Monday Quotations | Page 4

We are going to open up Monday at 7 a.m. and we are going to stay open until 12 p.m. Tuesday. After that, we are going to reopen Wednesday at 7 a.m. and have our grand opening just as we had planned and stay open for 24 hours.

Kathy Cikanek took time from her day to take a group of adults to Tabernacle on Monday to enroll all those children who were planning on attending classes in Ennis. Her efforts and those of the group made for a much smoother transition.

Just one game. Just one game, that's all I'm going to miss. It's been bothering me two weeks already but last game (on Monday against Portland) was the worst.

I talked with Mark on Monday and he said he was fine.

I talked to the team about building on the Indiana win. We didn't do that (after) the Illinois win. I tried to get them to under one win can lead to another win, and we'll work hard Monday to understand that this win could lead to another win.

I think it's an advantage for us to have to play a Monday night game, because it gives us two wins in a row, big wins, that really have everyone in that locker room feeling pretty confident about their ability to shoot the basketball and our ability to play at a high level.

It is a holiday on Monday (in the United States), so I'm sure some guys are squaring their positions for the weekend.

I thought he'd be hitting balls Monday morning at the golf course, because it's a tough course to finish on and it's a major championship. If anything, just him being there at the clubhouse and being seen might have affected the way they played on Monday.

I think you'll probably see an extension of this rally next week, barring any surprises over the weekend and assuming the ISM number Monday is positive.

I think you have to earn that right in this league. You get showcased in this league for those reasons. We want to get this football team playing that well where we're getting opportunities to play on Monday Night Football and those type of things. We want to earn our keep and we hope to be in those games soon.

I think (the break) had something to do with us starting off flat. We did have practices during the week off, but Monday was the first full practice because we had the whole team there.

I think the European finance ministers had an opportunity on Monday to scare off bullish euro investors by threatening intervention or rate cuts to undo euro strength. They missed that opportunity.

I think the announcement Monday was a good thing because it showed it had gotten to a resolution. It was really traumatic for everyone and given guys perspective of how delicate and special your career is. You realize you're really fortunate to have this kind of life.

It is going to be fearfully close. On Monday night the gap between Seven and Nine was just 8000 people.

I thought they might go to Monday but obviously, we'll have to do it over 54 holes. It's a shame as I would have liked to play four rounds. Just one of those things. We'll just start again really. I've been pleased with the way I'm playing for a while now, so the form is quite good.

I think we'll be able to sort it out, ... Don't forget, we have an opportunity to play on Monday Night football, and that's a great opportunity for us, as well as for the Saints. We'll put ourselves in the right frame of mind for Monday night.

I think what happened yesterday and Monday was a wake-up call for investors,

I think by Monday things will be a lot clearer to everyone.

I think A lot of small businesses can go home on Friday night and come back to work on Monday and worry about it then, and a lot of large companies can't.

I think both sides better get prepared where there is no deal, ... I told our staff Monday that's what we have to communicate to the players -- what direction we're going -- and right now it looks like an uncapped year. We can't accept what they have on the table.

I think it's worth it. We can't afford to be missing an opportunity to play on national television on a Monday night.

I think today was another reminder for our team that we can be as good as we were on Monday but when we're not all on the same page and not properly focused where we need to be, we can be just like anyone else. I'm hoping that games like this remind us, because once you get into the NCAA Tournament, you play a game like this, you're going to go home.

I think that sparked something for us. We had been doing it all year, hitting hard, playing tough, playing physical, but I think being on that big Monday Night Football stage and playing a physical team like the Steelers made people notice.

It is important that there is full unity of intent and that next Monday we shall be able to enter definitively into a new phase, entirely dedicated to sport.

I went to bed last night thinking we were going to pitch Wilson (Barr). Then, I thought, ?Let's give Tyler a shot and see what he can do.' Plus, we've got games on Monday and Tuesday. The first inning you could tell that Tyler had a few nerves. Then, he settled down. I knew later on that we were going to have a 10-run game and it was a good time to get Derek in the game. He looks like he's got stuff that will work.

