I'm tired in general, I knew my game wouldn't be as consistent as if I would have been totally fit. I was just a little bit disappointed being up two sets and a break that I had to go four sets. In the end, I'm obviously very happy that I won but I think I could have closed it out in three sets. |
I'm trying to create an after-work scene on Thursdays. I'm trying to hire local acts, local talent, where people from work can come, hang out, get some drinks, hear some music. We're going slow at first. If I can get 25 people in the house here this week, maybe after a year we'll have a hundred. |
I'm very happy with where we're at right now. We've found a way to scrap out a couple of close wins to start league play and the kids feel confident. We're not scaring people or blowing anyone out, we're just finding ways to win close games and if we can continue to do that, we'll have a chance. |
I'm very, very excited about how the county has dealt with this process from the beginning. It's been very open, it's been very above board at each step and because of that the public is going to get a sports and entertainment venue that they are going to be proud of for the next 20 to 25 years. |
I've always tried to take a longer view and tried not to apply Band-Aid solutions. This is a very talented team. Both George and I like this team a lot and wanted it to have a chance to play together. But, having said that, we're out there trying to stay abreast of what's going on in the league. |
I've been around a lot of preseason games and never seen some of the things I saw out of their offensive line. I'm disappointed and I am going to call the league, ... There are a couple things where player safety was really brought into question and I want to make sure the league is aware of it. |
I've been feeling very good during practice but today I wasn't playing well, ... Most things need to improve, I was a little nervous. He was hitting the ball unbelievably well and I had to defend myself. I gave him some advice three days ago and was regretting that when I was on the court today. |
I've been in big rival games before, like Notre Dame-Michigan, Ohio State-Michigan and Utah-BYU. The way you get educated about a rivalry that you haven't been in before is to talk to the players. So I'm going to talk to Chris Leak and some other of our players who have been through this before. |
I've had mom and dad when he was here and Dorothy and the sisters, they've been on Good Morning America so our audience felt that they knew, that they know my family so when they see me upset and crying it put a face to it so it was a natural to wanna be here and do as much as I can to help out. |
I've heard some of that talk going around but nothing has progressed for doing something next year. With Sam leaving, it's the start of the 'Silly Season' and there will be a domino effect. We haven't talked yet so there is nothing going on but I expect something to happen in the next few weeks. |
I've never thought it strange to do highly contrasting things. I always thought it was all part and parcel of theatrical expression. At school, I loved doing revues, I was in a rock 'n' roll group and I staged a couple of musical events, then, when I left, I formed a little company to do Hamlet. |
I've really felt all year that this was the best shooting team I've ever had, but for whatever reason at times we've underachieved on the offensive end and haven't played up to our potential. That wasn't the case Saturday against Schreiner and that's a very good sign. But it needs to keep going. |
I've seen those knee braces save a bunch of knees. There's no question in my mind that Reggie Butler would be operated on right now if he hadn't had that knee brace on. It was a tough blow right to the knee, but the brace didn't allow the knee to bend to where something would be completely torn. |
I've written two books set in India... In the mid-'80s, I just fell for India, and it was like a love affair. I was obsessed with it. I read a few things, and looked at films, and it was as though I was more there than in England, where I was writing! This always happens to me, and it's magical. |
If Democrats want to argue that the administration misrepresented and distorted the prewar intelligence, OK, that's one thing. But if they push the argument that they have been duped, fooled and victimized - well, to a lot of [independent swing] voters, they're just going to come across as weak. |
