At least his family, his kids, will have something they can hold to and remember him by.

I think they will have to be some greater revenue sharing, reinstitution of a salary tax. But I don't think the big-market owners will agree to everything the smaller clubs want.

said Wells. ''I can't wait to win the World Series and have Bud Selig come up to me. I really can't. Who knows what will come out then?

That's not how this game works. A few years ago, we scored a lot of runs against Bud Smith, and then he came back and threw a no-hitter against us. It depends on how the pitcher is going. And there have been guys we should've killed, but we didn't.

That's like wearing a Bud Light shirt to a DUI trial,

This is a prime example of why Bud Selig needs to take a look at teams playing each other 19 ... times a year.

They're taking decent steps. They're going to get rid of steroids little by little. The answer is not having Bud Selig do his own private witch hunt.

I don't want to take anything away from what Bud Wilkinson accomplished, because in his era, he was simply the best. But for any team to win 34 straight games today is just remarkable. You have to say that what USC has accomplished is one of the great feats in the history of college football.

I don't mind saying it. Probably the biggest holdup right now is my assistant coaches. I feel strongly I've got a great staff.

A good run in the Bud Shootout doesn't guarantee a good run in the Daytona 500, but it is a nice indicator that this part of the program is at least headed in the right direction.

The ceaseless activity of their own inherent nature makes these stages moments of an organic unity, where they not merely do not contradict one another, but where one is as necessary as the other; and constitutes thereby the life of the whole.

But buds will be roses, and kittens, cats - more's the pity.
