Picked Quotations | Page 5

I don't remember anything about that one, ... But I do remember the day Joe Jones with the Cleveland Browns picked me up and slammed me down on my head. Man, that hurt. It was the scariest injury I ever had. My body was numb for 24 hours.

I don't think I could have picked a more popular subject, ... So many people have said they're going through the same thing. It's a surprisingly universal topic.

If a kid says that he's being picked on in this location at this time, we can pull up the video and verify what's going on,

If A.J. flies off the board and a couple of other linebackers fly off the board, then, (Carpenter has) a shot to get picked in the first round. If they don't, then he's certainly going to be a second-rounder. But after draft day, it doesn't really matter. All that's thrown out the window, and he's going to have the opportunity to play and be a contributor somewhere.

I don't think we played fantastic. Our transition defense was suspect. We made some bad decisions early in the second half, but then we picked it up. We questioned ourselves, but we have the answers now.

I don't think when I started off that I was expecting to become so specialized, but what happened is that when my career started, I didn't pick my first film. I was picked to do it, and it happened to be a horror film.

I don't think our team was ever cocky. But you kind of get casual. When we went to the Wyoming tournament, we were picked to win, and we kind of got casual.

For me, this is such a relief that this night is over and we are qualified for Super Six. I felt we started out a little slow for us, but I'm most proud that we made a major mistake on every event and no one got rattled. We just picked it up.

For us to put 16 points on the board was big. The offensive line did a great job, the running backs picked up blitzes and the receivers ran great routes.

Fortunately we picked up no further serious injuries and a number of guys came back into the fold to strengthen the squad.

Fortunately Peter picked it up. But unfortunately it was him because he was playing on half a leg. Last week or the week before that he scores on that, but not today.

For the short amount of time he was here, he worked hard and picked up things pretty well, assignments and all that. It's tough to bring a guy in here off the street who's not familiar with your system and then put him in the game for a significant amount of plays. To his credit, I thought he was competitive.

For the rookies, I just wanted them to get the feel for what a track meet is like, but Rebecca ran a nice race and picked up some points for the team, which should be encouraging for the future.

Give them credit, they really picked up their play in the third game. But also I think we laid back a little too much, and that let them come back.

God helps all the children as they move into a time of life they do not understand and must struggle through with precepts they have picked from the garbage can of older people, clinging with the passion of the lost to odds and ends that will mess th

If it was a rookie or some guy who had never started sitting behind Boller, I think there would be some concerns. But knowing what Wright can do -- he's been in this spot before -- that doesn't concern me too much. When he stepped in on Sunday, he kind of picked up where he left off.

I got drunk that night in Honolulu, and we had some celebration. I went to the nearest joint I could find. Soldiers and sailors paid for nothing. Civilians paid for everything, picked up all our tabs. They loved us. The town was ours.

I got caught on the boards and Devin (Smith) picked up the puck. I stayed at my post and he hit me there in front of the goal.

I got a pretty good scolding in the locker room at halftime. I took it to heart and picked up my defensive intensity. I frustrated some people, got into their heads. I was having fun out there.

I got a lovely rhythm from him which is the key to the horse and he really picked up at the crossing. Once I got that rail, I knew he wouldn't get beat.

I got a head of steam going when I picked his pass off and went the other way, ... It was just nice to get a win and get a couple of goals.

I get my arms shot off in the film. I've heard great things about it. It got picked up by Think Films, which is a division of Lion's Gate.

If we win the next two, we stand a good chance of getting picked for an alliance.

It's going to ruin their crop for this year, which will totally change the forecast for orange juice, ... The vegetable growers are going to have an awful lot in the ground that would be picked this year and could be destroyed.

He was a very sound defensive type of individual. We would play a pinch defensively and he picked up on it real good.

He's had a chance to work on his shooting and his range. His passing skills have really picked up and he's making the guys around him better.

He was an immediate impact. That's what I saw out there, he came out there and it was like he never left. He picked up right where he left off, and, with him out on the field, it definitely improves our defense.

He was dodging bullets all the time. Your luck sometimes runs out but we got out of here with what we wanted. Five or six innings, 85-100 pitches. And we had enough guys in the bullpen ... he did his share and the rest of the guys picked him up.

He was definitely a father figure for me. He was the one who made me go back to law school, supported me during the toughest times as Babylon supervisor, and, most humbling, he picked me to take his place as county leader.

He was the person who went out and picked up the soldiers who got blown up. I have sympathy for him.

He's certainly done well enough where he should have been picked somewhere. He has done a nice job.

