almost bench came carried four hit michele points rebounds saved shooting tonight

We weren't shooting very well, and she came in and hit some threes and got four rebounds. The bench carried us tonight.

But when you speak of quarterbacks, it's automatically a default that you're supposed to be a leader. Cam Newton

Nina Bawden

These days when you say 'videogame', people think of immersive games that take over your life and require three thumbs to control. My goal is to create games that almost retreat into the background.

I've heard that almost all the people crowding around the big art openings barely look at the work on display and are just there to hobnob.
