Chad Quotations | Page 2

I started calling around, and everybody told me about this kid Chad Campbell in Texas. They said he was the best player in junior college. I'd never seen him, but so many people spoke so highly of him, I called him and offered him a scholarship sight unseen.

I've been real pleased with our catching this season. Damian has given us a little more pop, and Chad hit better after a bad start. Both do great jobs behind the plate.

The signing of Chad is outstanding because he sets the tone for our football team and the guys up front. His knowledge of the game and the effort with which he plays are unparalleled.

I've always thought that if you love something, that's what you should do, and, Lord knows, Chad loves it.

Ryan and Chad are playing as good as anyone in the area right now. They're hitting for average, scoring runs and driving in runs. When they're on, we have a chance to win.

Personally, I'd rather be upstairs. I can see better. I can see more things ... Chad said he'd be more comfortable if I came down, so I told him come December, you better be playing good because I don't freeze my butt off for no good reason.

Our expectations were pretty high. Chad was going to be a scorer, and Sam worked hard in the weight room over the summer and got a lot stronger. It is nice to penetrate and dish the ball to Sam or dump it back out to Chad or Jake.

Offensively he's very good and defensively he's continuing to improve on a daily basis. Chad is a person who has no quit in him.

The most important and urgent appeal we have to make is for an immediate cease-fire. Initial reports from the cease-fire talks being held in N'Djamena in Chad are not very encouraging.

During our annual Christmas dinner, we put together eight Christmas food baskets. We donated them to the Church of God Shalom on Chad Brown to be distributed in the surrounding community.

Defensively we played a very strong game. Chad Russo cleared a ball off the goal line. We are tough to score on right now. We are in a week where we can be competitive.

Anytime you change offenses on a guy, that's tough, ... Chad doesn't want anyone to feel sorry for him. He understands what's going on. At the end of the day, he's going to be a very good quarterback in this league. He's going to win a lot. And he's won. He's won a lot of games here already. He's going to get better and we're going to get better as a team. That's my belief.

Anything that happens in Chad or affects it has repercussions for Central African Republic.

As coaches at Palma, we've always felt that Chad had tremendous Division I talent, ... But he's not your prototype 6-3 quarterback. And we don't put the ball in the air a lot here. It was a matter of convincing coaches he could play.

That's Mo. He's kind of like our answer to Chad Cordero.

They took Chad away. They didn't think T.J. could beat them. He took every one of their corners out of the game.

They (the Tigers) came out and tried to slow down the game. We struggled to get the ball in the hole early, but we picked up the pressure and Chad got us going in the third quarter.

A lot of people don't like to lose. Chad doesn't accept it. He goes to work and doesn't let it happen again. He doesn't like to be shown up. He has a level of competitiveness inside of him that I've never seen inside anyone else, except maybe Michael Jordan.

They're going to be very hostile come Saturday. Alabama fans would like nothing better than for him to come in here and fall flat on his face. People take it extremely personally when a player like Chad Jackson leaves the state.

A big play in the game was when Chad got hit. It looked to me, well, it certainly was a big play there.

It's a tough situation without Chad, but it's asked every member of the team to step up and take on more responsibilities and to deal with different things. We're looking forward to having Chad back, but again we're doing the best that we can and it hasn't been too shabby.

It's a play we've run many times before. Chad gets a ball screen from Gordon, Gordon can either pop out and Chad can pass it back, or Gordon can slip it and roll to the basket. And Gordon chose to slip and roll.

It's a place I grew up watching games at and aspiring to play at so I think when I come here I got an extra little boost. My family's here. I don't know if that has anything to do with it but I think I am just fortunate to get the chances. It is just a great feeling to come to play here. It was a great effort by Chad (Barrett) and he deserves a lot of credit on my goal.

Forced recruitment of refugees, especially of minors, who came to Chad to seek asylum is totally unacceptable.

It's going to be quite a loss not to have Chad here, but he's done a great job of training us all and hopefully we can be out on the track and perform as if he were here.

It's good that Chad is staying. He's a definite leader and a positive person to have on a team in terms of a role model for younger players, how to carry yourself, how to play the game, how to approach the game. I'm glad he's going to be around.

It's hard to play here with a lead. Although, Chad is a great, great player.

It's been a tough week for us. I wish Chad was here, I know he is kicking the TV set in right now, so bummed out. His hard work got this team to where it is.

That means a lot for a guy like Chad to say that about me, ... He's one of the best. Right now, his team's playing well, and everything's looking good for him.

It's something we've been working on for over a year, and Chad has been very patient and went about this the right way. There was nothing negative, he never missed any time.

The biggest difference between us is that I could leave it a the gym, win or lose. I didn't take it home with me. Chad hasn't learned to do that.

