Decent Quotations | Page 5

I was trying to crowd them and keeping them from shooting the 3 because they are a decent 3-point shooting team. Sometimes we were overplaying them and they were capitalizing, and getting to the basket. Early in the second half, our help defense was so-so, but give them credit they did a good job. They were very aggressive.

I was trained as a fine artist. I went to a progressive public school in Pennsylvania that developed these talents, but I was never able to apply to a decent college because I had no math, no science - I was allowed to just paint all day and write.

I think right now he's playing like the best back in the National Football League. I don't think it's just the yardage. He also can catch the ball. He does a decent job of pass protection, and he makes big plays.

I think movie is so relentless and so out there that I think we might even get some decent reviews finally. Who knows? I'm always an optimist.

I think most people thought we would be decent - maybe make the playoffs and that would be it. I think some people were writing us off.

I think if we still get rain late in January or early in February, a decent amount, we may be able to make up what was lost. If it is too far into February, it is too close to the onset of nesting.

I think I came through with a decent race. I'm not thrilled with it, but I think it was a good effort. It was representative of where I am today. I was a little sick last week and this is a good first race back.

I think getting out of there, ... and having an opportunity to pitch every day in a decent pitching environment, it helps. I'm not going to lie.

I think I've been having a decent year; I've scored some goals, my ice time is coming up more. I don't know -- they know what they get when I'm on the ice -- I'm around the net, I do my thing on the power play, and try to screen the goalie. They know what they're going to get.

It hasn't been pretty for us. We still have a chance to finish with a decent record and put away all the talk about us being .500 or under .500 and just getting this thing right going into the playoffs.

I thought it was a good win for us. I don't think we played as well as we should have. ... Overall I think we did a decent job on defense, but the thing that is bothering me a little bit is we were inconsistent.

I thought it was a good event. I'm not displeased. I thought that we had a pretty decent crowd. Obviously it wasn't as large as South Carolina State. But hopefully the city of Columbia and the people of South Carolina will see that this is a very viable game, and they'll decide they will come out and support these young people. This is a very good game.

I thought it was a decent game to get us ready for our league. We start off with the toughest trip in the league, and that's why we came over here, to get us ready prepared for that.

I thought I had a decent look. Just wasn't fortunate enough to have it go in.

I think this is a decent bill and gives the opportunity for a youngster to progress a little bit faster and not be burdened down.

I'm here to support the workers, who're trying to earn a decent wage, democracy in the workplace, and freedom from intimidation.

The alternative for Denver is Frontier. I put the grant in because I thought I had a pretty decent plan to get additional service to the West. In the past, United has been pretty nonchalant about wanting to add another flight to that market.

That was a very frustrating moment. Unfortunately, the official didn't hear me and I didn't want Cobb taking it, but she did have a decent look.

That was a good game for us on the road. We played decent hockey, but we're capable of playing much better. We gave up a lot of odd-man rushes against Medford.

I was really nervous about this game. The whole day, I was freaking out about it, I was worried. I was a little concerned about how we'd match up and how we'd handle their pressure, but I think overall we did a decent job.

I was pretty worried going in after some slow training times last week. The times today were solid but it certainly wasn't my best. I was nervous for the first race because I wanted to post a decent time. I focused well on technical things and didn't panic.

I was playing decent and she started playing really bad and it totally threw me off. She was playing weird. Next thing I knew I was playing as bad as she was. She started hitting these weird shots, short balls. ... I guess maybe it was a good strategy. It just threw me off.

I would like to see them say, 'Hey, Walter Forbes is clean. He is a good guy. He's got a decent idea here, and we need to keep him around.' Or, 'Hey, Walter Forbes is no longer part of this company,'

I would look for IBM to still have decent growth in the fourth quarter. It's usually a pretty good quarter as far as tech spending goes.

Microsoft is about as exciting as General Motors in the 50s and 60s. This was a decent quarter but so what?

Miami has a decent shot ... I have the opportunity to play early.

We can't come out with just a decent performance and expect to beat them. We were just good enough to lose a close game to them. I thought we competed hard and played hard. That's part of the equation, but we have to learn to execute better.

