It felt like we were in a heavyweight championship fight, too. It was just a punch to the face. There are other ways to block people. He said it was an accident and I'll take him at his word. But it's the kind of injury that ends careers.

I still see it as a training block and I am expecting the athletes to be racing hard, and they'll have some extremely good racing in that period.

It doesn't surprise me to see him doing what he's doing. I think everybody recognizes that he's a talented guy who's a balanced tight end. He's a guy who can run and catch the ball, but he can also block pretty well.

I tell him he doesn't have to block every shot, but his presence alters the shots they take. Just his presence is intimidating.

I think I'm about the only one on this team who has ever been to Birmingham and seen what it looks like. But we should be ready. It might take a few trips down court, but we'll adjust. There will be a lot of things going on that can capture our attention, but we will have to block that out once game time is here.

I think he realized the situation and that this probably wasn't the time for screaming. He did a great job of motivating us and getting us to focus on exactly what we need to do and block out all the other stuff and don't worry about the score.

I think his chances of sticking in the NBA are slim. If he wants to get to the NBA, Albany is the right place for him. He can definitely help us inside; he doesn't score a lot of points but he can really block shots.

I still think that nobody gets into position quicker than Brett Hull, not a guy that's played. That's very hard to defense against. You don't have time to get in the lane to block the shot. His release and his shot were just phenomenal.

I thought it was a clean block at the end. It was a big win, a lot of people counted us for dead. I was glad to see our guys fight back, they met the challenge. Tonight the guys pulled together, responded and executed down the stretch on the fly.

I thought I had a good block when they called the foul. I wanted to be in the game at the last minute.

I write for three or four hours and then hopefully I'll have something. Then I draw for the rest of the afternoon... I literally block out Wednesday-Thursday-Friday - I more or less disappear.

I write every day. Most weekdays, I write about ten hours a day. That doesn't mean eight hours of surfing the Net or watching videos on YouTube. I park my butt in a chair and write... I learned that writer's block is a myth created by people who don't have, or understand, a writing process.

I'm starting to get used to it. Starting to see what guys are doing and how they block shots, so I know where to look when they're going to do it.

I'm still working on my pass routes, ... I never had to do it to this extent. In college it was a dump-off here or there. It's more intriguing here. I'm more comfortable in my blitz pickup. I feel I can block just about anyone and I'm not intimidated by any defender. I just look at it as a challenge, one on one.

I'm supposed to say, Bill O'Reilly, that's immoral - click - and then walk back in and book his A block the next day and have a fine day and everything be kosher? I don't think so.

I'm hoping the third game was more indicative of our team than the first two. We started so slow. They obviously are a great team, but we couldn't do anything right. We couldn't pass, couldn't defend it, couldn't block it. We were just half a step slow the first and second game. It was disappointing we weren't ready to play.

I'm heartbroken that I have lost my son over such ignorance and bigotry. I can't understand how someone who is supposed to protect the people of Welch could physically block another human from saving my son's life.

Mad is the man who is forever gritting his teeth against that granite block, complete and changeless, of the past.

I have a free couple of hours," I told him, walking toward my car, which was parked on the next block. "There's a very private, very secluded barn in Lookout Hill Park behind the carousel. I could be there in fifteen minutes." I heard the smile in his voice. "You want me bad.

I don’t see any police cars.” “They probably had to park a couple blocks over. Anyway, as I was saying, I noticed illegal substances in the hands of a few guests.” “So?” she snapped. “It’s a party.” “Alcohol is illegal under the age of twenty-one.” “Great!” Marcie shouted. “What am I going to do?” She paused, then raised her voice again. “You probably called them!” “Who, me?” Vee said. “And lose the free food? No way.

We need an all-precinct operation, with precinct captains and block captains.

That would be a big block in terms of the way Telstra looks at this. But I wouldn't expect the board to dismiss it out of hand. They will at least look at it.

That was just a great block by him. It was definitely a big play.

William Beckford came off the edge, he's going to be hard to block in pass rush situations.

We just didn't block very well up front. That was part of it.

We just couldn't do anything with them in overtime. I can understand guys missing shots, but I don't understand not being able to block them off the boards and give them second shots while we're trying to win a ballgame. They got to the free-throw line and we didn't. That was the difference in the game.

You can get a six-month rental from Spaniards who love skiing: they will drive or fly down from Madrid and block book an apartment for the whole skiing season. They are not there for the week but there for the weekend.

You can have it pop up with what historical location they're by, what restaurant they're by, what landmark they might be by, so yeah, you can get within a pretty good block radius, if not the exact location.

Win or lose, you didn't know, but there was no doubt at all that we were going to give an effort. The guys were going to block shots for each other. They were going to take hits for each other. You could sense that right from the morning breakfast all the way through. I think that's the feeling the guys have and we've tried as a staff to continue that this week.

We continue to have trouble getting our offense going against a good man-to-man defense. Defensively we are playing fine and the kids are starting to understand our press. We continue to struggle on our rebounding. We need to block out better.

We can't block him, ... He'll be an outstanding player. He's smart, plays hard every down. He's good.

