...If you've ever watched a child use ketchup you can tell early on that the current model is not easy for them to control. Mom gets frustrated and she yanks it out of the kid's hand.

(Henry) was productive for us in the second half of the game last week against Baltimore, when we needed five yards to kneel on it, and he got 20. He ran hard against a good defensive front. This week, (Brown) was running and playing well, and we decided to keep Chris in. Chris was hot, and we were going to go with him. Travis got a couple opportunities in the ballgame. |
[#149; Twice -- twice! -- allowing assistants to buy groceries for players who didn't have enough money to eat: $20-$30 for a player whose meal plan hadn't begun yet and $20 for a prospect who hadn't yet received his scholarship.] I just felt sorry for those guys, ... Maybe because I was that kid once, you know? No money, no friends, and you haven't eaten for two days. |
[3. The atmosphere. The heat, the humidity, the noise.] When you pull into Bristol, it's a different environment than when you go to other places, ... How you have to drive the racetrack is so intense and so aggressive. Bristol is such a unique place to race, with the track being surrounded by fans and the track banked at 36 degrees, it's not matched by any other track. |
[As mayor, he has promised to plant 1 million trees, to start building a subway to the ocean, and to take over the city's ailing school system, from which approximately 60 percent of Latinos and 50 percent of African-Americans drop out.] Antonio doesn't do politics for the purpose of political expediency, ... His thinking is guided by what's in his heart, gut, and head. |
[Bahman Badiee of the Iranian Society of South Florida said,] Iranian-Americans have recognized the urgent calling of their native land and will gather in New York City to once again reject the leader of the mullahs' tyrannical regime and its ideology of terror. ... Iran's UN seat belongs to the Iranian nation, and not to Tehran's terrorist president and his delegation. |
[But Privacy Council CEO Larry Ponemon took a different tack in a conference call with reporters.] I feel like the lone soldier attacking the hill, ... We don't see Passport as a large privacy issue here. Quite frankly, folks, Passport itself is not creating the kinds of privacy problems that are being advanced by EPIC (Electronic Privacy Information Center) and others. |
[Cardinals Hall of Fame shortstop Ozzie Smith recently spent three days in North Carolina working with Tampa Bay Devil Rays shortstop prospect B.J. Upton , who plays for the Class AAA Durham Bulls.] And I think he's going to speak to the entire club sometime, ...

[Fortunately for Minnesota, it has the league's easiest remaining schedule, with 25 of its final 31 games against teams with losing records. However, a favorable schedule means nothing if the rotation doesn't do its part.] We feel like we're beginning to click, ... but we need to really pick it up.