He hasn't done anything. He went to the doctor and I don't know if he'll be able to pitch or what. He hasn't picked up a ball for a few days.

He has done a real good job, ... He has picked up the system, he's a very smart and instinctive player, and he brings some leadership qualities back there.

He has a real knack for coming up with balls. He's picked off some passes and he's excellent at reading quarterbacks. A lot of that is instinctive, but he's gotten better over time. He's a kid back there that surprises you with some of the breaks he gets on the ball.

He did what he had to do, he held his own (in the Las Vegas Bowl). He started off (the game) a little shaky, but once he picked it up against that competition, he was doing the same thing to a guy from LSU that he did to guys from Lock Haven.

He has picked a candidate and our job is to determine not whether she's the best qualified, but whether she's qualified.

He grabbed hold of the snake by the tail, picked it up. They found a water jug close by and they put him inside that.

He got some easy buckets and he was stroking the perimeter shots, too. He passed well and there were a couple of times when he picked guys' pockets on rebounds and went up for a score. He just had an overall great game tonight.

He got picked before we could get him. Somebody else obviously tutored him up.

He got off slow, but he really picked it up. He's been dynamite. ... Right now, he's one of the better leadoff hitters.

He got off slow, but he really picked it up, ... He's been dynamite. ... Right now, he's one of the better leadoff hitters.

He looked around, he looked ahead and he could almost see the opening at that point he could almost smell the barn and I noticed his stroke picked up and he got past that one moment that all endurance athletes have to go through. He put his head down, he tucked his chin and did it,

He may be the smartest out of all of us as far as the amount of time he has been in the system. He has picked it up as quick or quicker than anybody. I think he's got real good football smarts.

He'll have off nights. Tonight, as a team, we picked him up. We're not worried about J.J.

This was not our best performance. We just did stuff that I haven't seen since the first of the season. We picked a day to miss 15 one-footers.

There is a high level of upset among voters who feel their franchise was violated, ... One voter said she got a sample ballot in the mail, filled out all the little circles, then took it to the polls. It wasn't until she saw the discussion later in the news that she realized she had picked the wrong circle.

We've been together for a while, so the team chemistry is there. As soon as we beat Clyde-Savannah, everything really picked up. We got a swagger, a confidence.

We totally understand what it's like to be sitting on top of a roof or to be sitting in a shelter where it's hot, where you're worried about when you're going to be picked up, where you're thirsty, where you're hungry,

We told them that they picked the worst time of the year to play their worst half of the year. We told them that we would find something out about ourselves in the second half.

We talked a lot about their big guy -- he can score 30 points a game. We sort of picked our poison and said let's defend him as best we can and know where their two best shooters are and hope they don't get hot.

When he's played in his age group, he's been one of the better European players. We were shocked when we picked him in the second round.

When he's on, he keeps you off-balance. He picked the plate apart.

When he picked the ball up, I'd be a liar if I said I thought he would score. I thought he was going to head it!

What impressed me early on was how quick he picked up the defense. He was real vocal right away. Right away when he came in he was telling people where they needed to be. To see that, especially from a rookie-telling veterans where they need to be-was pretty impressive.

We've got to see if we can get something going from the little funk we're in. Obviously, we've picked a bad time to go into a little swoon and it's hurting us.

We've got to see if we can get something going from the little funk we're in, ... Obviously, we've picked a bad time to go into a little swoon and it's hurting us.

With me, you're either in or out. I picked them. I'm with them. I'm going to try to keep coaching them. I'm not going let this shake me. I've been around this game too damn long.

We switched defenses and the change caused Galva some trouble. Our energy level picked up at that point in the game.

We sure will. I remember I used to play ball with him in the back parking lot because he was one of the last ones to be picked up.

We told them after the game, 'You have 12 hours to enjoy this. We'll see you tomorrow at 10 o'clock for films,' ... We were a little sluggish in practice on Tuesday, so we had a little conversation about what can happen if you're satisfied with what you've accomplished. The kids have picked it up and gotten back in the groove. They're not too high or too low.

We thought we had a chance to throw it on them if we picked up the blitz.

When I picked up those little girls that drowned, all I could think about was my grandbabies.

When I picked up the guitar for the first time, it opened up a whole new world for me. I became obsessed with writing and playing.

To finish second in the SEC East is a wonderful season for our team. Obviously, we were not picked that high. To qualify for a bowl game, that was our big goal for our team. We felt it was achievable and realistic and our guys went out and won seven games to go to the bowl game.

