We've been down this road with other players before. I'll just let you know, as it pertains to any punishment... there is, according to NFL rules and union contracts, there is a large difference between allegations and charges and convictions. Until at any point there is a conviction of any type, I have no action to take and nothing to say. |
We've done a couple dates with them in the past, and we've always been big fans. We [wanted] to do something a little different for the show. I was just thinking he'd do some harmonies and stuff, and he was like, 'I've got some stuff I wanna sing.' So he kind of went off and sang some melodies that he had made up, and they were really cool. |
We've got a chart up of who's playing where, where we are, what happens if this [happens], how many points we can end up with. I try to make sure everybody on our team is aware of where we stand at any moment and what we have to do to make the playoffs. Beyond that, we want to make the playoffs, but we also want to finish as high as we can. |
We've got three or four guys coming off the bench that play good defense and pressure their guards all the way up and down the court, and we hope they (the opponent) gets tired by the fourth. We've just got to get them to play our game. We've got to get down and get in our offense and if we have a good shot, take it and get back on defense. |
We've had some tough losses in the last couple of weeks. We just decided to go into this tournament and play as a team. We've been on and off in playing together because we don't have the years of trust built up. You get into pressure situations, and it's hard to have that trust level. We said we had to have it and everyone committed to it. |
We've made some calculations about whether we could put a plant in northern Minnesota, based on the debris that's left after you cut timber, like the tops of the trees. It's difficult to get enough together to support [an ethanol] plant. That material is scattered enough that it gets expensive to collect it all and bring it to one location. |
We've made this trek a little harder on us. But you can't expect to win every game and it may not hurt to get back to reality a little bit. We've overcome setbacks before and I'm upbeat about how our team will rebound. We have to have a strong game from start to finish. We can't take periods off and we'll have to keep our emotions in check. |
We've probably had more conversation in the last 10 days than we've had in the last 10 years, and I don't know if that's good or bad for the rest of the competition and for what Brian and/or NASCAR would otherwise be trying to accomplish, ... But we certainly share an interest and a stake in the result of the question that's in front of us. |
We've tried from the outset to show there's a step-by-step process to all of this. If you're in a swimming pool and the water's over your head, you're reaching with your toes to find bottom before you can push yourself up to the surface. I think at this juncture, we feel like we've certainly found bottom and now everything's in front of us. |

Well this obviously has been a long, tough year. I'm disappointed that things had to end this way. I understand this business and I understand your job as a head football coach is to win games. Obviously when you put your heart and soul into something and it doesn't work out the way that you wanted and anticipated, then you're disappointed. |
Well, I'll tell you, about a year ago in November the National Zoo had its first litter of cheetah cubs born. And when we had them debut, the very first day, we had over about 2,500 people file through just for them. And I don't mean to make it a popularity contest, but they were nowhere near as popular before their debut as this panda cub. |
What Delaware needs to stay competitive is a whole new scene, and that is to create a entertainment district in Wilmington. And that entertainment district is a lot more than slot machines and parking lots. That entertainment district [would be] world-class jazz, R&B, rock 'n' roll, comedy acts and casinos run by top-notch casino operators. |
What makes Dave so strong is his understanding of training and willingness to pay the price He has given up the other sports and focuses on running now. It's a little too early to talk about what he's destined to do. Later on this season we'll have a better idea. He's doing some advanced workouts and we will have to see how his body reacts. |
