Two gap is not an easy thing and it's not a sexy thing either. But for the hard-nosed guy, it's perfect. For the tougher defensive linemen, this is the defense they want to play in and that's why we've recruited guys like Chris Long.

We've got a lot better players. We've got a lot of players who are doing big things. ... From Cadillac to myself to Chris stepping in there.

Those two guys that they added, Earl Watson and Chris Wilcox , have made a big difference. I sense they're playing with a lot of freedom.

This was a delicate situation. My communication with Chris and Allen should have been better. I take responsibility, I'm the coach.

This was a coming out party for these guys. Kyle Bradshaw took home his first gold medal in his high school career with an overtime thriller against Chris Johnson of Sparks, a guy he's had a long history with.

This was a big win for us having lost all three matches last week. Chris pulled out an important match at number three to give us the momentum going into doubles.

What really sparked us was we ran an option on the right side and Brandon pitched it at the last second and it went to Chris Newman and we thought he was out of bounds, but he turns it up field and goes 50 yards for a touchdown. That gives us momentum and I think the next drive we get down in kicking range and big Joe does a great job with a 37-yard field goal and that really pumps us up.

What people don't see are the great shots Chris made during the week to get to the TV finals.

We knew each other really well. This team is mostly new, but Chris is their leader. He's the key returning player from last year, so he has to start things for them. He did a real good job today.

We knew Chris (Carson) was going to take the shot. We wanted to keep him as far away as we could. He hasn't made a 3-pointer all year.

Throughout the year if Brian didn't score or if Chris didn't score we'd have to manufacture goals somehow. But now we're developing a little more creativity, poise. We're much more dangerous.

To get this win off of a guy the caliber of Chris Carpenter , it's just a huge win for us. We had timely hits and big nights out of J.J. (Hardy), Overbay, and Billy (Hall).

When you pick seven batsmen you expect to win the match. Chris (Gayle) played pretty well, but the team didn't pull together.

What was impressive about Chris (in the spring game) is that he looked like he did all spring -- comfortable, patient, a big guy with the ability to accelerate. But he knows we have other good backs and he's going to have to compete.

What Chris is now is somebody we rely on. Last year he was an X-factor but we didn't have to rely on him because we had other guys. This year we have to depend on Chris a lot more.

We tell Brandon he has one person to beat. We feel there's going to be some kind of blitz or seepage and he has to be able to recognize that and get away from that. When you do that, someone's going to be open in the secondary and Chris was wide open.

We tried to get Jamie in the same deal as Chris Simon (two years ago). I look at (him) as a development type of player - a player who brings some skill to our team.

We just want Chris and his family to be able to stay as long as they want without having to worry.

When it got to a certain point I think the fatigue factor went out the window, because everyone was playing on adrenaline. I know that Chris was exhausted.

We felt Chris has kept well but he hasn't made the runs we had hoped for, ... He's had eight matches on tour without really contributing with the bat.

We expected the game to be slower without him. We thought that they would try to work Chris Webber a little bit.

We are trying to get Chris Williams healthy and he will be a player in the conference soon.

We're going to be in a class room a little bit in Spring Training to get it right. If we don't have it right, we're going to get it right. If it takes me staying after school with Chris to work on things, then that's what we're going to do.

We're very lucky to have Chris on our team. He makes everyone around him better. Playing No. 1 singles isn't easy because you're facing the best competition every day, but he's doing a great job there.

We're very happy to have Chris return to the Red Wings. He's a veteran goaltender who knows what it takes to compete and win championships in a great hockey city like Detroit.

We feel that Chris is not only a tremendous player, but also a terrific leader. For us to have success, Chris is going to have to be a big part of it.

We are very keen that Chris remains at the club and, hopefully, this can be achieved.

We are aware of the situation with Chris Littleton and have conducted our own investigation and are continuing to do so.

We are still trying to land a deal with Beckett. Coming to Boundary Park would be an ideal opportunity for him - last season both he and Chris Killen had a good understanding.