I will be contacting him on Monday to open discussions on those challenges.

I will place the public procurement policy (PPP) in the cabinet Monday next for making it into an act. I will also try to place a draft micro-credit regulatory framework in the cabinet for making it as an act on the same day.

I think they're treading on sacred ground. It's just not a football thing, either. You have girls' basketball going on, cross country, golf and soccer. Communities celebrate that, especially in the smaller ones. There's no room for college athletics Monday through Thursday. I know where (fans') loyalties will lie. They'll lie with the younger kids.

I think the secret is, no matter how good you are Saturday night, on Monday morning you start with a blank page,

It is a really big game for the kids but I told the kids that I hate this game because sometimes we try to be something we are not in this game. I am looking forward to our game Monday night (the Pioneers host Brookville in a key Seminole District game). That is the big one. That's the one where everything is on the line for us.

It is a massive opportunity for Scott and we cannot stand in his way. He will go down to train with them on Monday and we will see what happens.

Japanese stocks surged for two straight days until Monday so (now the) market is pushed down by profit-taking (after) US shares declined.

Our intent is to have an interim city manager and Ward 5 councilor sworn in on Monday night. My seven days will be up Saturday, so we will actually not have a city manager on Monday, but, hopefully, we'll have one Tuesday morning and it will be business as usual.

Our systems are all go, ... At 9:30 Monday morning trading will resume on both markets, and the message will be given to criminals who foisted this on America that they lost.

Our summer was a bit slower than normal, but after Monday and Tuesday of last week, we're not really down at all.

Overall I think we're gaining confidence. We still have a rough road ahead, we have these guys again Wednesday and South-Doyle on Monday but I see us playing with more confidence and enthusiasm.

Renee had her head screwed on straight these last couple of games and I think that's really important going into the NCAA tournament. I know as a freshman, I started to hit my peak going into the NCAA tournament and it gave me a great amount of confidence going into it. Hopefully she can keep this momentum. We're really going to need her down there on Monday to have her composure like she's been having these last few games.

Reece worked a little bit today on the side, and his arm feels real good. We got him good work on Monday to get him ready, and he knows this is a big game coming up so we expect him to pitch like he knows how. He'll be up against a good, hard-throwing arm with whoever Benton goes with, but we've got confidence in our guy.

Our numbers are down this year. We used to get around 350 players but this year we only had 96 players that signed up. That's partly because some had to work and also a lot of our youth leave each year. We also lost a lot of our women to Monday night women's hockey.

Our Monday protest will have more people joining from the provinces.

Optimistically, we're hoping he'll be back in the lineup Tuesday, ... Today is Saturday. Hopefully he'll feel good tomorrow and be able to do something, see how it feels on Monday and play Tuesday.

People in Hawaii have a built-in twinkle in their eye, and bring a sense of play and ohana to their work. When you leave work for the weekend in Boise, Idaho or Delaware, Maryland, you don't see your coworkers again until Monday -- that's not true of Hawaii, which has the most bowling and softball leagues of any state in the union.

That could definitely happen. It could be this Monday night.

That actually works well but we'll try to keep the rest the same. They had Sunday and Monday off and now we'll work hard through this week. Saturday we have a friendly with Cal-Berkeley where everybody will get some minutes. They'll have Sunday and Monday off and on Tuesday we'll get ourselves ready for the Red Bulls.

My mom lived off the canal of a river, ... It looked like a bomb went off. I never thought it was going to be that bad. I stayed the night (in Texas), then Monday morning after the storm had gone more up north, we went back thinking it was okay. It took us a long time because of all the traffic that was leaving. Normally, it would take an hour, but it took six hours because of all the evacuees. It took a good 11 or 12 hours to get to Texas, and it usually only takes five.

Marlon has got his reward for his work. He has to play at 100 percent. He did on Monday and he did today and got his goals and that isn't luck that's just him working to his maximum.

