Greg Johnson Quotations

We are going to stand fast and see that due process is carried out, recognizing the fact that there are some problems in that regard.

We're exploring an opportunity for Eric to play for the Texans. If all sides can see eye-to-eye, we'll make it happen. But everyone has to see eye-to-eye.

Ultimately, first and foremost, you're looking out for the well-being of your family. That comes before the game or a possible suspension or anything else. I don't know all the details (about Davis), but I have no problem with a guy going up there and trying to protect his family. He seemed to be very much in control. He was just concerned. How can you blame the guy?

We tried to approach it as a zero-zero game that we needed to win outright. But as it turned out, we needed that goal. It was a different way to win a game, but we'll take it.

Let him go, it's only fair. If they're not going to pay what we feel is fair-market value, he should be allowed to go somewhere where he could maybe get it.

Now that we're tied in points with 33 games left, we've got as good an opportunity as we've ever had to finish ahead of them. Against a team like Detroit, that gives you some confidence to go forward. There's still a long way to go, but (the two wins) sure don't hurt.

I was focused, it was just me and the rim.

I was shocked by the size and the fact they were really into the game. It brought back some great memories and hopefully it's a sign of good things to come.

I expect them to come out really hungry and with a lot of energy. That's certainly usually the case when you change coaches. There's a little fear of the unknown and you're always trying to impress the new guys.

If would be very big news nationally if we got positive results from grasshoppers.

He is now happy that this is behind him. He's looking forward to getting back on the football field, but as it stands Sunday, he'll be a fan and cheer on the team.

Having the (Pacific Life Open) tournament there provides a certain amount of synergy.

There is an elevated avalanche danger, and it's going to stay that way for a little while.

Hurricane Carla, it was kind of like Katrina, and I'm from La Grange originally, and it came all the way up into there and I remember that from being little so it's not the first time. I'm aware of what weather can do.

He wanted a minute to look at the injury and that kind of got blown out of proportion. That's why he was out. That's probably the biggest mystery to all of this.

I think the opportunity for flies to pick this up may be feeding on saliva, but we're not 100 percent sure.

I think they're not going to hold anything back,

Just because we lost Tomas, our goals haven't changed at all.

I think Eric would like to stay. He's big on loyalty. But it's got to make good sense for both parties. It's got to be truly, truly a win-win situation.

I think Eric is due that respect by the Buffalo Bills. We need to find out what his fair market value is and we're going to determine that by finding what other teams out there are willing to pay him. ... We'll never determine that if we just continue to go back and forth with the Buffalo Bills.

Lincoln had already played two games before they played us, and we were chomping at the bit excited to play our first game. We had guys 30 who are returning, and they were slobbering at the mouth. We wanted to play an opponent - we didn't care who it was. We jumped on them early, and they were already down. We kept them down, basically.

Yeah, it's done. I'm ecstatic. I'm relieved, happy and thankful that all parties came to an agreement.

Those guys should feel good about the way they played. This is a very tough team in a very tough building.

When a threat of such a nature is leveled against anyone, especially on state property, you should expect the state police to come investigate.

We're coming out of a lockout year, attendance is up and you're looking at a lot of hockey coverage in the Olympics, so it couldn't have come at a worse time. Hopefully a lot of great hockey will help people forget about it.

You look at the way that guys have stepped in and played this season and it just shows the depth in the organization. Everyone has come in and contributed, and that's kind of what you're looking for on a good team.

Today was pretty encouraging. She understands the etiquette of the track and how to avoid collisions. I feel a lot more positive about it, and probably less concerned about potential accidents or injury.

We were within one and didn't cash in on the full two minutes of 5-on-3. From there they got a lot of momentum and kind of just took the wind out of our sails.

We would much rather have Eric released. If we can work out a trade, we will. But if not, ... Eric won't play for the Bills.

There can be a tendency to stand around and watch those guys as opposed to contributing on your own. That's why every player has to stay focused and do his job responsibly. As great as any player is, you still need 20 to win.

Thornton is probably the best player in the game. He is their key guy. He can do everything. He's got size and skill and can pass and score.

We are shopping Eric. Obviously, we would much rather have Eric released. But if we can work out a trade, we will. But if not, we're back to Square 1 and Eric won't play for the Bills. He doesn't want to play for them, and he will not play for them.

The parents should have been notified. I was never notified, and that concerns me.

We always wanted to see the Tennis Garden utilized for something besides tennis, ... This is very good news and we hope to see more of (these events) in the future.

With the addition of Lisa to the team we continue to build our knowledge regarding how consumers think and make purchase decisions.

We wanted to provide them with the greatest encouragement, that the city of Indian Wells and PM Sports are working together, ... And we reached terms so they can feel confident coming in, that this is a good deal for them. We set the stage for it to be a good deal economically.

What's very disturbing to me, is that there were administrators who were around who heard everything that happened in the hallway and they were not asked to give statements. Then this young lady disappeared for an hour and a half and returned to school. The police were called and she was not found. When the police left, she turned up. I'm very disturbed by that.

What's unique about suggesting that grasshoppers are carriers is they are herbivores. They don't feed on blood.

We feel like we're absolutely going nowhere. We respectfully disagree with the Buffalo Bills.

