It wasn't as good a throw as the one I did at Shea Stadium; it was a little high, ... This was more of an English cricket throw than a pitch. I was throwing it a little high on purpose to show them I had a different pitch than the one I did at Shea Stadium. It just dropped about 10 feet too late.

It's very sad, and I just felt like my heart dropped when I saw the video.

It's tough because we dropped a gut-wrenching game against Virginia Teach the other night, and any time you lose some tight games, or three or four in a row, confidence becomes an issue.

It's an important mindset that if we work at it we can get over the hump here.

It took me forever, learning improvisation, because I had studied with Lee Strasberg - I dropped out of Chicago and went to his classes in New York for a couple of years, once or twice a week.

Anytime you lose it's frustrating. The kids played hard and that's all you can ask for. We dropped some games early in the season that cost us. I told them this game isn't what really cost us. If we'd have gotten those other ones we'd have been all right.

I'm not saying they wouldn't have scored two or three runs (without the dropped third strike), but at least we've got one out to start the inning. The chances diminish.

I'm not going to muck up his win by even entertaining the thought that he had an unfair advantage. Whether he made the weight or not, whether he had an advantage or not, is not the point. He landed a great shot. I made a big mistake. I dropped my right hand, and I paid for it ... I chose to accept that fight because of my pride, because of my honor, and because people deserved to see a fighter do his job. If this fight doesn't happen, this is bad for the sport.

I'm definitely scared about newspapers. The problem is nobody wants to catch a falling knife, and nobody knows where things will stabilise. The value of newspapers has dropped significantly. I think we still have more pain to be felt.

I have people coming to me every day, coming to my office, with life-threatening diseases - life-threatening diseases - and they were dropped from their health care because of the Affordable Care Act.

I once came out of the hotel, and Brad Pitt was in front of me. There were all these fans out there and he walked out. I knew they were going to yell or something, but then they all just dropped down and died on the ground. Like 400 girls just simultaneously fell on the ground and died.

If you drop that ball out there, everybody knows: 'Man, Michael blew the game,' ... Jackie Smith. Tight end. Dropped the ball. That's the only thing I know of him, because he had it right here in his hands. Now, you make the play... The Catch. Everybody remembers it.

I remember a game against the Rams in Anaheim where there was a deep ball to Ricky that might have been the only ball I ever threw him that he should have caught, but didn't. He dropped it. Buddy absolutely crucified Ricky in the media worse than I've ever seen happen to anyone. But Ricky then is just like Ricky now. He's a total pro and he just kept working. Buddy Ryan tried to bury both Ricky and I while we were there. He was pretty good at that kind of stuff and he ruined some careers. I survived it and Ricky's still surviving it.

I don't think there's one thing you can hang your hat on and say you won or lost with.
