Regular Quotations | Page 5

For us to tell our kids that this is just a regular season game ... we've always set goals, to try to win the Big East championship. To back away from that a day before or two days before the game would be foolhardy.

For us, our goals lie in the regular season. Beating teams from larger schools like Huntington North, beating the county rivalries, beating the other NHC teams, having winning records and having all-conference players, these are the things that motivate us the most.

Giving tax cuts to the very wealthiest Americans should not take priority over the real economic, health care and security concerns facing regular people,

If it goes up a level from the regular season, it's going to be an unbelievably intense physical battle.

If it was the regular season, I could have played.

I get to show all that disgusting, gross part of the industry. My character goes through a crazy process, where he thinks he's found part of the American dream, and has to do things that he wouldn't in a regular job. It's very impacting and really raw.

If we win the next two games, we should be in the playoffs. If we go 1-1 against Tracy before finishing the regular season at Lincoln, its going to be real close.

If we were opening up (the regular season) tomorrow, I think that's the way I'd go,

If this was the regular season, I would be (concerned). The game isn't won in the first five minutes. To give up as many points as we have early on, it could be a concern. Some way we have to right that ship.

If this was the regular season, he'd play. But I don't want it to run into the season.

If this was regular negotiations, the committee would have turned this down. We would have said 'No,' we would have been on strike.

If the consultant lives too far from the property, it will be difficult to visit on a regular basis,

If the high-grade gas commands 20 cents more per gallon, ... he can pocket $200 for selling 1,000 gallons of regular at the higher price.

If someone wants to say, 'What Florida has done to this point in time means absolutely nothing... the regular season doesn't mean anything... the Southeastern Conference tournament championship means nothing.' That's fine.

If someone selected for a regular room then gets an endowed room, someone may be pulled up from the wait list.

He's had nine weeks to focus on this game. He was competing for a ball in the air, which just goes to show his ultra-competitive nature. I have no doubts about his self-control. We've been in regular contact.

He was a regular donor to the annual fund, at a nice level but not a major gift level. It's a fantastic surprise to get.

He was always very unassuming, a regular guy, but his approach to training and preparation was amazing. He was really a consummate professional, a great leader.

I always knew that I was kind of bored; the regular life of a child didn't fit me.

He's been able to train on a regular basis, and it's been a long time since he's done that.

He handles it the way he handles everything - with a good sense of humor and without ever really losing focus on his priorities. He's a regular guy with a big job. That is always the way John Boehner has approached his life in politics. It's an approach that has proven successful, and that is why he is majority leader.

He has been doing so at regular intervals and has miserably failed every time.

He has a lot of talent, he's just young and he's learning how to play on a regular basis - two or three times a week instead of training two months and then playing a tournament. He's coming along.

He impressed me so much. I've got a lot of respect for him, and he earned a lot from me. He knew he had to go down and pitch on a regular basis.

He hustled, plain and simply. He played hard. He was one of the guys that played like he normally plays in regular games. He ran down loose balls, made shots, made some deflections. That's why I left him in the game for so long.

He is not badly hurt. He told me today that if it were the regular season, he would play in this game, but we are obviously not going to take any chances.

He never, ever felt worthy of the adoration. He thought of himself as a regular (guy).

Today, it only takes six to eight weeks and we only have to do it once. This eliminates the need to have to redo it. The wireless application had been a completely separate application. It had its own programming and its own code and it had its own infrastructure. Now it's one application that you can access through the regular Web or through a wireless device.

What more can a regular person expect from us? We were a real underdog, and we fought till we couldn't fight anymore. That's all we could give.

There is no hesitation about this, as the political decision has been taken. We are withdrawing every single official from Lebanon, whether he is a regular army soldier, or whether he is in the security or intelligence forces.

We try to not put too much pressure on the kids. We treat it like a regular day.

We try to go 50 percent below regular stores and 30 percent below Wal-Mart.

We're proud it was one of our stores and one of our customers who won. We have a higher concentration of stores in other areas of the country. And we're happy it was a regular shopper.

We're pleased to have them with us. It shows their commitment to Illinois tennis because they are giving up this opportunity to play Davis Cup to help us take another step toward another regular season conference championship.

We've found that as people age, their taste shifts. That's our sweet spot. These are consumers who don't go for the diet colas because of the taste and they want to avoid the sugar in the regular cola.

We take the idea of regular compliance and medical complaints seriously. We've been working hard to address all of these issues.

We take it one game at a time, but we're looking down the road, too. This time of the year most teams are. That's something we have as a goal, to play beyond the regular season.

...We the players, we see in the training, we know what he is capable of, the management has shown a tremendous amount of patience with him, and yet he's come back, and that's a good sign, that's he's confident, he's up and running again, he's scoring on a regular basis, and people should give him a chance and support.

We are fortunate that this was a minor injury and caught early. Sean has a great work ethic and we know he will work extremely hard to be back to 100 percent when the regular season begins.

We are extremely proud of it. When you put a team together that is going to stay together -- that's a long shot. It's a matter of working day in and day out at practice and against different opponents; responding to opponents and putting in the most work possible to put yourself in that position. It's nice to be rewarded for it at the end of the regular season.

