Competitor Quotations | Page 2

Kara is a competitor and is very talented and is only a sophomore. We used (Tuesday) as a workout for her.

I think it's admirable what he did, because there have been some guys in recent history that have gotten their contract and gotten hurt and went home, never to be seen again. Knowing Troy, he was going to have to (try) because he was professional in every aspect of the game, so you didn't expect him to just not show up and collect his checks. He was going to try and pitch because he's a competitor first and foremost.

It almost looks like Global Crossing is trying to acquire companies that are still out there, ... I don't see how this makes them into an instant competitor to the big guys. They may be taking on more than they can chew at this point.

It certainly is a move in the right direction. (But) I still don't see it as a real competitor with other vehicles in the entry-level luxury segment.

I thought Corey Brewer's injury, when it happened, was a major problem. I never anticipated him coming back in the game. But that is the type of competitor he is.

It is going to be great to have these guys for four years. Trent is a hard-nosed competitor who is really good defensively, and Matt is a versatile player who can shoot the three-pointer and score on the block.

Lance is a competitor and he can shoot, that's a pretty good combination. Lance is just one of those guys who works hard to reach his goals.

I was disappointed in myself because I am a fierce competitor and I put a lot of pressure on myself.

It is important to take stock of where we are in 2006. In the last decade, the Bell monopolies have all but wiped out their telephone competitors; they have swallowed their long-distance competitors; and with the announcement of the AT&T-BellSouth merger, they are on the verge of recreating Ma Bell. And only one competitor really stands in their way: the cable industry.

I think the sky is the limit for her. She's as good a competitor as I've ever had, female or male.

I think Stephanie was good for volleyball in central Ohio. I've known her since she was a high-school player, and Stephanie was quite a competitor back then. That has been a characteristic of her teams.

Japan has been moving its innovation on, and if they get their economy moving again they will be a very aggressive competitor for us and we need to be prepared for that.

Jeff gets good athletes and they play hard. He's a great competitor and tries to get it done the right way.

Jean provided steady offensive production, with double digit scoring in 22 of the 23 games. Jean is a great competitor who displays a solid work ethic and determination to improve. Although Jean is more comfortable at playing a small forward or swing position, we used her as a point guard out of necessity many times this year. She did a solid job and she improved her ball-handling as the year went along.

I said when we see him, we'll take it to him just like anyone else. He laughed it off, but he's a competitor like I am. We don't get caught up in the hype of it. I know that I'm going to give my best effort every time I'm on that sideline and he will too.

I respect the athletes' wishes. She is a competitor and will help us no matter where she plays.

Our inexperience showed. That is something we have to work on if we want to be an NCAA team or a competitor in the Big East.

Our growth rate is still a multiple of any major competitor in our space, and we should continue to pull away from the industry over the next several years. Our operating expenses are declining as a percentage of sales, and we are generating cash at a rate of $4 billion annually, which adds to our investment income.

Overnight, in one fell swoop, this company has jumped from a strong Internet competitor to a global powerhouse.

Our view is that our biggest competitor is illegal music and P2P services. We always thought that if we offered a better alternative, then those customers would be happy to pay,

Our view is that it's now a substantial competitor to everyone else. It's no longer the sort of toy database that you use for relatively small businesses.

Our biggest competitor is Sam's, and the only way that we stay in business is by offering more of a selection than Sam's. They offer the top 10 candy bars and maybe the top 10 bulk items.

Our bid of more ambulances and response times 1 1/2 minutes faster than our competitor would have a direct impact on the safety of Scottsdale residents.

Playing that type of hockey and that type of role, it's tough night in and night out. Jason is just a competitor in every way and works hard, plays hard and I think will be an energy asset.

Patrick didn't let the bronchitis he is coming off of slow him down. He's a very tough competitor and he made sure we scored the points we needed to win the meet.

We are excited about having the opportunity to serve the Passport Health customer base, and look forward to meeting their claims management needs with our comprehensive solution.

Part of our plan was to attack their zone, to find the gaps. Lacey did that for us. She's absolutely fearless, and she was the kind of senior competitor you need in that situation.

Some of those, to me, are the best plays I've made because my natural inclination as a competitor is to make plays all the time.

My new employees had been competing against me for so long, they were afraid to have their competitor become their new boss. They resented the fact that we were onboard. I didn't know how hostile it would be.

Natalie is another excellent athlete from the state of Indiana. Natalie has a bright future with the Hoosiers. Her strength in the midfield to distribute over distances and win tough battles with opponents will make her a competitor from day one. Natalie is a soccer junkie who loves to play soccer and compete. She is a fine addition to the 2006 class.