Mark underwent surgery after a scan on Monday night and further assessment yesterday. He will miss the France game, but should make a speedy recovery.

Mark Lemon and I were special constables on Monday last. You would have laughed to see us on duty, trying the area gates, etc.

Like last year, we have a very challenging start to the season with three of the first four games against playoff teams. We are especially pleased to have two Monday night home games.

I will undergo another medical examination on Monday and Tuesday, that will give further evidence of how severe the injury of my knee is. By then, it will also be clear, how much treatment will be required and how long it would take me to be fully restored again. Depending on this, we will find out a new date for my fight, and I will start to renew my preparation as soon as possible.

I was trying to check my e-mail Monday afternoon and I couldn't get into my computer, ... The computer would shut down, turn on, shut down and turn on. It didn't do any damage, but it was a terrible nuisance and I was frustrated.

I was very interested in seeing that change take place. Over the last 30-odd years that we've had Monday Night Football , the culture has changed in America. Monday night is not the same kind of night that it was in the '70s and '80s. People aren't at home. Sunday night is really when you find most people at home.

I think everybody knows that we have this Monday deadline that I think helps a little bit. But we have been working diligently in the last week to try to get something done. And we have tried to approach this since last summer. And there was a very strong drive on both sides to compromise and to be as reasonable as we could to try to get it done. He (Westbrook) clearly wanted to be here. We clearly wanted him to be here. The system is perfect for him and he is perfect for the system. So in the end we were able to get it done.

It doesn't bother him at all to pitch. His arm is feeling great. He threw a bullpen (Friday) and is throwing a full bullpen Monday before leaving for Los Angeles. It's going to be a minor setback.

I think Michael Owen will play against Northern Ireland, although he hasn't played much football this season, so we will see on Monday and Tuesday in practice.

John Madden said they should have the Monday night game here three times a year.

John Madden is under contract for the 2005-2006 season and we'll see where it goes from there, ... But let's not forget that Madden is a part of the ESPN family with Monday Night Football. ... It's possible we'll continue working with John longer term.

Maybe if we could have put them away, he wouldn't have come back. We made a mess of this, and we took two big punches on Monday and Tuesday. But we're still standing.

Management is basically going home on Friday and coming in to work on Monday in the same job with the same responsibilities. I can't imagine how any self-respecting director would agree to an arrangement like that . . . In Calgary, in particular, it seems like it's just a standard thing to do. When there's a corporate development of any kind, management just put a lot of money in their pockets in the process, regardless of whether they created value or not.

We've talked to Michael, who explained the situation to us the way he did to the AP, and we will continue to talk with Michael, ... But you can expect to see him on Monday Night Countdown on Monday evening.

I do my podcast on Mondays for a specific reason. A lot of people go to work and don't like their jobs. If you give people something to laugh about, it's good.

If you want to understand a society, take a good look at the drugs it uses. And what can this tell you about American culture? Well, look at the drugs we use. Except for pharmaceutical poison, there are essentially only two drugs that Western civilization tolerates: Caffeine from Monday to Friday to energize you enough to make you a productive member of society, and alcohol from Friday to Monday to keep you too stupid to figure out the prison that you are living in.

The arguement in the O'Reilly injunction suit is postponed until the 3rd Monday in Oct. to give time to learn the grounds of the Kentucky decision.

That will be the third time we'll have bowled each other this week. We're in the same league Monday and Wednesday nights and, oddly, our teams were scheduled against each other both nights. He kicked our butts Monday night, so I'll have to try to get him back. But he's a great bowler.

That was probably the best and worst weekend of the year. We broke ground and then Dick had his stroke the Monday morning following. When you talk about highs and lows, that was kind of a microcosm.

I was born at 3:05 on Monday morning.

I wasn't planning on doing that, but something said 'flip,' and I flipped, ... It wasn't a good thing to do, and it cost us. I'll apologize to the whole team Monday and take whatever punishment the coach has to give me.

