because they are so silly. Silly is quite a dangerous thing to be because you can fall flat on your face. And they sometimes did.

Bob Romeo

We've averaging 61 points per game, but the thing that makes me the proudest about this team is its defense. We've held teams to an average of 31 points per game. A lot of players get to play (as a result of big leads), and that means the kids on the bench are doing a good job defensively as well.

We remain concerned with the company's longer-term positioning, given its choppy sales showing despite significant store-level investment, and its poor return on capital.

Gerry Fleming

We're getting too cute, too fancy (with passes). That's what happens when you got new guys coming into the lineup that are skilled players playing with guys who are skilled players.

Joe Sakic

Jamie Foxx

Lil Wayne is a music god!!!!

Tracy Hickman

'Wayne of Gotham' is very much a father-and-son exploration. We've always seen Thomas Wayne through the years as this figure carved in marble; this perfect man.

Don Metz

We'll see which level Wayne wants to participate,

Roy McFarland

With the same three injuries to Wayne Allison, Shane Nicholson and Barry Roche, it means it's the same side as last time. They'll be given the chance to redeem themselves and rectify things and I'm sure they'll be hungry to do so.

Adam Pine

We've always had it in us. I think the men's team will continue to get stronger and stronger and we'll be winning many gold medals in the future.

Jim Hendry

We've always had a lot of respect for him. He pitched so well against us for Houston. He went out there last year with some discomfort and gutted out his starts in Boston. He's a winning-type guy. He's a winning pitcher who, when he's out there, he wins you games.

Chuck D.

We've always got a chip on our shoulder, they always say the offense has to pull us through. But in order to win games in the playoffs, we knew our defense had to step up.

Barry Alvarez

When we win big games, our running backs play well.

Ed Huydic

When we win and look good winning, it's because we've got some transition and we're knocking some perimeter shots down. We did not have the kind of transition night I wanted but we did stick some shots from the perimeter when we had to.
