advantage brian course eyes improvement knew last player seeing special surprised training week
I wasn't surprised by Brian at all today. I could see it in his eyes last week that he was up for this game.

I was never a huge 007 fan, but I sure liked Sean Connery. I'm sure Pierce Brosnan is good and has his moments, but I've not seen him; I've only seen bits and pieces on TV, so I can't really judge. Pierce looks very natural in the role.
