Jerry Austin

I might slip every once in a while, but you will not see me dog-cussing a player out. I'm cautious. I barely even talk to the kids after the game. It's tough, and I hate to see what happened to (Dustin) because he's so young.

Dave Kerschbaumer

Colin Clarke

Just having a look at some different options. Steve played out there (at right back) in L.A. and did a good job and he did a good job tonight. I thought Bobby was great in front of him, he could have scored another two or three he got forward well. It's a more solid look, just to have a look at it going into the playoffs and just open our options up.

David Perno

That was a good effort all the way around. Gentry got a good break on it and I thought he was going to make a great play, but Bobby was running right out of the box. If he's not hustling right out of the box, he doesn't make that happen.

Paul Henderson

That's the way Bobby Clarke played the game and I would suggest he was the only one of the 35 players that would have gone out and done that. But we looked at it as war.

John Grahame is licking his chops to compete for that spot.

Jeff Foxworthy

Jeff puts his relationship first and foremost and realizes I do the same, so he really watches out for me and makes sure I don't have to do anything on the show that would upset David. I was warned when I started a sketch comedy show that they could be cutthroat, but it's been like a family.

Rob Bibler

That's a wonderful film a lot of people love for the comedy and drama of it.

It goes without saying that before its culture and literature can continue to evolve, Latvia first must endure the political comedy of creating a stable, functioning and unthreatened democracy.

It's a very complicated topic.

Patent infringement is a reality in the wireless space. It's an operating distraction, yes. There are only so many fights that you can pick. Though in a way, it also has a value because it ultimately shows people the value of what's being developed in this space and how important it is.

Billy Beane

Paul has seen the ups and down of developing young players and trusting the three, four years they've had in the minor leagues and discounting their first few months in the majors.

Reggie needs to not always look for the 3-pointer. He's got to play off that dribble, take it to the hole, which he's done more lately. A mid-range game opens up the 3-point shot. It makes him a more versatile player. And he needs to be a screener, because screeners get open. But it's getting better.

Lana Ross

Our region is tough. We're going with the same lineup to give our players a lot of at bats. Right now, we're sore. We've played a lot of games with a little rest. Our pitchers are doing just enough and Maple Woods is a good team.

Being a stand-up comic, this isn't a stepping-stone for me; it's what I do, and this is what I'm always going to do. And even if I do a TV show, the only reasons to do a TV show is to get more people to know me to come out to my stand-up shows.
