Chris Phillips Quotations

One thing was on my mind the whole time: the mud pit. Plus, it was hot, and I was ready for a little cool down.

On Sunday (Jan. 22) afternoon we received reports from voters saying they got a negative voice message. The calls solely talked about Tony, using intense language - it was a negative personal attack.

Basically, we spend every waking hour and every dime we make trying to be something we're not, ... Fake hair, fake teeth, fake tans, fake boobs.

I faced these guys about two weeks ago and I got ahead early with a lot of fastballs. After the first inning, I realized that I wasn't going to be able to do that, so I had to mix it up. It kept them off balance and really confused their hitters.

He's a big part of our team, not to mention that I'll have to play with a different guy.

I think I heard a few boos after I missed because they were going to miss out on their pizza, so I was definitely happy to see us get the next one.

We are beyond excited. The whole point and basis of our show, mainly, is really positive energy ... It's more like a motivational experience than a concert.

We know those are games that are going to go on off the ice, but it shouldn't have any effect on what happens.

The Patrons are quite sad, we're sad. But it's gonna be one hell of a party, to be quite honest with you.

The defense has been great all year, they have kept us in every game.

The race was fun, but the fish tacos and the beer garden helped, too. It was that kind of race. Just fun.

We were driving down the street one day, and said, 'We gotta learn to rap if we're gonna be in music today.' I was a paralegal, she was working in a hair salon. Now we're a million-dollar-a-year business and fly all over the country. We're also going to be in Vegas on a permanent basis beginning in April, going back and forth from Phoenix every week. We'll be hooking up with that new George Clooney hotel he's building there.

This win could not have been much bigger. We put ourselves into a hole losing to Jacobs earlier in the year and did not have room for a down game.

And we've been getting a lot of quality shots.

It would be a good achievement for us. If we won (the trophy), it would just be something else that we could take into the playoffs with us, but the more important thing for us is to be playing well.

Sometimes our passing was without a purpose. When we did pass with a purpose, we were very good, but not nearly long enough.

Defense was the key to our success, the defense has been solid all year.

They (the board) saw some great leadership capabilities in him.

They're really pushing us, too. They've put up billboards on the freeway. Ads on the backs of taxi cabs. TV and radio commercials. Newspaper and magazine ads all over the country. Things just blew up for us all of a sudden. They're actually trying to make us into real stars.

About half the time we played well. The other half, Elk Grove put the pressure on us. Both teams were unhappy to tie, but both teams played well at times.

It's a short tournament. If you don't have it, you don't have much time to find it.

It's a little sad. I'm proud to have been able to bring something like that to the area. To leave it when it's finally becoming quite popular is a little odd and a little unusual. But it's something that needs to be done. The opportunity that has come about is just way too attractive.

(The NHL is) trying to create more excitement around the games u not that we need that (against the Leafs), but it's definitely exciting.

It's definitely different, ... All the mud and the water and the obstacles, it makes you not feel the pain of running. Well, you still feel the pain, but it's more fun.

It's better already. I should be okay for Game 5.

It's huge. Obviously, I'm the last guy with the big goose egg, and it seemed like it was getting talked about more and more. ... It's nice to not have a zero sitting there.

It was a great passing game for us,

If you look at the guys that are injured, that's a lot of firepower, a lot of points we're missing. A lot of nights, their talent just takes over and gets you goals. That's why we had to be smarter about not giving up as many chances.

The major reaction when EA announced their exclusive deal in December was, 'God, this is a huge loss, not just for sports games but for the industry in general,'

The good thing is, I had the whole net to shoot at. I was starting to wonder what it was going to take and I didn't like having that goose egg next to my name. If I had missed that one, I really would have had problems.
