break broke gave good lead took
I don't know if we broke their back. They (Meridian High) are too good a team, you don't ever break their back. It took a lot out of them, gave us the lead and gave us a little momentum.
coaching kids miss
I don't know if you miss the coaching as much as you miss the kids. The kids are what it is all about.
game great played reason
He's the reason we went into overtime. He played a great game for us.
seen
I just hadn't seen anything like that on TV.
dallas gave handled number picked yankee
I just picked up the phone. Actually, it was not that easy. I called Yankee Stadium, and they gave me a number of a person in Dallas that handled all his relationships.
knew teams
I knew it was going to be a one-goal game. These teams are that close.
against good scoring
And you just can't (commit turnovers) against a good opponent. Scoring opportunities you've got to get them.
audience audiences dress generate help money nice opportunity rehearsal separate
It's an opportunity to give back. They're going to do it anyway, so why not do a dress rehearsal with a live audience and generate some money too. It's two separate entities, but it's the arts. It's nice that one can help the other.
bigger good lovely race rather running seven three
It would have been lovely to have two or three more runners, obviously, but we'd rather have a good race with seven than not such a good race with a bigger field,
came hard played whipped
They came over here and played hard and whipped us. They wanted it a lot more than we did.
compared help knew load looking people piece rather small
It's a small piece compared to what people are looking at down south. If I knew something I could do to go load up and help people, I'd rather be doing that than practicing.
conversation hands work
Put (your partner) to work right away, even if it doesn't matter. If you're in there with your hands dirty, conversation comes a lot more easily. It removes a lot of the pressure.
coaching escort guess hall tickled year
(Rosetta) started the same year at the Tribune as I did coaching in 1964. ... Rosetta is the one that called me. He said, 'Ted, you will never guess what.' I said, 'What?' He said, 'Finally, way, way, way overdue, you've been inducted into the Hall of Honor, and I get to escort you.' He was as tickled as I was.
beforehand pieces putting watching
(Romantic meals) are really about putting the pieces together. You can do it beforehand while watching football.
