It's still fears over further disruptions in Nigeria, and the Iranian situation continues to bubble underneath the surface. Whatever OPEC says, the market is unlikely to pay much attention. They lost control of the market last year, and to cut production with oil near $70 would be irresponsible. |
It's such an important position that I needed to have someone back there who was familiar with the hitters and who could handle the pitchers. His best position is in the outfield, and I'm sure he'd rather be out there, but he's been pretty good about the change and he's doing a great job for us. |

Jeff Gordon came along at just the right time when NASCAR was trying to reach out to a new generation of fans. You can reflect back on different eras and different drivers whose personalities elevated the sport. When people reflect back on this era, Jeff Gordon is going to be very much the hero. |
Joe brings a great deal of energy, excitement and enthusiasm to his new role as defensive assistant. He's been a coach on both sides of the ball and has extensive experience at the collegiate level working with the defensive line. We are excited that he has agreed to become a member of our team. |
Joe is a guy who is extremely prepared and extremely positive. He's a guy about relationships and about the team. If a player comes and asks him to sit down and have a few pops, he'll say, 'Let's do it.' He's a teacher who is prepared when he teaches and wants us to be prepared and get it right. |
John (Beck) floated the ball into the end zone and I tried to run underneath it. It was just out of reach. When I was coming down my left hand turned all the way around and my full weight on my thumb pushed it the opposite way. It was broken pretty bad; I have screws and a plate in it right now. |
Jonah is an incredibly determined man and if you have his faith and resilience, you can achieve almost anything. Let's not forget that we are talking here about the greatest player to have graced the game, so if he can reignite the old spark, of course he will be in contention for a Test recall, |
Just as forever those who lost their lives will be remembered as part of the Olympics and the Olympic dream that will take us through to 2012, so too will the fortitude, solidarity, strength and resilience of London and Londoners see us through the next seven years until the games begin in 2012. |
Just the fact of the head and tail, and the food looking at you, people don't go for that. And that's very traditional. You find it in most places; it's very common. But it's so different, some people are afraid to try it, or they're intimidated by something they don't really know or understand. |
Kris Gibb-Smith hit a three 22 seconds into the second half and we showed we were still focused. I was very pleased. We didn't get sloppy and the players were remarking about how we have playoffs to prepare for and we can't let down -- Travis Gorham in particular took on a leadership role there. |
Last week we enjoyed playing in front of a large homecoming crowd at home. This week, we're going to a place where we won't have the crowd on our side. It'd be nice to ride some momentum (into the game). Realistically, we're playing a very tough opponent that's riding some momentum of their own. |
Last year I didn't think we were getting in, and obviously we didn't. I also didn't think Northern Iowa was getting in, and they did. So that was kind of a slap in the face, almost. We finished ahead in the conference and they still got in ahead of us. We didn't really understand that very much. |
Last year I got into a slump at a bad time because our team was desperate. We were losing a lot of games and they made a lot of moves during that time, and I was one of them. Instead of going with another team, I chose to stay home and get healthy to be 100 percent for Spring Training this year. |
Les Ferdinand was a player we spoke to. Though he still trains every day, he has a lot of media work going on and is not able to make a commitment. He has nothing to prove as a footballer - his future is in the media and we respect that. Hopefully this shows we are not scared to speak to anyone. |
