Pounds Quotations | Page 3

I believe with a certainty, in my opinion, he is the finest running back I have ever seen in professional football. And I know people say: 'Well what about Jim Brown? And what about Gale Sayers?'

He'll definitely have his opportunity after being in the shadows. He's a good cyclist, too, but he's starting to make the transition to more and more. He was always running tired the last few years when he did both, but as he concentrates on running, he should be more rested. He's been able to get in a lot of miles, which is something he hadn't done in the past, so he's been able to add 10 or 12 pounds of muscle.

The people responsible for this incident have caused thousands of pounds worth of damage and left a bridge dangerous and in need of rebuilding.

We've been waiting three years to pull out a good draw and Everton or Chelsea will be fantastic. Off the pitch it means about a million pounds for us. On the pitch it's a great opportunity for my young players to test themselves against Premiership opposition.

He's going to be a stud. You can just see it. He's excited to be at the rink every day. He does everything at the fastest tempo that he possibly can and God does he pound the puck. He's leading our team in shots in the preseason by a wide margin. It isn't like he's Bobby Orr leading the attack, he gets it at the point, he pounds it and he hits the net. Good things happen when you are doing that.

He's, by far, the most improved player from spring. The new coaching and the new technique and all those things combined tend to make for a tough transition (for a junior transfer) in the first four weeks of spring ball. But now the kid has just completely dedicated himself to the weight room. He put on 15-20 pounds of muscle, got after it and did an incredible job of doing what Bryce did when he was here.

I adore art...when I am alone with my notes, my heart pounds and the tears stream from my eyes, and my emotion and my joys are too much to bear.

I actually think I left 10 to 20 pounds on the stage, because it went up pretty easily.

That's when I knew I was getting close and this could really happen.

He didn't melt away pounds over the course of the season, like he did in previous years. But he's not a small player.

I think it's from high school when I played wide receiver and those thoughts haven't left my mind. I feel elusive. At SC I used to call myself a fat Reggie Bush. It was a joke Reggie and I had. I told him that if I was 200 pounds I might be doing the same things he's been doing.

I think that if Reggie Bush wasn't in this draft, Mario Williams would be head and shoulders the first pick in this draft. What you have ... is a pass rusher who has unique size and speed for the position. He's almost 6-foot-7 and runs a 4.7 (40-yard dash). Vertical jump is exactly the same as Reggie Bush and he's 90 pounds heavier.

I think the whole key to Craig is similar to Curtis. He grew up with a golf club in his hand and learned at an early age how to play the game.

He's one of those young pups that just pounds the ball which is why I didn't bet him on the side.

I think Shelby might have the best chance of advancing. He has a best of 600 pounds overall for the total lift.

I think on fillies, seven pounds is huge. You might not think so, but on fillies going a distance of ground, it is.

Who authorised the spend of millions of pounds and thousands of man hours into a stale, historical situation from three decades ago - with virtually no complaints made?

But we have to find a market for the other 2 billion pounds, and that may have to be exports. It's critical we get Japan, South Korea, Russia, and other markets opened. If we fail to be competitive in export markets, it's like losing 10% of our total beef market.
