Jeff Parsons

Stark County's defense had a lot to do with how we ran our offense. We had no open looks on the perimeter and when we tried to get the ball down low they did a great job on Andy (Frank). That is the best defensive team I have seen in a long while.

P. Herbert

Some of the individual performances were great. Where was Andy Barron six months ago? It is a long time for us between now and the World Cup. We must use that to prepare as well as we possibly can.

Somehow, Andy has to turn it around so that instead of chasing Federer, he's making Federer beat him. I would probably say don't counter him. Play your game. Strengthen your weaknesses. Make him change his game. If you're on him at the net, he has to find something else.

Andy Reid

Reggie is well deserving of his Hall of Fame induction. In my mind, he will go down as the greatest defensive end in NFL history. He was a great teammate and a fun player to coach.

I don't consider myself to be incredibly confident, or really lacking in confidence. When you're on Jonathan Ross' or Graham Norton's show, inevitably there's something to sell.

Part of the reason why Stephanie was so successful last year was that she knew she had to step up. Molly wasn't going to be able to get it done and Stephanie looked at the situation and said 'I'm going to get it done.' She's been a great leader ever since she's been here. Last year, she finally had all the pieces together where she could do it on the track, too. What I expect of her isn't any more than she expects of herself. She expects to improve.
