Sam Quotations | Page 4

I think we made the determination late in the season. There's an old expression: Rough seas make a great sea captain. I think we got to see the best of Sam in a very difficult time, and frankly, I was very impressed the way he handled the club on the field and in the clubhouse.

In the 1980s, in the communist Eastern Germany, if you owned a typewriter, you had to register it with the government. You had to register a sample sheet of text out of the typewriter. And this was done so the government could track where text was coming from.

I have informed Sam I am taking up the option on the second year of his contract. There is still a big room for improvement, but he has pace, he has confidence and he will definitely be an asset to the club.

I think Sam was a bit awe-struck at the start of the game, but he settled down well. He settled down well when we drew some plays up for him, and he stepped up.

I think Sam is a closer, which is what we could have used right now. Sam could do that. The results are Sam is probably having a better year than Marko is having.

I think Sam Faber showed today why to my money she's the best freshman maybe in the country. Certainly she's the best freshman in our league. She's got some of the best moves you will ever see. The kids tease her all the time. She waits until she's checked the goalie like 18 times and she's had the open net for about a half-hour before she finally shoots it in." ()

It doesn't surprise me. That's the type of person Sam is.

It doesn't surprise me at all that they have samples, ... Clearly they've tested all of my samples since then to the highest degree. But when I gave those samples, there was not EPO in those samples. I guarantee that.

I tell them if they think they can make it, go for it. You either have to be aggressive or wait for the next batter to get a hit, and Sam saw her opportunity and went for it.

Whether or not her death was because of bird flu, we will wait before confirming, as is standard, from a laboratory in Hong Kong where her blood samples were sent to. The results would be known in about six days.
