I think the greatest compliment I get is when people say, 'Thank you' to us after a show, ... The music brings people back to an easier time, when there was no stress, no worries about bills and mortgages or cholesterol. The biggest worry back then was whether you had a date on Saturday night. We're so happy to be able to make people so happy. The songs are simple songs, ones that everyone can relate to. |
I think these kids got it now. I think they have really gotten the concept on defense; the offense has been good, but not consistent all year long, and I think they got it this week. It's what happens with kids, and it's what happens with good teams that practice hard. Sooner or later, they absorb what you're trying to teach them, and instead of doing what you tell them, they do what they know how to do. |
I think we all understand that a running game allows you to control the game. When we were able to run the football, that allows you to protect your defense and it allows you to do a lot of things that help you to win. We were very, very average running the football. And I think that always comes back to haunt you. I can guarantee you this spring that becomes an area that we must improve in, and we will. |
I think we do believe in the offense now. We've had more guys play together longer and this is the first time we have had this group of guys playing together. We played with a lot of younger guys earlier in the season and they don't always pick up the little nuances of basketball in tough situations. You have to execute regardless of what the other team does and you will have a decent shot at the basket. |

I thought we had very good intensity in the first half, but I don't think our intensity was nearly as much as it was in the second half. It came down to who wanted it more and to be honest it was [the Patriots]. The one thing we have to do is forget about this one and move on with the rest of the season. I think we're going to be all right if we take care of our own business and stay away from bad plays. |
I thought we ran so much that we got a little bit tired. We need more contributions from more people if we're going to keep playing like this. You worry this time of year that you get hesitant and tentative and it becomes a walk-it-up kind of game. I don't want it to be like that. I don't want to be afraid to run and afraid to lose. I just want to run up and down and make some plays and see what happens. |
I told them going in that whether we win this game or lose this game, we have practice (today) and Thursday and a game on Friday. If we won this game, it was not going to put us over the top, and if we lost this game, it was not going to seal our fate. In our league, if you let one loss go into another, then you're in trouble. Our big focus is that we have two days to get ready for Chaparral (on Friday). |
I used to be crazy about being the best, No. 1. I wanted to be considered No. 1 heavyweight in the world and everybody know it. But now, at this point in my career, how things have been going in my career and not getting certain fights and people ducking me, I just concentrate on who I am boxing and I do not worry about the unification thing. You cannot make somebody fight you. Whatever happens, happens. |
I was a big, big Raiders fan, and eventually, when I got the opportunity to meet him and be around him, it was like a dream come true. Man, with football, he was the Raiders to me. Listening to his broadcasts, it was like you were on the field and you could see the guys cut. 'He's at the 5, the 15, the 20!' I didn't even want to watch the games on TV -- because I could see it and feel it in Bill's voice. |
I'd be all for it. I know that's up to management, not us. But we might have to bring him back. We definitely need him right now. I know it's something that would have to be handled in-house. And Kwame would have to come back and demonstrate to them that he'll do what is necessary. But I'd love to entertain the idea. I might suggest it myself. He has the size and strength and toughness we need right now. |
I'm afraid that what the Israelis failed to get from us at the negotiating table -- they suspended the negotiations two weeks ago and now they are negotiating with us through the bullets, through the missiles, through the tanks. This will not work. I'm afraid if the international community does not move to send a commission of inquirers, independent, neutral inquirers -- this killing field will continue. |
I'm excited about the addition of Alan Sears to our commentary lineup for two reasons ? he is a force to be reckoned with in the courtroom and is unequaled in his ability to articulate his defense of religious liberties in the written and spoken word, ... For years, I've been waiting for the ACLU to meet its match. I think that day has finally come in the form of Alan Sears and his Alliance Defense Fund. |
I'm into the old-school mode of production ? getting the right people to make the best product, ... That's what Quincy Jones would do: Get the right people to do everything, like on Off the Wall for Michael Jackson. Tim is a super musician, whereas I've never had training or anything. So coming from that point of view, I may play a chord the wrong way, but it really doesn't matter if it's wrong or right. |
I'm just happy. I came out this weekend and I was really focused, ready to go, and I told myself I could win. I went out there and I wrestled awesome. In the final I was a little worried, I have a lot of respect for Pelletier and the way (Dickey) beat Pelletier, had me a little worried. I just came out focused. I did everything I wanted to do, I controlled (Dickey) the whole match and I feel really good. |
