concentrate on playing football. No one knew [the negotiations] were going on, so it never became a distraction. |
It's great to know you can beat a team you've never beaten before. It's very nice because you work on playing conventional volleyball and they play crazy volleyball. It frustrates the fool out of you. But we worked hard, persevering, passing and not giving up even though they dug us. |
It's hard because officially, by UIL rules, you cannot schedule games or sign contracts (until the realignment is announced). All you can do is talk to people and tentatively say, 'If this happens we'll play each other.' Right now everybody's just out there talking to everybody else. |