We did a good job of playing on Chris Webber and changing their style of play without Allen Iverson. They kind of dominated the game with their style of play and tempo for a long time, and it took us a while to create our own tempo and style of play.

We didn't know we were being unpredictable with the decision we were making. I just looked at people like Chris Rock and Will Smith, and they had their slots of how they became successful. We did things off the beaten path.

We didn't know a lot about them. We saw them earlier in the year. They pressed a lot. We came out thinking they were going to press. They came out and played a 1-2-2 (zone). Chris knocked down that 3-pointer early. That set the tone for us. I think we got some easy looks out of our zone offense. That got them out of their zone defense late in the first quarter. Then, our man offense worked really good.

We didn't hold the lead and I told our team we should have come away with three points. We closed up shop and then we nearly gave up a goal at the end with Chris Klein. We can't afford to do that.

We dabbled with getting a guy who could maybe be a transition closer until Chris could take over, but we were never really all that serious because we really feel like he's our guy.

Both Chris and Tyler are outstanding, world-class athletes and either would be a great Olympian. We greatly respect Chris for his accomplishments in the sport.

Even in the games Chris didn't play, we just got great leadership from him. In every practice and game he came to play. He was the glue that kept us together.

Besides, here Chris is in her late 40s, so what would all of a sudden come over her and make her get married? Don't ask about me.

Ben (Sheets) threw well, Doug Davis, Chris Capuano, I was pleased with all of our starters. It was a good day.

Everybody Hates Chris is a semi-autobiographical show. We try to get humor out of tough subject matters. It never occurred to me what a 6-year-old would think about the subject of Santa.

Every team that we play is putting their best defender on Chris and they're trying to shut him down. But we've got a lot of guys out there we feel can score. We're also working really hard to get Chris open. I thought he played a pretty heads up game.

Every January, Chris steps away from Nickel Creek to stretch his musical legs.

As soon as the standby light went out on his amp and he hit that first chord, Chris and I just kind of looked at each other.

Down the stretch, when we needed those two guys to score the points, that's what they did. We got into the penalty and Allen continued to drive the ball, and Chris had wide-open jump shots because Allen continued to drive the ball, and that's what those guys have to do late in the fourth quarter.

Craig is a natural goalscorer and very rarely misses in and around the box. He is entitled to be knocking on the manager's door and asking to play. I was the same when I first came here and came off the bench to score a few times. It didn't matter to me that Henrik Larsson and Chris Sutton were the strikers, I was banging on Martin O'Neill's door and telling him I wanted to play.

Angelo and Chris called the team back behind the dugout. I don't know what they talked about or what was said. We lost, 2-1, but when they came back you could tell how much everyone wanted to win.

And when you put him together with Michael Clayton and Alex Smith and Barrett Ruud and Dan Buenning and rookie tackle Chris Colmer, well, you feel you've got guys who can help you turn things around here.

Earlier this week, after a number of phone conversations between Chris and I, in which I requested to meet with him, a meeting was scheduled with Chris and the rest of the Red Wings on Thursday in Detroit. In addition, I have e-mailed and phoned Trent on a number of occasions, and he has chosen not to respond to me to discuss any concerns that he has.

Especially smaller sports like baseball with coach Chris Wells and basketball with Greg Elliott, where you have like 15 guys, they are brutal. They know all the kids' teachers.

Eugene Levy came into the office with "A Mighty Wind" - that song - with the lyric complete, but the melody wasn't quite there yet, and he and Chris and I worked on the tune - and that's how that one became a three-person song rather than a one-person song. It's a different process every time.

Eugene Levy came into the office with ""A Mighty Wind"" - that song - with the lyric complete, but the melody wasn't quite there yet, and he and Chris and I worked on the tune - and that's how that one became a three-person song rather than a one-person song. It's a different process every time.

Following in a long line of teammates who have made an instant impact upon their arrival as a rookie, Chris surpassed everyone's expectations but his own.

