The kids today have these fresh faces. It's like they're on pins and needles, waiting to see what I'm going to do. They've never seen me. In the 1960s, those were hippies. They were wired up already. The kids today know me because I've worked with Jeff Tweedy and other young producers.

I thought going into the meet that Sibley would be favored at seven weights and I thought we could win seven matches. We did end up doing that.

The pins allow rotation of the bridge at the bearing areas. The need for rotation is mainly derived from the fact that steel expands and contracts with temperature variations. When the temperature warms, the bridge naturally expands, or lengthens longitudinally, and unless it's allowed to do so, undesired stresses are introduced to the structure.

The rough is very deep but it's playable. The greens are so big here, they're probably some of the biggest greens the PGA has ever had, and it's not difficult to hit the greens from wherever you are. To get close to the pins is another factor. The course favors the longer hitters but not that much. I think it's going to favor whoever putts well.

The South Course, you'd better have the ball-striking up there. It's just that some of these pins now, they are so close to the edges, you have to be pretty precise. If you do miss it, you're going to pay the price, and I think good ball strikers are going to do well here.

Tear my heart out, slow roast me over a fire, pull off my eyebrows strand by strand, push pins though my fingernails... do anything to me, anything but a Monday.

That just makes it that much better. To beat the guy that pins you in the second round at state last season ... it's just so much better.

It's not an issue we've had in any shape or form here. I don't want to speculate per se of this becoming a bigger phenomenon, but it would be fair to say that if there were more and more of these coins or pins put in the ice, then it would be something we'd need to make sure there's common sense and it doesn't get out of hand, really in line with all our clean-venue policies.

Any time we go to a track with a new surface, especially a fast 1.5-mile track, everybody sits on pins and needles a little bit. I think it is important we get through it without any issues. If you have issues, then there's a bit of a panic without a whole lot of time to do anything about it.

The countdown has begun but the only people who need to be aware of it are the minority of those with chip and pin cards who are not using their pins and they really need to get ready if they want to be sure of using their card after February 14th. If a cardholder is unsure of their pin they should contact their card company now who will issue a reminder. If a cardholder is finding it difficult to remember their pin they can change it to a more memorable number at any cash machine. And if they find that their card has become locked they should contact their card company who will advise them on how to unlock it.

I made my decision (about an agent) ahead of time so I wouldn't be scrambling for answers at the last minute. Now I'm just doing my rehab. I had surgery to have the pins out last week, and I'm 90 percent already. It's gotten so much better in the last two weeks, it's incredible.

I like starting the game, getting into a flow early. It's like sitting on pins and needles waiting to get into the game off the bench. I've done it for a year and half. It was cool, but I feel more in my element (starting).