I've written more songs than ever before on this record. (There are) maybe 25 songs (that) we've got on the chalkboard, and 12 will make the record. It's funk, rock, soul, and pop all mixed together in a big soup. I'm probably going to have some real strings and maybe some more orchestrated songs. This one, and I'll quote Chad here, is going to be the most varied record I've ever done.

They have tremendous chemistry, especially on the downfield stuff. You'll see: Chad will take a little off the throw and give Laveranues a chance to jump for it, and he's going to make that play 10 times out of 10.

Anyone that is preparing for them recognizes that Chad Johnson is one of the better receivers in the National Football League.

Anytime you change offenses on a guy, that's tough. Chad doesn't want anyone to feel sorry for him. He understands what's going on. At the end of the day, he's going to be a very good quarterback in this league. He's going to win a lot. And he's won. He's won a lot of games here already. He's going to get better and we're going to get better as a team. That's my belief.

Anytime you can win all three relays, that's big-time for a team. We had some seniors like Chad Faulkner and Brent Phillips leading us.

Anytime you can win a close ball game, you've got to feel good. Chad didn't have his best stuff, but he battled.

Any time you have Chad in the game, it's very exciting. For me, it really wasn't the TD, it was getting that first pass from him ... It's great to be back.

Anytime you have Chad in the game it's exciting. For me, it really wasn't the TD it was getting that first pass from him.

I'm going to bounce back and prove to everybody what I can do. You may beat Chad Hedrick once, but you're not going to beat him twice.

I'm a dirty kid: I like to be outside, I like to run about, I like to get messy. So I spent a lot of time outside as a kid, skating and just being a disaster. I was obsessed with Dogtown - I still am obsessed with Dogtown, the Z-Boys. I love Stacy Peralta and Jay Adams and Andrew Reynolds, all these guys. I used to think I was Chad Muska.

I'm not a team player. The team pursuit was the race before the 1000 meters, so it's silly. People do what's best for them. I had the opportunity to win the 1,000 meters and I was focused on that. You have to ask Chad Hedrick if he would have run the team pursuit if it was the day before the 5,000 meters.

I know right now that Chad is probably kicking his TV in back home (in Charlotte, N.C.).

I knew we were in good shape once we got going on a long run, ... Chad said four was going to be better, and it worked out.

I knew what made him tick. Most people, when they get mad, they don't perform as well. Chad is the exception to that. It motivates him.

I just want to thank Chad for building this team the way he has. This job is very hard. Chad has always done a great job and he has trained me very well.

I'm optimistic. I've kind of talked to him, but I'm waiting to visit with Chad when he gets here, sit down with doc and round-table with those guys. I rather talk to Chad face to face then through the phone.

I'm working on a De Niro film right now called The Good Shepherd and I'm also working on a film directed by Chad Lowe called Beautiful Ohio.

I'm not sure they're at our level, and I'm saying that because of what we had. They've got Chad and they've got Rudi. We had Eddie Brown, Tim McGee, Rodney Holman and Cris to stretch the defense. Then I could go into the slot and go downfield. Here, I'm not sure they've got that type of receiver out of backfield to get downfield because I ran routes just like a receiver.

I'll be honest with you. Sure, Chad and I are fighting for the same thing. But it would have been kind of nice after I won the 1,000 if he would have been a good teammate and shook my hand.

If you can get two good pitches by in high school, you're doing pretty good. Chad can get three, so he's doing OK.

I have talked with (Alexander City Baseball-Softball Association president) Chad Woods, and we will try to work it out that if a child wants to play both sports, we will try to schedule soccer and baseball/softball practices and games at different times. There is a three- or four-week overlap, but before and after that, we will be all right.

Chad was playing on a pretty sore thigh and gutted it out.

Chad was Charley Hustle. All over the field on offense and defense.

Chad's leadership is second to none. We really miss that. But then, it's also given us a chance to expand on our roles. We get to grow within our positions, and it makes us a tighter team. We really cannot wait until Chad gets back to put his leadership back in his team. Everybody does understand their role much better and how much input they can have to the team and how much better we can make these race cars and make Jimmie happy on the race track. You can see what Jimmie can do in the last two laps.

Chad showed what wrestling for seven minutes does. He worked hard the whole match and kept wrestling.

Chad played well. He plays well on both of the floor. Jeremy also had a good night on boards.

Chad played a fantastic shot. That was a big turning point for him.

Chad only had four points, but in the fourth quarter, he was aggressive, and he's a hard kid to guard in the open court when he goes to the basket.

Chad not only is not going to send them back but never intended to.

Chad Morris being back helps us tremendously. Not only is he our starting cornerback, he's also one of our backup running backs. He's had a great two days of practice and his conditioning is starting to come back after being off. I think he'll be fine.