First, I wanted to be Chris Farley. When I was growing up, Chris Farley was still on the stages and fun to us. In my house, John Belushi was king. I didn't grow up when he was - I was born in '78 - the reruns of Belushi in 'Animal House,' and knowing he was at Second City, he was viewed as a king in my house.

There was a big controversy... people were saying... Chris Jericho treated me really well in the dressing room, he said, 'You were the first guy to ever do that.' No, I was the first guy to steal it from Tiger Mask. I don't want credit for doing things that I didn't do.

There's no way I expected Chris to go in there and grab five rebounds in three minutes in the first half. He just goes in there and knocks people around....He's a horse, and he's excited to play.

Is that someone like Mike Weir or Chris DiMarco, is that what you're asking me?

I spoke to Rob Blake , Chris Pronger , Chris Chelios and Brendan Shanahan last night, I think we all had the same issues about the process. Our whole point was that things weren't done right.

I should have listened to Chris (Lane) today because he told me what to do. I fished all new water and couldn't get them to bite.

I've been involved in a lot of start-ups, a lot of new businesses, and I've never sees a prospect like the one Chris White has developed.

It would have been easy to establish paternity, but because he didn't, now Chris is likely going to suffer the consequences.

The women's basketball team needs a change. Chris convinced our committee that positive change can come from within. I saw real progress under Chris' leadership. There was a renewed enthusiasm and intensity, including victories in five of the last six games.

I've never seen Chris not finish all his reps in the weight room. But he showed us this summer there's wasn't a doubt. He's the head guy. He always finds a way to get the job done.

It was very important to give them the wind first. That way we knew in the second half we could take advantage of the wind and we did. Also, Chris Tidwell did a great job out there. He made some great saves that had my heart beating (fast) for a couple seconds.

The team still comes before me. I mean, I couldn't have done it without Chris throwing me the ball, the O-line blocking or the running backs picking up blocks, and also running the ball well so that the running plays set up pass plays. So, the team still comes before me.

I've always liked artists like Chris Burden, who would take performances, put them in galleries, and then do things that were on the edge.

I've always been a big fan of 'Law & Order: SVU.' I think Mariska Hargitay and Chris Meloni are just incredible.

Teaming Chris with Ed Farmer will give our listeners great insight to the pitcher-hitter battle, in-depth understanding of game strategy and planning, and will bring every White Sox game to life for our listeners.

Quite often tall people, they're not always as well-coordinated, as athletic, and Chris is one of those fortunate people, not only is he big but he's well coordinated, ... He's a very good athlete, he's quick on his feet and he can move. He's obviously good with high balls, with balls in the air, but he's also very, very quick at getting down for low balls.

Our defense was terrific. They didn't get many shots through and when they did, Chris was outstanding. He played with confidence and handled the rebounds really well. It was just a good overall performance.

People tell me, 'You better lose weight if you want to run for mayor.' I said, 'I got the Chris Christie look.'

The one thing that kept coming up about Chris is his competitive nature. It kept coming up over and over again: This is a guy than can help win hockey games.

After long and serious deliberation, the men's basketball staff has dismissed Chris Rodgers, effective immediately, from the team. It should be noted that Chris has earned his college degree in three and a half years and that we wish him much success in all future endeavors.

A couple people are absent that I love like Cosby and Seinfeld are not there, for obvious reasons, and Chris Rock doesn't tell the joke.

A couple of opportunities early in the game, I think that would have made a difference for us. I think Chris Albright's opportunity which Garlick saves, psychologically was a big boost for them, and then for us to take the own goal in the first half.

St. Paul is still a Democratic town, and Chris Coleman is getting the political benefits from a lot of left-of-center voters who are out for Randy Kelly's head.

Once the puck started rolling our way, once Chris got the those three goals, everyone was kind of chirping up on the bench. But then we realized we had to get back to business.

