Brought Quotes
I have all the respect in the world for Rodney Harrison. I told him that when we brought him here, and he's made great contributions to this team. There's no question about it. Unfortunately, he had a tough setback last weekend and so did the team, but that's the way it is. We're playing San Diego this week. Unfortunately, he won't be with us. I wish he was, but he's not.

Decided Quotes
I had intended to serve one more term as mayor pro-tem, then retire from public service and move out to my farm in the county, ... But over the weekend I decided it would be better for Gray for me to spend this last four years as mayor. If I stayed as mayor pro-tem, it would be like I was condoning the way Mayor Briley is doing things, and I don't.

Car Quotes
I have lived all over this country and in several foreign countries but I had never tried urban living. When we'd visit our daughter in Portland, we'd have so much fun on the weekends. We didn't have to get in the car to go to the fish market, the bakery, the coffee shop, the farmer's market. We'd walk all weekend and never have to get in a car. It was so much fun. I thought that since we're going to be staying in Staunton, this project was our chance to give urban living a try.
-
Confident Quotes
I feel very confident that we have people that can come in and fill in. I don't have any problem with the whole situation. I think we'll be as competitive as we can be and I look forward to a good series. Good teams make adjustments and we're going to find out this weekend if we're that kind of team that can make adjustments irrespective of some of the things that we have to do.

Affected Quotes
I can't express my appreciation enough to all of the people who made a tremendous effort so that our audiences would still have the first opportunity to see this splendidly staged musical version of the Louisa May Alcott classic. I hope our patrons affected by this delayed opening will take the opportunity to attend one of the weekend performances, and understand the extraordinary circumstances that have allowed this to happen.

Attracts Quotes
From a multibillion-dollar tourism perspective here in the city, this is one of the most powerful national signals that we can have, because it is the first major sporting commitment since Katrina. It is an event that attracts thousands of people, it has exposure all over the world, and it puts a highlight that weekend on New Orleans as a destination.

Ability Quotes
I explained to them that sometimes they take basketball and the ability to play basketball for granted because they're young and healthy and invincible at that age. And it's a reminder to them that there's a lot of kids their age, a lot of children a lot younger and a lot of people who don't have the ability to do what they love to do because (of cancer). Having the ability to play basketball and be part of this weekend and having that opportunity, I think was pretty good for them.

Bit Quotes
Give those kids credit. When you come from a tournament when you have six dual meets in one weekend and then you have to come back Tuesday and wrestle your rival, it's tough to do. Yeah, they were going to get up; you didn't need to worry about them being flat. But they had a long weekend. Those kids had to come back and make weight. Give them a lot of credit for what they did and what they accomplished. We came out and did what we had to do. We just came up a little bit short.
-
Against Quotes
He has a very tough match this coming weekend against another freshman. If we can win some of those toss-up battles, and I consider that a toss-up, then I think we have a good chance to beat them this weekend. But if it goes the other way, it's going to be a tough, tough weekend for us. But we're ready for them. We've been progressing and getting better, and our freshman, sophomores are getting a little bit more battle-tested.
-
Audiences Quotes
This was not a weekend destined to be a blockbuster weekend. Really, really slow. Audiences seemed somewhat indifferent again. That's the scary part for the industry. It really takes a lot to get them out there to see a movie. It seems like any competition, like baseball, really cuts in big-time.
-
Attention Quotes
We took delivery of the Smart Cars over the weekend and have been getting interest everywhere we go -- left, front and center. As we were parking them in front of the dealership, they attracted so much attention they literally stopped traffic, and even caused a fender-bender as people were gawking at them. I drove by my son's elementary school and the teacher invited me to bring the Smart Car for show and tell!

Add Quotes
We are extremely excited to announce the Frozen Four Skills Challenge and look forward to this event. This should be an outstanding event featuring some of the top college hockey players in the nation, both male and female, and will add to the fan experience to make this into a full weekend of exciting hockey action.

Against Quotes
What we wanted to do from the outset to build this film up to create a powerful momentum has happened right on time. We wanted to peak this weekend so we could (drop) Columbus Day weekend when you've got the big guys 'Intolerable Cruelty,' 'Kill Bill' and 'Mystic River' facing us. I think we can fare very formidably against that competition.

Available Quotes
Having the program here on a weekend is a way for parents, who may not be able to get to the fairs, to have their children's information available in case it is needed. I was very pleased to see not only moms, but dads as well. I think the children really enjoyed it. This was a very good learning experience and will help us plan for next year.

Bit Quotes
He's doing better. He got here early today for treatment, he ran on the track, said he felt good. He just has a little bit of palpable soreness, really doesn't have any evident swelling. We're going to progress him over the course of the weekend in regards to his running and just take it day-by-day, see how he feels.

Basketball Quotes
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.

Against Quotes
This was a great day for our pitching staff. They really worked together today. We got timely hitting today which was something we didn't get last weekend against Arkansas. We played hard today and that was nice to see going into our series with Florida because Louisville is very similar to them.

Athletes Quotes
I would say there are several players coming off of last weekend that should be feeling confident. Confidence is a choice, and that's a matter of being able to block the distractions. Everybody has a poor performance. The better athletes know where to place that, learn from it and move on.