To figure out what people think, look at the stories that they tell. We might never get away from the image of Sheldon from 'The Big Bang Theory' breaking down in the middle of the store, not knowing which console to buy, but we can see in TV and movies how regular characters are more and more starting to play games.

To end the regular season 5-15 last year and turn around to 15-5 is just a tremendous accomplishment for our team.

To do what we've done, what people don't realize is 13 of our 22 games were on the road. We were in this building only nine times during the regular season. We did it being on the road a lot of times. This place can hold (enough fans) and do what it's supposed to do.

What we have found is that many email senders who are already using one of our accredited email service providers for their direct mail campaigns also want to be able to have their transactional email and regular day-to-day email communications accredited, as even these messages are not always making it into the inbox. And these are the messages that are the most likely to be mission-critical, such as messages containing confirmations, instructions or requests which are on a deadline,

Hats off to U High. They're solid across the whole board. They work hard at it, and that's why they're good. They're one of the top teams in the state, and it's good for our girls to get to play with them on a regular basis.

Having a top member of an organization that continues to spew out hate on a regular basis made it impossible for us to continue to serve.

Having an undefeated regular season has got to be in the back of the players' minds somewhere. But it is not something we are focusing on. One of the great things we have done all year is stay focused on one match at a time. Our guys have shown a lot of maturity and composure to not get too high or too low. That consistency has been a big part of our results this year.

Guys get a chance to get more rest, ... Guys get a chance to do life stuff: Go do laundry, go to the car wash, go to the bank, shopping. Regular stuff you don't get a chance to do, stuff that's closed when you get to the park, stuff that's closed when you leave the park.

He's a down-to-earth man. He's enjoying himself. On the field, he's a pro. But off the field? He's a regular guy.

He runs on a regular basis, I truly don't know what his capabilities are.

Here's the interesting part. The people who go to Everest on a regular basis, like the commercial expeditions that go back and forth each year, while some don't like the commercial outfitters, one benefit is that when they go, they know they're going back the next year. So they're less likely to leave their trash because they're camping there next year.

Going into the playoffs, our mentality has to be opposed from the regular season -- that we're going to shut you down. We still know we can score. Our identity is defense.

Going in first off as a freshman into regular high school is really tough, because people already make fun of you. Going in as an actor is even harder... the worst thing that could have happened, because you get so many jokes about it. I don't know, girls are really, really catty at this age.

Going undefeated has never been our goal, ... The teams that get remembered are not the ones who have great regular seasons, they are the ones who do something in the playoffs.

Going out and getting people out on a regular basis is my main concern. I felt like I did that. Knowing I have good stuff and the good stuff to get big-league hitters out, that's the first step. And today it was a step in the right direction.

He's a skilled player who has been able to put the puck in the net on a regular basis. Jesse also took more of a leadership role this season and is a very solid player.

He's done, unfortunately, what I was afraid he was going to do. He came right off the regular tour. There is an intensity level that you still have to have, and to see what he can do with a ball on a putting green ...

His wife and kids were up there. If you see your family in harm's way, you're going to go protect them. You're the man of the house, and at that point you're thinking like a regular human instead of an athlete.

Hollywood and entertainment people are in Las Vegas on a regular basis. Sports stars and legends from all sports are in our town, and now you bring in the best basketball there is in the world, the NBA All-Star game. Combine that with their legends, it is going to be a tremendous weekend for all the participants.

Holly: All right so he's not a regular rat, or even a super-rat. He's a scared little mouse, that's all. But oh-- golly gee damn!!!

He's a talented kid who is very inexperienced and young so you can't expect too much at this point in time. He's 16 years old any way you look at it. You talk about patience, he clearly needs that. He needs to get a couple of good years under his belt with his club team where he fits in as a regular and sees a bunch of 90-minute games and plays well and deals with all of that. Right now, he has a long way to go.

He's being well-treated and he's getting his regular medications . He said it's ... like some of the parts that he's played.

He's been battling it for a week to 10 days. We don't anticipate it being a big issue. If this was the regular season you wouldn't even know about it. With an off-day and everything, we could afford to give him some rest.

Hopefully the smell will get her moving, and Port Authority police on their regular patrols will spot her.

There is an active police presence here on a regular basis.

We meet with the police department on a regular basis and present issues of concern to us, and they are responsive to the overwhelming majority of those concerns.

We make sure we're not pushing guys too fast, too early. And then, as we get about a week or 10 days away (from the regular season), we'll push it a little bit harder.

Hudson was completely filthy today. He's right on. If he can carry it right on into the regular season, we're in business. That's about as good as it gets.

He wasn't using the leg kick all the time and I pointed out that if he wanted to use it during the regular season he better start here. You want to get your timing down in camp.

He was put on anti-inflammatory medication, and this morning he is much, much, much improved, and in fact probably could play today if this were the regular season.

