Famous Quotes & Sayings

Hunter S. Thompson

Gonzo journalism is a style of ''reporting'' based on William Faulkner's idea that the best fiction is far more true than any kind of journalism -- and the best journalists have always known this. True gonzo reporting needs the talents of a master journalist, the eye of an artist/photographer and the heavy balls of an actor. Because the writer must be a participant in the scene, while he's writing it -- or at least taping it, or even sketching it. Or all three. Probably the closest analogy to the ideal would be a film director/producer who writes his own scripts, does his own camera work and somehow manages to film himself in action, as the protagonist or at least a main character.

Greg Valliere

I personally think the 1992 analogy has been overdone.

Pat Brisson

Jack thought long and hard about it. It was very flattering for him that Carolina was so interested but Jack just feels his development is best served by staying another year at school. It was a tough decision but Jack feels good about it.

Chris DiMarco

Jack's the best, the best of all time, and to make that putt for him is what it's all about, ... We wanted to get a win for him so much. Last night, we had a great, emotional dinner. Everybody got up and talked, and I think everybody said they wanted to go out and win this for Jack. And to do that is unbelievable.

John Bogle

Jack Brennan is the best person I could possibly have found,

Ed Oakley

I would say it's in his best interest, at this stage of the game.

Bob Feasel

It wasn't pretty at all. We were trying to dig ourselves out of a hole all night. We had a hard time defending people and a hard time making shots. It was just one of those nights.

Brad Soderberg

Our deficiency as 3-point shooters showed up, badly. When that happens, there is a domino effect. Once we quit making our shots from the perimeter, they stop defending us. Then our No. 1 threat, which is Ian, just gets locked down. Ian did not get a shot at the basket.

Dave Wannstedt

No question, we've seen it all. There's nothing in there we won't have seen. But as a defensive coach, you can't worry about defending ghosts. You can talk all you want about a team and the way they do things, but it comes down to what gets done on the field,

Jim Buckley

I was Jim Sundberg, ... Oh, you remember him?

John Dern

Jim thought 'world headquarters' implied a pretentiousness that wasn't appropriate.