Here is an age of exploration, an age of so many discoveries happening all at once. The things that were picked for someone's chamber tells something about themselves, and usually they go for spectacular objects.

hardly anyone picked out an initiative and said, 'This one interests me.'

He's a good player. He picked his team up and led them to the victory.

He's a guy a lot of teams would take No.1. He knows what it takes to win games. ... He picked up the whole team with one swing. That was awesome.

Going into it there were a lot of jitters. They weren't the type of nerves in that I wasn't confident, but I was nervous about having contact and being in the flow and making sure I picked up right after I left off, ... But after the first few tackles, I got a little more confident and got that attitude back.

For members and Scotty Zion followers, we're having a freebie day on Aug. 16. We don't have much in the kitchen and when it's gone it's gone. I picked that night to include Scotty Zion and his wife.

He's a kid that gets picked on a lot because he doesn't stand up for himself. Anybody tries anything with him he just takes it. And most of the time, though, he'll start like joking around or he'll be laughing about it.

He's a junior. ... Last week he had a tough first half against White Bear Lake with a fumble, then played better and picked it right up again tonight. ... He's battle-tested now.

He's always bouncing, always in a good mood. Very few people look forward to practice, but I think Aaron Curry does. And when he's out there there's a sense of energy on our defense and everybody gets picked up a little bit. He's one of those kids that you have fun coaching (because) he makes you feel better every time he's around you.

He's got eight seconds to throw. He sat back there, could have made a sandwich, ate it, dropped half of it, picked it up, ate it, and oh yeah, then thrown the ball.

He's been solid since we picked him up. I think someone stepped on his toe or something so that's why he came out of the game. We put a little pad under it, so I think that's why he wasn't able to turn and push but he was fine coming back for the ball. But after that he didn't have that burst that he had in the first half.

His sister picked up a lot of the slack for care of his mom. His nephew, Daniel Miller, helped keep an eye on the farm. Steven and Nicholas helped with feeding and caring for the dogs.

Holly got much stronger as the game went on. Like Beth, she picked her corners, but also overpowered her batters at times.

He's been consistent all along. He's just picked it up where he left it last year and he hasn't missed a beat.

He's done a lot of great things. He's picked a ton of stuff up.

There are several teams that could step up and win it all. Northwestern was picked to win it, and they (the Demons) have been pretty impressive, but some other teams have been impressive, too.

There aren't that many growing, independent Web sites that have picked up a large audience. Pretty soon, there won't be any left.

We may have actually closed it early than it needed to be, but we picked a date that we knew would not be interrupted. We planned events all the way through to the end with a large plan for the last run up to the closing.

We have to be on top of our game when we face them. There's a reason why they were picked to finish first.

Well, you know, the team that was picked 32nd last year was San Diego and they made the playoffs and the worst team the year before that was Carolina and we were in the Super Bowl. So maybe it's a stroke of luck.

Well, you could have picked Salem, your capital, but Scio works.

We looked rusty because we haven't played in nine days. But we picked it up. Their pressure did bother us. Montpelier shot well in the first half, and they couldn't score in the second. I think we handled their defense pretty well. They definitely made us change things up on offense, but I think we handled it well.

We looked hard at some of the things that we did wrong at the end of the game yet we made sure everybody understands that it is that kind of hard work that will eventually turn those games into wins. There were a lot of good signs. I really thought the response coming out of the second half was excellent. We picked up the level of play. We did a good job of pushing to get the second goal. We'll learn from those mistakes.

We lost some players, mostly through injuries picked up last year.

We made some adjustments at halftime and our team really picked up the intensity.

We made plays. That's the difference from last week; we made plays. And we got the ball into the hands of the kids who can make plays. And we had three huge ones. We had the long pass to Josh, then he had the great catch right before half. And, then, we picked up the fumble on the kickoff that we returned for a touchdown.

He was just in shock, didn't know which way to turn. He's a changed young man, forever. I don't think he picked up a basketball all June, July or August.

He was offered scholarships by Colgate and Niagara, but he wants to be an engineer, so he picked us.

He was only 10 weeks old when he came here. When we picked him up at Pittsburgh Airport, he was in a little cat carrier.

He was one of those guys who came in freshman year completely out of shape, and he got picked on all the time.

He was happy to be picked up out of the water.

He?s playing like a veteran. He?s a smart guy and puts a lot of thought into every at-bat. When (Jim) Thome went out of the lineup everyone thought it was a big hit to our offense, and Ryan Howard has picked up the slack.