Napa will make Intel a more capable competitor against AMD's products. AMD is having a modicum of success in mobile.

Mark came alongside me in lapped traffic and we just kept on racing him. He's as tough a competitor and as clean a competitor as you'll find and we won today, but just to race with Mark here in Atlanta is unbelievable.

Marc was the most fierce competitor I've ever coached. Marc was a phenomenal athlete. He did everything (and) played on both sides of the ball.

Lindsey has been a great competitor for Council Rock North for the past four years. She has excelled in any and every event in which she has competed.

Linux is the most significant competitor to the Windows platform,

I think he's been everything to this program. He's been an absolute high-level competitor since the day he stepped foot on campus. I'm going to miss him, as a coach and as a teacher. He's been a special player for me to have an opportunity to interact with.

I think he came into that first game a little scared, and he maybe tried to do too much, too soon. But I felt all along that Ben, deep down, wanted to be the starter. That's the kind of competitor he is. This year, he wants to be the guy to make plays to help us win games. Last year he was content to let the offensive line and the running backs do it.

It'd be great. My feeling is I would love to have him. That's just me. He's a competitor that we could use. It's always good to have an extra perimeter guy you can go to, especially on the defensive end. Just as long as he handles his business, that's good. I wish him the best.

I thought last year was a miraculous year for him. And he definitely earned my respect last year as to what kind of pitcher he was, what kind of person he was, what kind of competitor he was.

John Smith if one of the most unbelievable athletes and competitor I've ever been around and played with. He's amazing.

That was a tough match. It was tough, both guys battled hard, Sean should be proud, but he's not. He's a competitor and he hates to lose. There's nothing I can say to him tonight, he knows what he has to do (today). He knows he is in position to get a medal if he wants it. It will be tough for him to get re-focused on third place, but that's what he has to do if he wants to go home with a medal (today).

That was three freshmen and a sophomore. Zach showed a lot of speed in his 100 leg of the relay, so he looks like he'll be a good competitor in the 100 for us, and could be competing for a top three spot in the long jump.

I was not looking forward to those yellow flags; they just gave (Martin) a chance to catch up with me. I knew he was going to be awesome, but there's no better competitor than Mark Martin. I knew he wasn't going to take me out.

Most communities want competition, they are glad to get another competitor in, it is not hard to get a franchise if you are competitor.

Most milers would never dream of running 25 laps. Dave was almost as crazy as I was. He was a fun-loving guy, full of energy and with that Hawaiian flair. He was a fierce competitor who led by example. He motivated me a lot seeing him work so hard.

Microsoft, in whatever form it will end up, will be a very strong competitor and a very innovative force.

Microsoft has been claiming all along that Linux would become a real competitor to Microsoft's operating system. If you stretch this out long enough, who knows, they could be right. Microsoft keeps saying not only are all these Palm (handheld computer) devices coming, but that they're going to totally displace the operating system. If you stretch this out a year, two years, that could happen.

We have one major competitor which does a good job at what it does,

Willie's a good guy. He's a tough competitor on the field.

Wireless is the only competitor for local phone monopolies, ... If the FCC makes it easier for customers to cut the cord, that's our best hope for a competitive local market.

We are in a very competitive telecommunications market in Texas, so it was only natural that we would ask our auditing firm what it was doing for a major competitor of ours.

We know that Andrew is a competitor and deserves to be playing somewhere, and frankly it just didn't appear he would get into many games for us down the stretch. Minnesota was looking to add a player like Andrew to their roster so the deal made sense for both the clubs and the individual.

We know Joe's a competitor and he can be intense. I'm sure he'll be a great fit for West Point.

We were in striking distance most of the game, so maybe that's something positive that we can take away. But your immediate reaction after the game as a competitor is that you don't like to lose.

We are absolutely thrilled to add Roger to our staff. Roger was a great competitor as a player ? he started, he relieved and he even fought through arm problems, so he comes in a with great level of experience that our pitchers will learn from.

We are responsible to generate as much cash and shareholder value as possible in the interim, ... We intend to be a tough competitor until the deal closes.

The overall electronic entertainment industry is a big competitor to the sports industry. If it's not video games, it's a DVD or television or the Internet. We're just filled with things that amuse us and consume lots of time.

When I got here I was a lot hungrier than the guys that were here. They were coming off two really bad seasons, and they were complacent. I had come from a winning program and brought a winning attitude. It was tough at first. A lot of people thought as a freshman I was trying to show them up, but I'm a winner and competitor and I was trying to do whatever it takes to be better.

