Berry Quotes

Afford Quotes
We have some extra numbers in positions where we can afford the opportunity to look at some of the European players in this game and rest some of the domestic players. An example of that would be Eddie Pope and Jim Conrad. Based on play over the past month and a half, they would be included in this roster if we were simply basing it on performances. But we have guys we need to look at now.

Coming Quotes

Across Quotes
With decades of experience in network management, Sean, Gary and Jim are intimately familiar with the old way of thinking: a secure network equals a secure environment. That approach simply won't get the job done in a world where 70 percent of the vulnerabilities reside in the applications running across those networks. These executives work extremely well together and provide an outstanding balance of industry knowledge, business and sales expertise. They are helping Security Innovation break new ground in the market, extend our offerings more broadly and fuel our steady upward momentum.

Affords Quotes

Defense Quotes
You have to have something a little wrong with you to play defense. You're going in there knowing you are going to have to hit somebody. So you do have to have the mind-set to want to do it. I think we have taken that mind-set to a different level. We understand exactly what Jim wants from us. I think we're trying to take this thing to another level. We are trying to be one of the best, if not the best, defense to play for this organization.

Ball Quotes
At that time we didn't really have the talent to be able to line up and compete with many teams. Stanford had recently had some success throwing the ball with Jim Plunkett (1970 Heisman Trophy winner) at quarterback. I figured with most defenses built to focus on stopping the run, we would try and pass the ball. Once we became successful and began to recruit better players, I just decided to stick with the offense.

Absolutely Quotes
The top players are playing better. Mike Weir , Jim Furyk , Ernie Els , Vijay Singh, myself... Phil Mickelson and David Duval were the exceptions, but overall, most of the guys you'd expect to challenge Tiger stepped up and challenged him. Were there classic duels with Tiger down the stretch this year? No, not really. Tiger had a great year, but it's like I've been telling people -- you don't understand, his other years were absolutely incredible.

Artistic Quotes
I've told Jim that our commitment to him is for as long as he was alive, which I hope is a long time. We want Jimmy to conduct as much as he is able and willing to do so here. I think the Met is the luckiest opera house in the world to have him as its music director and I hope that he will be at the center of its artistic life for the foreseeable future. It would be a terrible blow for me and my plans if he was not here.
