Rocky Bernard had an excellent football game. What pushes that button? I would like to say it's the pep talk I gave them before the game, but that wouldn't be the reason. They executed the plan. They stuck with it. They must believe in their coaches, and that's part of it. And the assistant coaches did a marvelous job in the game. They really did. |
Roscoe Baker, Jimmy Walker, Billy Blair, Dennis Lynch - so many names - we would go into the heart of Roxbury and play, ... The name of the local team was the Roxbury Royals. They had a court that you could see into from the apartment buildings, so it was like a double-deck and they played their opening theme song loudly and it was `School's Out.' |
Ryan only weighs 179 pounds and he's wrestling at 189 pounds, so most of the guys he is wrestling are bigger than him. Most of the guys he is wrestling are cutting weight to wrestle. For him to do what he did shows the type of heart he has. And he decided he would go 189 so his brother (Sean) could go 171. That shows you what type of person he is. |
Sales growth in international markets helped drive revenues to record levels for the third quarter in both the professional and residential segments, helping to mitigate weather-related softness in our domestic markets. Despite a challenging environment, year-to-date consolidated net sales are nearly 10 percent ahead of fiscal 2004's record level. |
Seems to be the way we play lately. Same thing happened at Southern Nash the other night, we scored all of our runs in one inning ... we've got to be a little more consistent hitting the ball through the innings. Not just hit and wait for one big inning. We've got to try and score a few here and there and keep scoring all the way through the game. |
She has to be aware of the environment she's in. This is a big, big story now. You can't be so naïve to all of these elements. As a journalist, in her tone and words and in the context of the event -- for all of these reasons, she put herself on Sheehan's side ... I think that's inappropriate, for a reporter to be aligning herself with a subject. |
She was quite in shock, like a lot of us were. But she calmed down quickly. The baby cried for just a minute and then was OK. (The mother) was quite coherent, but she couldn't wrap her mind around the trauma. She said to her little boy, 'This is one reason I like to keep you close.' I tried to be reassuring that it was over. That's all you can do. |
Some dogs take longer to mature. They're kind of freaked out by their first experience. You need to have patience and give them another chance. But some people aren't patient. They'll hook up dogs, take them out and if they don't perform the way they want them to in the first or the second run, they're done with them. They'll just get another dog. |

Some people will say it doesn't matter, but I think it was a pretty important win just because of losing those four in the playoffs and going 0-6 here this year, ... We need to mentally know that we can come here and beat these guys. I think we do know that. We just have to come out and do it. The fact that we did it tonight will help us mentally. |
Sometimes during games, I'll look over at him after somebody does a particular thing, and he'll just shake his head and laugh because it's gone back and forth so many times. He'll say, 'OK, let's see how we feel about it the next day.' He'll come in and his percentage changed a bit, mine's changed a bit and it's been that way for the past 10 days. |

Sometimes these Davis Cup doubles are on a knife's edge, especially when it's a 1-1 scenario, it shows how pivotal they are, but this was a good effort, tough players those two guys. You've got Max ranked three in the world (in doubles) and the other guy's a hell of a hitter of the ball. These are not easy to win. That was a very good performance. |
Sport can be used for messaging, for example, making the connections between shin guards or a helmet that protects you, and protection in terms of HIV and AIDS. There has also been a very active program in Africa called 'Kick Polio out of Africa,' where soccer players have spoken out in terms of polio. There is also going to be a swim for malaria. |