We went to sites Monday and Tuesday and we didn't find any biting flies. Is it odd? We don't know. We don't know the particular cycle of the flies in these areas.

Both are fairly fast and have good size. It's nice to have (those types of players) in the back.

At this moment, the way I feel, I don't see where it's going to affect us because we're too far apart. It's day and night. It's not $1 million. We're millions apart.

Coming here eight years ago, I never would have guessed I would have played 500 games here. That's certainly something to be proud of. Being here and going through the growth pains and tough years, this means a little more.

Eric is looking forward to being a Buffalo Bill, as he always has. A Buffalo Bill for life.

I still don't think we're played our best game. I still feel like we can improve. But we're getting a little better every game.

It would be an insult to the African-American community if this isn't pursued. These weren't idle threats. The girl truly fears for her life.

Sometimes when teams get a little streak on you, they get a little mental edge and that that can be tough to turn around. I've been on both sides of that.

Right now, they all have a lot of condition and base training to do.

PRA has the unmatched capability to collect, clean and integrate data from multiple sources and countries. Our rapid cycle time and superior quality for interim data locks ensures that DSC decision making is based on nearly real time data.

People are used to not paying for things on TV. They're used to watching Saturday Night Live for free.

Coming out of the Olympic break, we played a crummy first game in Chicago. But since then, we've really been playing very well and I think our confidence is extremely high right now.

Anybody that has the home team crowd is always going to have an advantage. But you can use that as an incentive... You've got to play the cards you're dealt.

The bottom line is they want Eric to take a drastic cut and we don't feel his skills have diminished to justify that. It's just not going to work.

The bounces that had been going our way aren't right now. When that happens, you usually just have to simplify things and go to the net. A lot of times you'll get out of a rut with an ugly goal or one that bounces in off someone else.

This is no time for us to panic or get tight. Every team has to deal with this kind of thing at some point in the season. It's how you deal with it that determines where you go.

They've filled every inch of space they currently lease in our project and other projects where they have space,

They still don't communicate as well with each other as I'd like. Both of them do the same thing at times and (get confused) on which one should go do what.

It's just a question of developing. It'll be good for them to get a little experience.

It was our safest quarter horse meet, ... There were very few incidents, very few breakdowns on the track. I would hesitate to swap surfaces.

It is very early to tell. There are three teams out there. It is very choppy hockey. It is tough to really judge a lot of what is going on out there.

It passes all the boundaries, not just race and education. These are people, and people are complicated.

It's time to move on. Eric loves Buffalo and we wish things could be worked out. But I don't see that happening.

It's the evolution of our team, trying to go to that next level. It's a natural progression, and our next goal is win a series and go from there.

That just continues to show the evolution of this team. As a team, we're always trying to go to the next level and this is just a natural progression. Our next goal is to win a playoff series and then we'll go from there.

It's moving forward to a degree and we anticipate something happening.

The African-American community has a grave interest in the outcome of this case.

It'll probably take two minutes to tell my entire life story. You've been misled down the wrong path.

I've known them for years. It's like a homecoming for me going back to the SWAC. It gives me a little insight because I had gone against Coach Thomas when he was at Pine Bluff and Valley. When I was at Jackson State, he was at Alcorn. Coach McKenzie, going up against him the last couple of years, I've got a pretty good idea of what to expect from them and the players they're playing with.

It was a good year, so for it to end like this is so disappointing. Our expectations were higher and this was not acceptable.

It's time for us to wake up and realize that the playoffs are about to start. We're battling for position and there's no easing into the playoffs.

They've really been shoe-horning people into the space they've got in their headquarters building. I suspect they are relieving some of that pressure.

In most places, IT is simply viewed as a cost, ... exactly what they are getting for their dollars.

I know they've got to call things tighter and we have to adjust. But this is a contact sport. There's a fine line there. We don't want to drive fans away because of all the whistles and penalties.

I like playing with those guys because they can do a bit of everything. They're solid on the walls, they always make the smart plays, they're good defensively, and they can create things in the offensive zone.

I'm concerned with maintenance and safety, ... I'm more concerned about safety than how fast a horse is going. We're not losing race dates here. There's no problem with our surface.

If the opportunity is there, I do enjoy it here. It's a great team and there's a great foundation. If we talk and they want me back, I'd certainly want to.

I think not cashing in on that five-on-three when we were down by one, and then having them score just a few seconds afterward really hurt. It gave them a lot of momentum.

He's just a load. He can move - he can really move. I was surprised.

Hopefully we'll catch them after Donald Carrie. It's like life after Robert Kent (for Jackson State). They're struggling, and teams go through that. We'll try to take advantage of that and go after their quarterbacks. We'll try to keep them frustrated.

I don't think if he comes back and scores 12 points a game, the brand is going to die,

Generally we would have more projects spread (around the area), but the I-94 project is taking up a lot of dollars. That's where the major work is.

He came up with some big saves. Manny did to us tonight what our goalies have been doing to other teams.

You can't take away from the record we'd put together, but it's true that we'd struggled against some of the good opponents. Hopefully this will give us a little confidence.

The information relayed was disturbing to the African American community. These are threats we heard in the early 1960s. For them to be swept under the rug would be an insult to the black community and the state Department of Education.

The Detroit games were great to talk about, but it doesn't make any of the other games less important.