When it's an eight-man front, the back has to beat one guy. We can't block everybody. Knowing he has the ball and he's either going to run them over for a yard or he's going to make them pay, it's nice to know he's back there. I've seen him forearm guys and flip them on their head.

When it happens over and over, and it's no call, no call - then a call ... The touchdown by Randy Moss looked like a touchdown to me. The call on Langston Walker looked like a good block to me.

While Dean counts the Vermont prescription drug program as an accomplishment, the truth is he put it on the chopping block four separate times. When the chips were down and Dean had to choose between balancing the budget and cutting prescription drugs for seniors, Governor Dean chose budget gamesmanship. That is not the type of president I would be.

We're both excited to play each other. It's going to be a little weird having her shoot on me, and having me try and block her shots.

We're blocking more shots than we have in the last several years, but I don't think as a coaching staff we're saying this is a point of emphasis for our defense. We don't want to be a team that's just jumping up in the air trying to block shots because there are a lot of things that happen that are not good if you don't block it. So we just have to be selective.

We finally put a whole game together and I am just so proud of the girls. We just played tough hard-nosed defense, contested every shot and tried to block out. The kids just stuck to the game plan and played really well.

We finally developed a little offensive consistency. We're finally starting to block for people.

We have been talking about globalization for a long time. Actually, the word has been incorrect because only half of the world has been part of the globalization process. But in the last ten years, the other half -- China, India, the countries of the former Soviet block -- has joined the capitalist system. And I like to say globalization is going global.

Well, I thought about the possibility of asking those guys to not block at all so Dennis could make someone miss on his own. When we try to block, that's when we get penalties.

We played very soft, a non-contact game. We had Wilcox jumping over us the whole game with no block out, drives with nobody putting a body in front, taking soft fouls and unnecessary fouls. I was just very disappointed.

Usually one person can't block him on that line. He gives centers a fit.

We can't guard (Pleasant leading scorer) Brad Martin on the block and they've got a couple of good shooters, so we could not allow them to get the ball to the quarter court. We got into passing lanes and we got deflections.

We get to see it Mondays. It is weird watching a guy block another player -- a great player -- and knock him backwards. You see as the game goes along that the guys are trying to get as far away from Walt as they can.

We get beat on turnovers every night. We can't get to the free throw line as much as our opponent, we don't create turnovers or block shots (or) get loose balls. So that's the end result, we give up a lot of points, a high field goal percentage.

We came through and made a big block on a punt and scored off of that. We've got to do a better job ourselves of kick coverage, punt protections and extra points.

We didn't block well, especially in the first half. We didn't tackle well on occasion and the punt return.

We did what we needed. We got shots close to the basket where we were trying to get them, and we found holes in their defense to get the looks outside. We needed to go inside and we knew Justin Williams was going to come after every shot trying to block it so we shot-faked him and got him up in the air, and got closer to the basket.

We are not looking to block access or control access of our customers to content on the internet in any shape, way or form. It would be counter to our own interests because we have a very large broadband business.

We had a play called, a run to the outside, but we knew that he wanted the fullback belly. We should have stayed with our original call in that situation but we went ahead with the fullback belly and we had not prepared for that against them. We flat out couldn't block all of their guys on the play. We should have overruled him on that one.

We had a number of plays yesterday and the week before in the running game where we're one play, one block away. One time it's maybe the tight end on the back side, one time it's the guard pulling, one time the back doesn't make the cut he's capable of making or he just misses the hole by a little bit.

When they called it tonight, my eyes lit up, and I had to try not to give it away. Ben made a great block on the backside, and I had Hines running free. I knew it was going to be a score.

When they block shots, when they get a dunk and when they just do what they do, it fires the whole team up. Just doing what they do, I think it can turn a game. I think it lifts our team.

When the time comes you've got to make stops. You've got to contest shots, block shots and make it tough for them. We're doing it as a team. Every night we get better at helping each other.

We had some open looks, but the key was we didn't make shots. We didn't do a good job of taking it at them early, and in the second half we took the attitude if they block the shot, then they block the shot.

We had some guys competing and that is definitely a start for this program and a building block for the future. I was proud of them. These guys have shown that they can work to get better and I love that.

We're at the point right now where it's getting close to being too much. But there are more revenues being pulled off this one block now than there was all of Broadway back in '93.

Times when I feel like I'm the last man, that's when I tend to play bad. So I try to block that out and just have fun. I feel extremely confident. The defense had an energy we haven't had all year. We feel like one unit right now, and that's important heading into the playoffs.

We do block specific Internet sites - by the nature of their content.

We were a little flat after yesterday. That was a big physical and mental game. But we dug down deep and found that little something extra. I thought Brandy did a beautiful job on the Magee girl. We didn't block her out on defense, but as far as initial defense and not giving her good looks, I thought Brandy did a great job on No. 15.

We definitely have to get better. We know we're not doing as good as we need to. We need to pay more attention to the little details. We're real close. It's just little things here or there, a guy taking a wrong step and missing a block or pre-snap stuff (leading to motion penalties). We need to correct some things. We're upset with how we've played and we need to get better.