We were looking for something pretty specific: secure facility, educated staff, a structured curriculum, clean, decent cost, flexible schedule, low student-to-teacher ratio and a good feeling and comfort level were all extremely important to us. We also wanted something close to home.

When I was about five, I could do a vaguely decent American accent - straight through kind of decent - and 'Hercules' needed some kids. I definitely wasn't a good actor.

We played a very small stretch of decent basketball out of a 48-minute game. We've been defending the 3-pointer pretty well this year, but it didn't happen tonight. We pretty much know where we're going to finish now (the No. 4 seed).

We have to see about this weekend. Hopefully, we have a decent shot to win both games and to come in and tie for second.

We were 20-over at the turn, and then we shot a 2-over on the last nine. I told them the back nine was tougher of the nines, so I figured if we could get off to a decent start, we should be all right.

You always want to second-guess yourself to a point. I think it was a decent pitch. I would like to have it a little more inside and not give up a hit.

We had four pretty decent players at our service every day.

We had trouble during that first quarter. We had some decent shots that we didn't make. That has been our problem all year we have a quarter somewhere in the game that always hurts us. But the kids didn't quit, showing a lot of character on their part, and they kept plugging away at it.

We've made dramatic progress towards a school system that gives every child the opportunity for a quality education in decent facilities.

We've long known we have our work cut out for us in Europe, but this tournament represents a decent positive stride in Europe, in addition to the enormous success it has been elsewhere.

We have caseworkers down there, and most people have already received rental assistance. I just gave approval to purchase 10,000 more travel trailers.

We have to play fundamental, sound hockey, with him in or out of the lineup, quite frankly. And if we give ourselves a chance with whomever wears the colors to play five-on-five or better, we have a decent chance to win the game. Basically, we beat ourselves (in Game 1).

We have tried to treat our people like we want to be treated. We try and pay a decent wage and have been fortunate to hire some really good people.

We haven't by no means had a spectacular year or even a decent year, and you can't really pit it on one person. We haven't run well, so we did some changes around. It's not like we brought in anybody different. We did some swapping around with the teams, and I think it will benefit us.

Those are young pitchers who made the adjustments, learned how important it is to get ahead in the count. There isn't much I can say positive about the first 3 2/3 innings of this game. Oliver had a decent first inning but after that there was no command to speak of.

We're not sure what happened. I had a decent first lap, but I think going into the second lap, we maybe ran out of fuel. We'll go back and have a look at the data.

The outstanding thing about my father to me anyway was just what a good and decent person he was. He was good and decent to everybody.

We had a problem in the fuel system on the first pass and still ran 4.77, ... It should have been a better run than that. The clutch didn't wear properly and it shook the tires on the night run.

We had a pretty decent pull-back in spot gold, so I think there is some profit-taking here.

We have like a fourth the number of miners as we used to have, and the equipment is doing a lot of the work. And, I think that we are starting to get a lot of the other plants and everything like this, that would exist because, a lot of times when plants want to move into a state, they look at the lifestyle. Are the schools decent? Are the roads decent? Do you have, is there decent recreation? West Virginia has those things, now.

We did swing the bats pretty decent in game one. We played from behind but were able to make a nice comeback. The game was close for most of it.

We're lacking in the size department. Big linemen are at a premium right now. We went after several guys during this last recruiting season, but all of the ones with decent size were snapped up by Division I schools. There just weren't that many to be had.

There are parts of the country, particularly the two coasts, where the price of housing has so outstripped any income gains that moderate wage earners find it difficult to find a decent home in the community where they work.

We do a pretty decent job of running a tournament so we said, 'Let's jump on this and go.' We have six seniors who deserve it.

We were a decent team this year, and if we wouldn't have had some of those injuries we would've been up there with some of the great teams Grove City has ever had.

We don't know who the family is. We have no interest in knowing. It's beside the point. It's a terrible tragedy. It's done now. We hope that if one decent thing comes out of this it's that someone else pays attention the next time around.

We worked a lot on that type of thing in practice. We worked on slips and worked on the out of bounds plays. We did a decent job of seeing the openings.

We won't see the very strong bull markets that we've had over the last couple of years. But another decent year? Yeah, absolutely...That's very possible.
