Tom Foreman Quotations

We knew they were very good, but we're a better football team than we showed tonight.

We've got an NCAA resume that might be the fourth-best resume in the conference. We wanted to win this first game and get the insurance policy but we didn't do that. I think we have to trust that the committee's not going to go back and throw the whole season down the tubes on us. I think it would be hard to toss us out.

We'd get behind, then close the gap, then they'd hit a couple of threes. We doubled Rodriguez a couple of times and left Noriega open.

Sedna, the Inuit goddess of the sea, is smirking. That's what polar travel is all about.

So many decisions of the Supreme Court have been made in the vacuum as to when life begins ... and it belies the scientific facts, the medical facts, that are out there today,

'Six Feet Under' is irresistible Emmy bait, ... It's sophisticated, it's elitist in its sensibilities, it's very cynical and it's brilliantly written -- the writing and acting is first-rate. And it's about life and death, which gives it a kind of aesthetic importance.

My impression was that this guy was driven by greed, and what drove him to make the change was greed.

My girls were mesmerized by Baker. They just couldn't get in the flow of the game. We couldn't run our offense. We couldn't run the press because the girls weren't in the right places to press. They just got mesmerized by her, and that told the tale of the game right there.

There is a huge political vacuum waiting to be filled.

He's a senior who has a lot of experience and played a lot last year and he's a kid we count on.

He's found confidence, and I think he's found his identity with this football team.

He was flying. Even on film, you almost had to slow it down.

We've had dialogue. It's just like the old days, in terms of the relationship.

You feel really bad when that happens. We were thinking we were going to get into that third-place bout, and then it turns out that he lost.

Every team tries to do something about him. And that's the scary thing. He still sits there atop the board for yardage by a non-running back. They do a good job of getting him the ball every way they can.

Assuming Republicans even retain their majority, nothing is going to get done in the next Congress at least on the president's agenda, or the House Republicans' agenda so it's bound to be a frustrating period.

The water's going down and they're coming out. We're seeing a lot more now. When the water goes down, you see what they're tangled up on. I expect we'll see a lot more.

Somewhere in the world someone is training when you are not. When you race him, he will win.

You're at home, you are in a comfortable surrounding, you have your fans, and you have the ability to control the noise much better, ... Noise is a factor.

This is the first time that Ebola has been identified as a widespread threat to gorilla and chimp populations in the region.

There was no flow to the game. We might have been physically and mentally tired. I'm mentally tired. I'm looking forward to a few days off.

This is the heartland. We want to challenge our lawmakers. We're targeting members of Congress who are not on record in support of this. We want to build on this.

This is very exciting for the city, particularly when it comes at no cost to the taxpayers,

This is a very small part of what these entities need. This is a trend that's going to continue.

It's a war of the titans, ... For every evasive maneuver someone takes, you know the counter-maneuvers.

It's been a major emphasis. We've had noise all three days, we've had officials. We've done a lot of things based on our experience in Seattle.

Stew Leonard's was an ideal place to debut our product, because consumers are in the mood to try new things.

It's been creeping up instead of galloping. Until they get enough (gasoline) in the pipelines, we're going to continue to suffer like this.

I've had to hold back certain things for legal reasons, or just out of common decency, but I think autobiography has got to be selected confessions, hasn't it? I could have said jolly things about some of the dreadful people I've spent my life with, but it would have been a cheat.

A circuit here and circuit there isn't going to cut it,

Size-wise, we'll have the advantage again. So we need to take advantage of that. We're not going to let them stand out there and take the 3s. We want to make it tough for them to make the 3s. We have to get out on them and close out on them. From what I've seen, their guards post up, but they don't have a post player that posts up.

I'm going to miss him when he's gone. Actually, I told him that in a sentimental moment. I probably shouldn't have done that. He'll think I'm getting soft on him.

I'm not sure I've ever coached anyone who loves the game of basketball more than Helen Johnson.

I'm convinced that every boy, in his heart, would rather steal second base than an automobile.

If we beat Glenville, we'll get a lot of points. If we don't, we could be in trouble.

I don't know how the mayor can send bills to Lakeview and expect them to get paid,

You can say for sure that the U.S. did not know about the Israeli raid before it happened.

The countryside is incredibly boring. There's lots of shagging, lots of murders, lots of sarcasm, lots of treachery, and lots of bad cooking, but it's all hidden. You've got all the space and the flowers, but it's dull!

The difference between reality and fiction? Fiction has to make sense.
