Famous Quotes & Sayings

Roger Federer

Josh Miley

That's just extra motivation for me. I want to prove the coaches wrong. I've beaten a couple kids who were ranked in the Brakeman, but I like the underdog role anyway. There is less pressure this way.

Alton Merkerson

As strange as it sounds, Roy wasn't motivated for those two fights. Roy is either self-motivated or he's not motivated at all. For those fights, he was bored. He was tired of pleasing other people. The second Tarver fight; he figured he'd beaten Tarver the first time when he was weak and had trouble making weight so now it would be easy. I didn't get what I should have gotten out of him in camp. And with Glen Johnson, it was the same thing. You can't make a fighter train if he doesn't want to. He might come to the gym but he won't work right while he's there.

Chris Smith

You have to have that consistent effort ... to win the game, period.

Bill Bavasi

This was a pretty high priority for us in the off-season. The signing for us is terrific because there's so few real quality left or switch-hitters that can operate in the middle of the lineup and be as consistent as Raul. We wanted to lock him up.

Chris Petersen

We talked last year about him taking the next step there, and that didn't happen for whatever reason where we wanted him to. Did he get better? He did. He got better on occasion, but he wasn't the consistent guy that we needed.

Julie Futch
