Sean Sweeney Quotations

I was kind of thrown in there after running scout team most of the year, and I wasn't really prepared,

I think they picked an awful day weatherwise, but it doesn't seem to have dampened the crowd at all. I haven't had to wait in line all day.

Some of our soccer has been a negative surprise for us, because there is so much geographic blocking.

The parents were in the process of loading the stove into the car in the back yard when they heard the girl screaming.

Unfortunately, buildings are going up and getting higher. You can't expect to have a clear view forever from an apartment in New York City.

Blocking on a country level is now known to work well. Where it gets harder is to block within a country, like the U.S. When you're looking at Internet addresses, it's hard to say whether someone's in Philadelphia or New York.

Flag staff tips to bayonets to sabers is really the lifeblood (of the Lawrence Civil War Memorial Guard).

This isn't the way I hoped to get an opportunity, because we're all real close, ... I would have liked to be in there from the get-go. All I can ask for is a shot, no matter how you get it. This is my chance, and I really want to make good on it.

The fairgrounds do a wonderful job, without question. This is a beautiful place to run. I can't believe nobody thought to run here before we did six years ago. Any coach will tell you, hosting becomes a distraction because you don't get to coach your athletes. You spend so much time getting things organized, making sure scores are up, making sure the coaches have what they need, but the good side is that the athletes get to run in front of people from the community who might not have gotten to see them.

In the last ten years, it has become the playground for the tri state. Mardi Gras last 12 days, but down here it lasts 365 days a year. People are moving out; they can't sleep. It is ruining our quality of life.

The ideal scenario would be being the No. 1 tight end, ... It stinks to put in all the work and not play. When they told me they wanted to try me at defensive end, I said, 'If it'll get me on the field, I'll do it.'