When an entrant competitor attacks the low end of any market, the rational reaction of the incumbent firms is to abandon rather than defend it - because the low end is the least profitable of their possible investments.

We are giving our competitor a fair and open opportunity to challenge our clear market leadership in a public setting.

There is little question that Sun is rapidly gaining market share, but there may also be evidence of a market turn-up for Internet servers at the same time as a turn down for legacy systems, ... Sun is the long-term winner in the UNIX category and we still do not see how any UNIX competitor can catch them. Sun is the best-positioned UNIX server vendor, with more than twice the UNIX server market share of any of its competitors.

Time will tell whether that is a deal that is going to make sense for my competitor or simply make sense for Howard Stern.

What we saw tonight wasn't anything out of the ordinary concerning what (Smith) can do. He's a super competitor and doing that (benching) to a guy like him is kind of devastating. But he took it like a man and worked hard in practice and worked hard all week. Then he comes out and shows you why he should be in the lineup.

What we're trying to do is remain competitive and stay at the forefront of summer fun in this area. Everything is our competitor ... whether it's a local pool or a big park.

We knew we had to do something which would really create awareness, because our market position was very weak. And we knew if we tried to do the same as our competitor it wouldn't work. We needed to do something they wouldn't copy.

With a healthy Steve, your chances of winning go up dramatically. Knowing Steve and what kind of competitor he is, he's going to do all he can to put them in position to win.

We have been on Capitol Hill, sharing our concerns regarding whether we will get equal treatment for our content from any competitor that has both cable and internet pipeline into the home.

When Newman ran that lap, I know Ryan Newman, he's not out of that gas long. It's pretty neat for him to go out and lay down a fast lap and then me kind of go after it, because I know what kind of competitor he is and how hard he had to drive.

We will continue to monitor vending machines, just like we do any competitor in the home entertainment space. But we think it makes more sense to invest our money where the majority of customers want to rent ? and that is in our stores and increasingly online.

This will be a tough match, but our guys aren't ready to concede anything. Dennis has always been an aggressive competitor and he has carried it into success as a coach. But we will just have to wait and see what happens on the mats.

The only thing worse than cannibalizing your own market is having your competitor do it.

When the economy's weak, there's always a potential competitor who will undercut you on price, but when everybody's doing decent business, there's not as much urgency on the pricing front. When consumers are mostly employed and their incomes are going up, they're more inclined to accept some price increases.

First and foremost, he's an outstanding athlete. He has to be or else he wouldn't be in this position. He takes great care of himself. He's a competitor by nature. He has a great sense of humor, which I think keeps everything in perspective for him, good or bad. But, to play as long as he has played and to be on the verge of breaking these records is a tremendous accomplishment. For someone to be in a position that he's in and having done this for so many years and continue to be excited about coming to work every day and the opportunities he has is really a remarkable thing.

We had a strong feeling about Jordan after meeting him last year at Road Atlanta. Obviously BMW feels he will be a top competitor and represent their brand well, as noted by their selection of him as a BMW Junior Driver for the 2006 season. As a team, it is our responsibility to help develop his skills to their fullest potential and put him in a position to excel both on and off the track.

Tomas is an extremely important and valuable part of our team, and his presence will be missed. Our thoughts and support are with him as he begins the recovery process, and we are confident that he will have a complete recovery.

We went 5-0 out of district and it didn't help us any. Kevin is a heck of a competitor who wants to be out there, but if you're not close to 100 percent, I'm not going to clear it.

We see a true competitor here with Roy. And the way he went about his business tonight gave us great confidence. He went after them. He challenged them. They are powerful from top to bottom, and Roy didn't back down.

We think of Microsoft as our major competitor in the database business, not IBM,

We think Microsoft is a very serious competitor going forward in the applications business. It's not simply going to be Oracle versus SAP.

Brandon is a killer. He's the toughest, most intense competitor I've ever coached.

Boxing out is the most important part of rebounding. You had to make sure your competitor is behind you and then go after the ball.

Everything that we do now is competitive with other countries. China is going to continue to always be a competitor for our fuel. That just drives prices up.

Every show I've been on has been cancelled eventually. I don't know if it gotten beaten out by a competitor or whether not. I'm not into speculating.

Drew is a fierce competitor who plays extremely hard.

Evan is a great competitor and exceptionally dedicated. He's a great example for our program and a champion regardless of the outcome.

There's some of that, and then some of that is just sheer determination, guts, and talent. He is a phenomenal competitor and he is blessed with great talent. Not to take anything away from anyone else.
