Bumps Quotations | Page 2

The track is technical and quick, with enough bumps and high rumbles to keep your attention throughout the entire course. Without the stadium turns, we'll all enter the main straight much more quickly and have another series of bumps to deal with.

I started to get goose bumps and a little misty-eyed. I guess it's starting to sink in that this is it. This is my last race.

I ski as fast as he does, but he goes on the bumps all the time and my knees can't take that.

We've got guys who are hungry and selfless, and we've got the right mix. We're going to grow up a lot this season. We'll take our fair share of bumps in the road, but we're going to get better.

I have certainly made mistakes in the past by not being more assertive when bumps in the road appeared. Larry, Theo and other managers in the organization do not need me in order to excel at what they do, but I have a responsibility to ensure that divergent views and our overall direction lead to a better and stronger organization. We've averaged winning more than 95 games a year since we purchased the club. We've listened to the fans and improved the fan experience greatly. We have provided excitement during the season as well as the off-season.

You are young and have the world before you; stoop as you go through it, and you will miss many hard bumps.

It's a bit disingenuous to tell somebody in the middle of June that one of the reasons they purchased the club was the organization and the roster and everything that had been put in place. Then, when they get to be 1-4 and have a few bumps in the road, say the former owner was at fault. I don't want to get into a kicking match with Mr. Wilf. I never have kicked him, and I would appreciate it if he didn't kick me." ()

Every 20 minutes you've got to have a bump, you've got to have a change in course, you've got to unsettle the audience. It can't be too predictable so something has to happen. I think that was something that Hitchcock did very well too. You couldn't let an audience feel too settled in.

We took our bumps early. Some games when you're down, you're like, 'Uh, oh,' you get nervous. I don't know about the rest of the team, but I felt like I just knew we were going to win.
