I think Roy now understands that his legacy is on the line. He wants redemption, and the only way he can get that is by beating me. For once in his life, he's taking a real risk, and you have to commend him for that. But it's Tarver time. Roy might be as great as everybody says he is. But I plan to show once again that he's not better than me. |
I think that reshaping the [committee] the way I did and getting Pat Bowlen and Jerry Richardson to become directly involved the way that Dan Rooney and Wellington Mara were in past negotiations is a real positive, ... It shows that we are serious and determined to reach out across the table, and hopefully that will be the beginning of a deal. |
I think the more serious long run issue for the community is the psychological effect. Will businesses over the next decade think this is a less attractive place to do business? Will individuals think this is a less attractive place to live? To visit? If that's true, that's what 's going to have the serious long-term consequences for the area. |
I think the system, as it currently is, probably was a slight disadvantage to Charlie and myself. Everybody assumed we were going to the Super Bowl, which they were correct, and they didn't want to wait until February to have a chance to talk to us again and maybe make a decision about a coaching job. I would have to say it was a disadvantage. |
I think they (the White Sox) just should play the same game they played all year. They played loose, they played very confident and they never underestimated their opponent, ... I think that's how they're going to play it, the same way they played before with good coaching and good pitching and good hitting and the chemistry has come together. |
I think we are seeing a second round of layoffs if you will in some large corporations. We're also seeing a lot of mergers and acquisitions. And the other thing that we're seeing is: corporations putting their capital where they can get the best return, and often that is outside the U.S. for low wage jobs... inside the U.S. for high wage jobs. |
I think we do ... as good as the best job in the National Football League of making sure players are aware of their vulnerability, their profile. There's no place to hide in Kansas City. Our fans know our players. (We tell players) to use common sense and to be aware of the problem areas. Stay out of the bad areas. Be alert for certain things. |
I think we still don't know for sure where he's at physically. We know he's not ready to come back yet. [We don't know] whether he will be before the end of the season. But we're getting to a point where he's going to have to start playing to get ready to play for the rest of the year. I don't know. It's really hard to determine at this point. |
I think we would really like to build on this. We've got a bunch of guys coming back. You know the one thing you want to do? I want to practice as long as I can with this team. ... Selfishly just from that standpoint, I want to keep extending the season so we can keep coming back on the court and talk basketball as a group as much as possible. |
I think we've got a little bit of an identity right now that we didn't have in the beginning of the season. Back then, we didn't know how to win. I think we have guys right now that understand what they need to do. Now we have some semblance of a team. It took a while for our guys to figure it out. That put us in a whole, but we're better now. |
I thought Montesano had the crowd on its side. They had the momentum. They're going against a team that has won 11 in a row, that's first in the league, and had us on the ropes. At the end Tracey hit those two free throws, which was great. Because you would have never known what would have happened if she missed those. Those were real crucial. |
I thought the game was over after the sack. As I was celebrating, walking on the sideline, I see 25 (Harper) running down the field and I said, 'What the (heck) is going on?' Ben made a great play on that. That was the play of the game. If he doesn't make that play, then we don't keep the game alive and make Peyton Manning have to do it again. |
I told the guys from Tampa Bay, this is not to be disrespectful. Some guys are playing the fourth day in a row. That's not what Spring Training is supposed to be. We do the best we could. We played a game [Sunday night]. It was a doubleheader, to boot. [Tuesday's] game is actually OK. We'll let some of these guys play and get an extended look. |
I told the team at halftime that we needed to pick up our scoring. We needed to get the ball into the post and be more patient on offense. When we did that, things just fell together. I was really happy with our overall play. This was a key week for us in the standings and I think winning both puts us in position to contend for a championship. |
I used to think, 'I wonder if I could break his leg at training today'. I'd question what I was even doing there, spending so much time when I knew I wouldn't get to play. The answer always came back to, 'What would I rather be doing, sitting on the bench for the All Blacks or sitting at home watching it on TV?' The answer was always the same. |