Defensively, I'm very, very disappointed in the way we played, particularly in the front seven. I don't think we played well at all up there. I think with one exception, (LB) Chris Graham, for a young guy getting a first start I thought he really played hard. He made a lot of plays. We're just not where we need to be. We need to play harder. We need to play more physical. That is our intent. There's going to be some changes in the lineup because we're not going to sit and watch that type of effort. We need to play harder, we need to play tougher.

Defense and rebounding were the keys. We did a great job of rebounding in the second half. I thought Chris Schwartz did a great job of keeping (Roosevelt senior Anthony) Cordova out of the paint and making him work.

Coach Meyer has stressed taking care of the football to all of us. Chris is really taking care of it.

Coach L is a teacher who teaches life to these guys. There's definite respect. He knows what he is talking about. He has more confidence in Chris than Chris has in himself. That means a lot to me.

Cochlear has world-class technology and with the new management in there they are delivering on that potential. The turnaround under Chris Roberts has been very strong.

Coaches are just making a conscious effort to get him the ball. It's just Chris being Chris. Chris has always been a scorer. And any time a guy has it going on, we are going to get him the ball. And he's been hot, so we are going to ride him out.

As far as R&B, I listen to a lot of old school like the Temptations and Chris Brown.

As an overall football player, Chris Costello is our best player.

As an offense, we need to stay together. This is the time when Chris needs us, and we need Chris.

As a captain me, Sean and Chris had been on the team since we were freshmen so we knew the role we had to play as leaders on the team. If things were down, we had to pull the rest of the team out of the troubles. Knowing we had been there for four years we were used to the practices, going to the tournament and the difference between playing against rivals.

The bunting side of the game hasn't been the easiest thing for Chris and he's worked really hard,

The bunting side of the game has not been the easiest thing for Chris and he's worked really hard,

That was a bomb. I told Chris to pick the pitch she wanted and to drive it. Chris came up big. We stole that game from George Mason.

You see it with Chris Bryant and Jonathan Cox, and Ajay Calvin and Al Stewart. With a lot of our guys, one night they'll do something, the next night you won't see it.

Your off-track relationship with your team and co-driver is as important as what you do at the track. Dyson Racing is the perfect blend. Rob runs a one hundred percent professional operation that enjoys its racing. I worked well with Chris last year, and along with Butch, Andy and James, it's a great team with great people. A driver can't ask for more.

This is a rough story for journalists to cover because your journalism textbook has to take a back seat to your moral compass, and the coverage is visceral because of this. When people beg Chris Lawrence for help, they're forcing him to be not just a spectator but a reluctant leader.

This is the first time in 28 years as a head coach I've lost a player halfway through the season. It's something that I personally take responsibility for. I feel bad about it. My job now is to make sure that Chris does a good job in school this semester and is successful with whatever he wants to do after school is out.

This is the first hill in a big mountain-climbing expedition, but Chris Bell has his walking shoes on.

This is the best, most affordable wine list in the valley. Chris is into delicate wines for easy going food.

The way the game went, I think the tempo and what we were trying to achieve was rock-solid. We had some very good looks at the basket inside of 5 minutes, and those shots didn't go. And then, finally, as far as the way Kearney played, for them, in my opinion, the X-factor obviously was Chris Dean.

This is a monumental undertaking. Chris has quite a potential as a playwright. He'll speak a language to contemporary situation. His voice will resonate with his fellow students.

This is actually kind of a surprise. If I would have voted, I would voted for (NIC women's basketball coach) Chris Carlson, because he had a fantastic year. I give all the credit to the players on the field.

This is a big part of why I am taking it so hard, because I was so close. If Chris was 7th, not 4th, then I was going. It was that close.

They scouted us and watched the West Lyon game. They realized Chris Newman is kind of our feature back and they game-planned to take him out of the ballgame and they did a fine job of stopping him,

They are both explosive-type players. Even if the offense is struggling, those two can still break it for you. The fact that they can both take it to the house any time they touch the ball is something every defense has to worry about and account for. Neil and Chris are both very versatile. They can block and run and catch the ball, and they can play a variety of positions.
