exactly guys time
I don't have to say anything. You guys know. Now is the time to make plays. That's exactly what I do. That's why I'm here.
guy pounding side touching
Very tough, especially when you look on the opponent's side and you don't see Peyton (Manning) touching the ground. How much pounding can a guy take?
basketball early game guys half heart possessed second soul stepped
Brandon's the heart and soul of our basketball team. He was possessed early in the game but the guys stepped up well in the second half in his absence.
blue dark guys
Put those guys in those dark jerseys, those heat-seeking, heat-soaking dark blue jerseys.
ask backup best both guy identity issue remains strong
Our identity still remains the same; we've just got another guy at the helm. He's the quarterback. He has a strong arm. Our backup is a quarterback, too. He's mobile. We've got the best of both worlds, if you ask me. Quarterback isn't the issue for us right now.
came guy introduced
My first recording, a guy came down to Philadelphia and heard me play and he introduced me to Alfred Lion.
boys
My boys told me they'd rather play than practice.
michael taught
Michael Coleman, now that was a boy that taught me some stuff too.
mom
My mom would have liked it that I patterned myself more after Jimmy Reed.
good passion tried year
When you have passion on the court, good things are going to happen. We have tried to play this year without passion and we just can't do it.
games later problem win
We'll win games so we won't have the problem later this year. It's understandable.
knew matured poised team whatever
We knew it wasn't going to be easy. But we've become a second-half team this year. I don't necessarily like it that way -- we don't like to have to come back. But we have matured enough to be poised and do whatever we have to do to come away with a win.
basketball good mental mistakes run team
We had our chances. We just would get a run and then make mental mistakes. But (Clinton's) a well-coached basketball team with some good players.
blame chances played responsibility team
We had our chances but we didn't play smart. And I can't blame them for that; that's my responsibility when they don't play smart. We didn't look like a well-coached team out there at times but we played hard.