I wasn't concerned that they wouldn't come out ready. The only concern I had, and it's kind of like the feeling I have now, I loved the victory, but it's not the feeling I had Monday night against Valley Christian. That was an emotional game, that was a war.

Most of our plants will likely be in operation on Monday ... to meet the needs of our customers. A small percentage may not operate because of factors such as market conditions that permit scheduling changes and the potential shortage of workers.

Michael's presence in Naples adds to an already impressive field of tennis greats playing to reach the Monday night title match.

Michael saw his specialist on Monday and had a good look at his latest X-rays. He is happy at what he has seen and heard and now it's full steam ahead for him. Things are going well for Michael and he is perhaps a week ahead of where we always thought he would be after his injury.

Whoever wins Monday night, ... everything else is forgotten.

You can find him guilty on Monday and not guilty on Tuesday.

You just learn these lessons and hopefully you only learn them once. I only want to learn the lesson last Monday just once. The key is just staying within yourself. I just have to trust my stuff.

We feel good about the whole thing. Other than a bad last shot (in Monday night's 4-3 loss to Finland), we're 3-0 rather than 2-1.

We were two possessions away for almost the whole second half, but I don't want to start that moral victory stuff. Now, we have to get ready to play Syracuse Monday night.

We'll be ready to play whether it's Monday or Saturday. We're still at home, so that's cool.

We'll be ready to go on free agency Monday morning.

We put him through a couple extensive workouts and he handle it very well. This is the first time he's kicked two days in a row. We feel good about him. We feel he'll be OK for Monday night.

We put an emphasis on rebounding Monday and Tuesday in practice. I thought we played our first-shot defense very well. But a lot of loose balls and rebounds that we needed to come up with to finish the defensive possession, we didn't get.

We hope that the management bargaining team is spending the weekend preparing a better offer for us. We look forward to seeing it Monday morning.

With all the injuries, we had to shuffle some kids around and play some both ways. We'll just have to go back to the drawing board Monday and see what we can come up with.

We have to regroup and get ready for tomorrow. More importantly we have to get ready for our division game Monday against Columbus.

We're a family at ESPN. For me, to take this property and move it to Monday night is a great honor.

We're a lot of positive short- and long-term momentum that began on Monday when oil broke through a key technical level, ... The EIA report helped draw attention to this.

We can't worry about who they have playing or who they don't have playing or where they're getting their emotional lift. This is Monday Night Football. This is a huge game where everybody is watching. If you can't come out with the intensity you need to play, you don't have a pulse.

We played three great quarters and forgot to finish the fourth quarter, and on Monday we turned in our uniforms.

We played pretty well -- compared to Monday we played a lot better. We hit the ball pretty well -- going inside-out and going the opposite direction and we only had two errors and that was a fresh change from Monday.

We'll try to do a little bit of running on Monday and see how it feels. It's better than I thought it would be.

We had half the team gone Monday and Tuesday.

We had a lot of catch-up to do because on Monday Nortel was up and was one of the most actives on New York,

We had two terrible practices Monday and Tuesday, so I was really worried about tonight.

We've got some good basketball left in us we haven't played yet. There's a lot that still has to come together for us and hopefully it will be Monday night.

We've learned from the police that starting Monday at 8 a.m., New Orleans gun owners can get their firearms back.

Wait for Monday for what? We're acting on information that we believe - that there are likely to be supply disruptions.

We have always said we wanted inclusive negotiating, but I understand formal complaints will be issued on Monday morning, and these will have to be discussed and dealt with,

We need to have dealt with this by Monday because we don't want to be put in that predicament.

We can still prepare the draft without the Sunnis. All the groups elected in the national assembly can come together and prepare the draft by Monday evening.

We came out focused and determined Monday night. I feel like we came out an attacked.

We had our best two practices of the year on Monday and Tuesday. I think the kids hopefully understand the sense or urgency we have now. We just (have) to get better every day.