Chad makes a great diving play to get Martin a dunk and the crowd really gets into the game and you think we have momentum. I'm frustrated, but we didn't deserve to win that game.

Chad made the comment to me that he's not going to walk so close to the edge. We just want to get on with life. This is not fun for the team. This is not fun for me.

Chad knew the names of every NBA player when he was just a little boy. He's always had a passion for the sport. I think he's always intended to coach.

Chad Kelly came in and gave us good production. He's got some potential. He can definitely contribute.

Chad is very eager to see the international community, in particular the African Union, settle this crisis.

Chad is the type of player that makes everybody around him better. He's a leader and a warrior on this team.

Chad is the other part of the puzzle for us. We expect him to take care of the ball and distribute it. He runs the show.

Chad is such a strong leader. His personality really does it on its own, and that's an area I need to focus on. The guys want me to be a little bit more in that role. And, now, with our latest situation, I'm the senior guy.

Chad is shooting 75 percent on the year and I told him before he shot the third one the odds of him missing was zero. He did, but we did a good job of getting rebounds off of those misses and I am glad we overcame those types of things. You are going to miss free throws from time to time, but we still found a way to win.

Chad is improving a little bit every day, like a lot of our newer players are, ... I don't think he's ever really played this position. But he's a smart guy. He picked it up well and he's a good football player.

Chad is doing a lot of things differently. He's smarter and seeing the field better.

Chad is basically a kid who has all of the material that you need to be a star.

Chad is a very good front-runner. He?s not scared.

Chad is a very competitive kid; I wish we had more like him. Daniel really stepped up his leadership in the second half.

Chad is a real smart ball player. He knows what he can do and he plays hard. For a guy who's about 6-1 he plays 6-7.

Chad hounded me for while out there and I was just sticking to my lines. As the track wore out it just got harder and I knew that it would be harder for Chad to get by me. We got our back against the wall and I'm going to try to win every race from here on out.

Chad hit the ground running and is very excited to be back in Polk County and I am happy to have him in our Warriors program.

Chad Hendrick, who won a gold, a silver, and a bronze, skated in this rink.

Chad has worked very hard and trained many hours, giving up every Wednesday night and every weekend since the ski season started in November.

Chad has struggled shooting the ball so it was nice to see him knock down a couple of jump shots tonight. Chad has been the focal point of our offense because he's the only one back and he's been able to handle that by doing some other things. It was nice to see him get a little confidence back.

Chad has shown that he can play in this league, and that's the most important thing. Any time you go out, at this level, compete and put together the type years Chad has put together, there's nothing left for him to prove to anybody.

Chad has had some versatility throughout his career, so I'm sure that he would be able to do that.

Chad has got to get ahead more (in the count). Chad's going to win a lot of games for us.

Chad has been very generous in accepting the refugees and working with us ... We certainly hope that good cooperation will continue.

Chad has a great arm, and he is very good at reading pitchers. He has worked very hard, and is very baseball mature.

Chad had been working out for the last three weeks. He?s going to win this fight because his overall skill and his youth will take over.

Chad had a tough day. It's great that he got that medal, but I know that he really wanted more. It will give him something to work for next year. No matter how you look at it, he's a two-time medal winner down here and that's a heck of an accomplishment.

Chad had a lot of breaks and he hit the ball in the right spots at the right time. He did everything right and got the the breaks - not the lucky breaks, but the good breaks.

Chad Friend is wrestling pretty well. Schendel (24-1) beat Friend, and Wilder (25-2) beat Schendel. All are in the state rankings, plus (Allen) McClure of Southern Wells is 23-5. It should be a pretty good weight class.

Chad does a lot of the little things out there that we need done. He goes and gets the ball, whether it's coming up with a steal or getting a rebound against bigger players. He had a huge game for us tonight.

Chad didn't throw the ball well last week, and he really didn't throw it good today.

Chad didn't throw the ball great last week, ... and he really didn't throw it that well this week. But we just didn't challenge him.

Chad didn't throw that well last week and he really didn't throw well today. But he got the job done and we really didn't play that well.

Chad did a really nice job in relief and kept us in the game.

Chad did a phenomenal job pitching. Our pitchers are getting stronger as the year goes on and he is part of that. We wanted to work ahead in the count, pound the strike zone and be the aggressor.

Chad did a nice job in the game, he's growing up and getting better and better.

Chad did a great job. He joined the elite ranks of three-time All-Conference wrestlers. He was real aggressive and he hadn't been lately. But he stayed focused all day and I couldn't have been prouder of him.

Chad did a fantastic job. The only bad thing is we can't throw him again until Thursday.

Chad Davis gave us good minutes off the bench, and I thought we rebounded well.
