Knowing it's the end of the season and the end of my career possibly, I don't want to regret anything.

Walt Jocketty

I would think it's a good fit, ... but that's not something for me to decide. He started his career there, and he's obviously one of the top managers in the game that's not employed as a manager. Jim is going to manage somewhere in 2006. Definitely.

He dedicated his professional career to kids, and his retirement years to volunteer work, especially work with the credit unions.

Defensive ends and corners are the hardest guys to recruit.

Judge O'Flaherty's rulings are putting drunk drivers back out on the street. It's a threat to public safety. It's offensive to law enforcement and prosecutors and it's offensive to the public.

Our research shows that most drivers of new large pick-ups use them for commuting and personal trips.

Our number one recommendation is to have a plan before you go out. Designate a driver who doesn't drink. Use cabs.

Kevin had a great game. We have some smaller guards out there so he was able to do a lot more things. He had it going and was on fire.

Alden Ehrenreich

I would say that it's mainly about the director. It's a hard quality to find, but I always know whether I want to do something or not. The character is important to me, as is getting to work with people that I feel like I can learn from and make a great movie with.

Chuck D.

Joey wrestled a great tournament, and we don't want him to get lost in the shuffle. He was solid all weekend.

Darrent Williams

Guys are going to make plays. You've got to come back and fight.

He's able to find guys when they're open. And if they're not, he's open. He's going to score or get fouled. When you play with a big guy like that, it's a lot of fun.

Life can only be understood backwards.

Benjamin Hoff

A saying from the area of Chinese medicine would be appropriate to mention here: "One disease, long life; no disease, short life."
