Certain Quotes
They tell you if she holds certain spins or if she is rushing something or if she is short on a spin or not deep enough or if the edge is not right. It's more on spins to get the levels to be where you want them. ... Not the jumps. Hey, we know if the jumps are clean or if they don't land them. That's pretty evident.
-
Bar Quotes
It was something that made sense to me when I was thinking about whether or not Tommy should compete this week. He always jumps so well early in every competition, I was thinking, 'Gee, it would be nice to have a bar up there, because he's two feet over at 18 feet.' Coming off an indoor peak, I knew he was fresh and ready, so why not go for a big bar? There was nothing to lose.

Capable Quotes
It's one of those things I can hope will get better and he can get back to playing because it's very obvious watching him play that he's not as reckless and daring and playing like he's capable of. I don't know if there's a level of uncertainty if he plants or runs or jumps or if the pain is so severe he just can't do what he's supposed to do.

Against Quotes
It's the difference between having some presence and no presence in the Dallas-Fort Worth area, ... When our standings are in the paper every day there and Dallas-area talk shows say, 'TCU won against BYU in a Mountain West game today,' I'll take that as a glass half-full approach. Maybe what is a 10 to 12 percent (television) interest jumps to 15 or 18 percent right away and then CSTV explodes on the scene in 2006.

Athletic Quotes
It's much more computer driven, so that hopefully now judging can't be corrupted as easily. But the other side is the obvious things like jumps and spins end up being rewarded, so skaters who may be more graceful and less athletic might not get as many points as the athletic skaters.

Afford Quotes
Tap dancers find it very difficult to do anything other than tap if that is all they have been trained in because, again, it's a whole different ballgame that you're constantly working on - bent legs, loose ankles - which you cannot afford to do when you're doing jumps or anything else.

Baseman Quotes
It wasn't but a few years ago when people thought of him as a liability out there. Now, he's solid. I've had him since 1993 when he was a catcher/first baseman in Class A at Bellingham. He's a self-made player. Through the hard work and the time he's put in, he's turned himself into a solid major league outfielder. His routes are outstanding, his jumps have gotten better and better.

Attract Quotes
The newest sport this year is called snowboard cross, and it involves four snowboarders competing at the same time, down the same course. It's very acrobatic, with jumps and spins and all kinds of moves. There was a clear decision by the International Olympic Committee to try to attract a younger audience, and to go for these sports, which televise really well. And I think they've revitalized the games and interest in the games.

Athlete Quotes
I know that Dan Marino, Donovan McNabb and Randall Cunningham didn't exactly blow the top off the score, and they were pretty darn good football players. There is some validity to it, but the main thing is: Can you play football? And one thing that jumps out at you is what an incredible athlete he is.

Ability Quotes
He stands out in his uniform, and then when you watch him play, he's got ability defensively and offensively. We don't have many guys in our system that have the ability to hit for average, hit for power and play average to above average defense. He's a guy that shows those talents. That's what makes him exciting. He plays with a lot of energy and he's got some tools. The ball jumps off his bat.
-
Difference Quotes
He's a guy who can make a difference - make you miss - and he has the speed to pop through a little hole. They really take a pride in their running game. They'll take their shots down the field, but what jumps out at you - this year and last year - is that they're willing to be patient, willing to grind it out and do what they need to do to stay on the field.

Behavioral Quotes
I am not prepared to comment because it is a confidential matter. Any league officials who are sources for this ought to be fired. Ricky Williams has been in the best behavioral mode I have ever seen him in. I think it's important that no one rushes to judgment or jumps the gun on any reactions.
