knocks last people work
That's been one of the knocks on me, ... that people think I'm not strong. So that's one of the things I want to work on in my last year.
banging beat brian earn frustrated game games knowing last learned lesson mean playing throwing trusting valuable
I think Brian learned a valuable lesson last week. He was frustrated and I told him, 'They're going to make us beat them by throwing the football, so you need to take that as a compliment.' That doesn't mean you surrender. You keep playing because it's going to be a game where you earn every one of your yards. Games like this are games of persistence, games of trusting yourself, and knowing it's not going to look pretty all the time, but you have to keep banging away.
conscious four games last quite
I'm quite conscious that the last four games have been at home, so to go away is another big test.
challenged effort great house last players win year
(Lamar) drilled us at our house last year and we challenged our players to put out a great effort tonight. We didn't look pretty but we made the play we had to make at the end to win the game.
coach handle hit last pace pool race warm work
I was really nervous. I couldn't handle it being my last meet. Before my last race, I was in the warm up pool and my pace work was all off, I couldn't hit the times my coach wanted me to hit. It was just overwhelming.
complex last six uncommon
It's not uncommon for a complex investigation to last six to 18 months.
clumsy falls handling last normal production recovery situation surprising
It is not at all surprising that with the clumsy handling of the Yukos situation we started to see production falls last October. But now as things are getting back to normal we may see a production recovery back on track.
chances depth despite five games itself last playoffs position qualify six teams tough win
Despite the depth problem, I like this team's chances of being competitive in a very tough conference. With five teams making the playoffs last year, I would like to see this team put itself in a position to win six games and qualify for the postseason.
capacity hard last practical pushing runners since
Refiners are exhausted, like runners in midmarathon. They've been pushing very hard since last year. As a practical matter, these things have limits. If you push too hard, capacity drops.
carbon cycle emissions frankly human humans integral last longer results
The results frankly were a shock. We can see human fingerprints all over atmospheric methane emissions for at least the last 2,000 years. Humans have been an integral part of Earth's carbon cycle for much longer than we thought.
came far fast last progress throw
There's been a lot of progress between me and Mike. When I came in last year, he didn't know how fast I was and I didn't know how far he could throw it.
bad behind bounce figure kick last ourselves team time trouble younger
It's one of those things where you know the team is better than the way we've played. We see it from time to time. Trouble is, our bad stretches last a little longer, which comes from us having a younger team. We haven't been able to figure out how to kick ourselves in the behind and bounce back faster.
four last three
The last three or four years were a builder's dream.
brought couple driven equity interest last low markets money percent rates took
If you think about what's really driven the drive in equity markets over the last couple of years, it's been those low interest rates. What's brought all the money in has been that we took short-term interest rates back from over 6 percent (several years ago) to 3 percent.