He was in a troubled time of his life, and regular therapy wasn't working. So there was this spiritual psychiatrist that I took him to, and afterwards I said, 'Can I ask her? Can I talk to her?' So I said to her, 'Well, what do you think?' She said, 'Well, you know, he thinks he's an alien,'

He was great on special teams in college. He made highlight-film hits on a regular basis.

He was a great guy. Some of the guys had a tendency to complain because he was so stringent but he only did that because he was taking care of his guys. And, in the regular Army, that's what you look for, someone who's going to take care of your guys. And, he did that great!

He didn't have the aura of a rock icon. He was just a regular guy. To have the bass player walk in the room with a mandolin over his shoulder is kind of a bizarre experience.

He'll be one of the best athletes they've got there. He can dunk a ball any way you want to dunk it. Absolutely. He's got exceptional speed, exceptional jumping ability. He'll be a regular gym rat.

has paid him so well, he's hired a camera crew to follow him around on tour. The edited results appear on his website (JoeRogan.net) in regular installments called the ''JoeShow.

Guys should work every day. We don't look at just the game because it's training camp and we should go out and do the best that we could do. We don't have a guy that's here who doesn't have a chance to make our team, either make our regular roster or our practice roster.

This was a good way to close out the regular season. Before the season we wanted the first or second seed and that is what we got.

This was a good learning experience for us. This game was a carbon copy of the Gulf game (a 62-28 loss for NCT). It was a more athletic team that got us into a tempo we didn't want to get into. We don't normally get to see a team like this and we can't simulate this in practice and until you get use to seeing that on a regular basis, it's hard to get use to dealing with it.

We are going to offer enterprises an opportunity for real instant collaboration and features that they can't get from the regular phone network.

There are a lot of similarities there. Of course in the regular season our numbers are better and in the playoffs their numbers are better. Sometimes in the national tournament you can throw those numbers away .

I was just a regular kid in poverty, struggling.

Kevin has led the team with passion and professionalism. Each week he gives you everything and he has the ability to be a top player for years to come. One of his main attributes is his ability to score goals on a regular basis. If he continues to progress, he'll go close to earning a seat on the plane to Germany in June.

Jake is playing with so much confidence. When you're in the playoffs, you don't have that grind of the regular season and can be at your best. He's doing a great job of breaking down the other team and he's making plays.

Just like 'The Sopranos' fits HBO better than NBC, ... I think that Stern's content probably is a better fit for satellite radio than regular radio.

I talk to Joe on a pretty regular basis. I talk to him about situations and advice. I'm anxious to see him. He's always been good to me as a player, as a coach. He gave me a ton of responsibilities last year. He's someone you can model yourself after, not only as a manager, but as a person.

I suspect that with the underlying database publicly available, it is just a matter of time before the ex-post results of analysts recommendations are compiled and published on a regular basis, ... I venture to say that with such transparency, the current upward bias of analysts' earnings projections would diminish rather rapidly.

It addresses the bye issue, but then again it puts the No. 8 seed playing the No. 1 seed in Week 1 of the playoffs. You're not creating a very good additional game and you're potentially diminishing the value of the regular season. And that's the No. 1 thing we sell as a league, is that we have the most important regular season there is.

I think it's a good change. It's worth a try. If it doesn't work, we don't do it anymore. Getting this board out into the community on a regular basis can't be anything but a positive thing.

I think it's a big disadvantage because I think you need to be playing. It's one thing to practice. ... About six or seven years ago we had a similar situation. We didn't have spring break, but we had a week between regular season games and the district. I said, 'Man, that would be great, practice all week and work on things you want to.' We were flat as can be going into districts.

I think it just came to us. We did the same things we always do. I got some good looks. Allan got some good looks. It was just regular, it was our regular offense. It wasn't necessarily anything special we did.

I think it is better for the team to have a regular penalty-taker rather than me who hardly ever takes them for Real,

I think I recall that we lost our last couple games in the exhibition season, and we got off to a pretty good start with the regular season. These guys have been there. They know that this is when it all begins.

I think in the world of The Chase, Jack recognizes that you have to make changes earlier in the year than you would in years past. We are dealing with a 26-race regular season instead of 36 races. Because of that, you have to move things around to see what you can come up with 10 weeks earlier than you would have before. But I think anyone who has really watched our race teams closely this year knows that we have run better than the final numbers might look.

It could have been worse because my fast lap in regular qualifying was second fastest of all and that means I only drop down to start form the second row.

I thought Hartford finished strong in the regular season. I thought Larry did a good job.

I think you're locked in a trading range. The good news is, the consensus for now seems to be that if the Fed's done -- if it's not done, it's very close to being done -- so that relieves the interest rate pressures from the market. And you've ended the negative pre-announcement season. You're going into the regular announcement season, and earnings should be pretty good. And that should support the market,

I think you'll see that hunger and that desperation in the playoffs. But the trick is, you have to make the playoffs. You have to take care of business and survive the grind of the regular season.

I think the goal is to make sure that athletes, when they get out in the field, they're in good physical shape and in regular touch with their doctors. Kids grow so fast at that age in two years that it's good to have up-to-date information on those athletes.

I think the dual existence thing is a regular pastime for all human beings, and for that matter anything in this universe.
