The worst thing that will probably happen-in fact is already well underway-is not energy depletion, economic collapse, conventional war, or the expansion of totalitarian governments. As terrible as these catastrophes would be for us, they can be repaired in a few generations. The one process now going on that will take millions of years to correct is loss of genetic and species diversity by the destruction of natural habitats. This is the folly our descendants are least likely to forgive us.

not a great worker or anything like that. They didn't feel like they were losing anything by getting rid of him.

Yes, we could lose money, despite the sharing of TV money and all the audio stuff. Don't believe everything the PR machine at the league office puts out.

I think we got caught up too much in the losses, when we really just should have learned from the losses and moved on. Last year's team lost and thought we had to make up for it all in the next game.

This is big for these girls. They worked hard, and I tried to make them aware of how close they were last year ... and they really wanted to do well, so I didn't think the nine days we had off hurt us from that perspective because they were really ready to play.

It'd be interesting to see if in fact the United States really is closing in on him. I wouldn't be surprised. It looks to me like some of the cells surrounding him and protecting him may be breaking down.

Our losing streak ended, so hopefully the Leafs' will end theirs (tonight).

Our operation is successful; our business plan is successful. We're not closed yet, but it could happen. Our position is a little tenuous right now.

If we really do get a president like Mackenzie Allen who is very tough without losing (her sense of) who she is, that's the kind of woman we want.

If we had lost tonight, it's basically like Pin the Tail on the Donkey, when there's one kid left and you know he's going to hit the spot. You don't want to get to that point. It's always nice to beat a great ballclub.

I can tell you very candidly that the loss in Miami was a crusher for me.

Our goal is certainly not to hurt anyone else, and we hope to come to an agreement that will be a win for both parties. There might have been some minor name changes in the past, but I'm not aware of anyone who has had to close their doors because of it.

You lose that edge. You lose that sharpness. That's the thing I'm trying to find. It's not like I'm going to keep on doing it until I find it. The more I pitch, the more it's going to come. It's what these guys did in Spring Training.
