It never rains but it pours, as they say. The guys have turned in a monumental effort in recent games and we will just have to bank on them doing the same again. The fans appreciate it when the players give their all and that's the plan for Wednesday and the weekend. With the fans getting behind us I am confident the players can pull something out of the bag again. |
It was a question of endurance, ... We were extremely keen to win the Ashes, because Australia had held them for a long time, and there were moments in the series when it was vital to last out. Everybody has different ways of doing that sort of thing, and my own was to expect every ball to be a good one. Therefore I would simply keep it out. That was my philosophy. |
It was a tale of two halves. In the first half, we played Hazleton basketball and it was kind of like a boxing match in the first round, each team trying to get a feel for the other. Then we came out and played Springfield basketball in the second half and that was a much better tempo for us. We picked up the intensity on defense and got the ball inside on offense. |
It was a very big win. Everything that could possibly happen to us happened in the first half. But just coming in the locker room, guys never thought we were down. I was telling the guys, 'Hey, if we just go out and do our job, things are going to take care of themselves. ... If we run our offense, they can't stop us.' And I think we showed that in the second half. |
It was an image that I'll never forget for the rest of my life. When we walked into the emergency room, we saw him laying lifeless with his eyes closed. He was hooked up to several different machines that were keeping him alive. Courtney and I both started screaming and crying. We didn't know or understand what was going on because he was feeling fine that morning. |

It'd be fascinating to hear what he thinks, if he'd actually tell you. The guys who are most frequently mentioned for the job are all ivory tower types. I don't think anyone has the breadth and experience dealing with the business community as Greenspan did when he came on the job. Certainly they don't have as much experience as he accumulated in the past 17 years. |
It's a groundbreaking sponsorship. For MLS to get this deal done sets a standard for the league's sponsorships and will get them closer to being a recognized sport in the United States like the other four major leagues are. There's absolutely no question that Adidas and Nike see the handwriting on the wall. Soccer is here, it's going to grow and it's going to stay. |
It's a matter of choice. But there's no substitute for being in class. Just as they have to spend a certain amount of time on the waves to attain a necessary level of skill, they also have to spend enough time in the classroom to attain a high level of knowledge. Sure, some people have succeeded in life without a proper education, but those are few and far between. |
It's always a probability that you're going to have a big wreck, and it's always somebody else's doing. Somebody gets really aggressive, three- and four-wide, they get bumping through the tri-oval and somebody loses it. Let's just hope that doesn't happen. And if it does happen, let's hope I get through it and I'm in the front already when it's happening behind me. |
It's appalling that the US military killed these women's families and then the US government rejects their visas on the grounds that they have no family to return to in Iraq. These women have no desire to stay in the United States. We had a very hard time convincing them to come, but we told them how important it would be for their stories to be heard by Americans. |
It's good for Wal-Mart to get into California but it's not as if Wal-Mart's future depended on this vote, ... At the same time, what the Inglewood decision could have some effect on is Wal-Mart's attempts to get closer to metropolitan cities, especially if we see other cities around the country putting up similar opposition to having Wal-Mart in their neighborhood. |
It's great to be able to connect to upstate New Yorkers and to talk to them about the concerns they have. We have to make sure that Upstate New York has the jobs they need, to make sure that our kids stay in upstate New York and have the ability to live here. We've got to make sure we take care of senior citizens and that the educational system is what we promised, |
It's looking not very good. I haven't received that official word. The agent thought we were holding the draw (Friday) and he didn't want to hold a wild card that could go to another player. ... A week ago Sunday they asked us to hold a wild card. Every time he won another round (in Cincinnati) it crossed my mind, but I just thought his knees must be really strong. |
It's very exciting to see clients both domestically and internationally embracing our technology to provide greater educational opportunities. There has certainly been a great deal of discussion and attention lately on the importance of including an international focus on education. We are enthusiastic about how technology, such as Blackboard, can drive this focus. |
