It's something special. It's not just media hype. You can sense it with coaches and players. Then you get out into the community, and you realize what a huge game this is for both cities.
What you have is two men seeking the White House; they're both products of prominent New England families. They both went to private boarding schools. They both went to a prestigious university.
George Bush is trying to play it both ways.
You know, the irony is perfect. The world works in an interesting way, but we (were) both pretty busy that day.
It is always real good pitching and real good defense. There are pretty good pitchers on both teams. It is good baseball and it is fun to play against them.
I'm not going to lie I was a little nervous. I know Tommy has a lot of heart. It was hot out there, and both of them were tired. It could have gone either way. I'm glad Tommy pulled through, and it's good for him. He's a senior and has had a great four years here.
Harper Lee and Truman Capote became friends as next-door neighbors in the late 1920s, when they were about kindergarten age. From the start, they recognized in each other "an apartness," as Capote later expressed it; and both loved reading. When Lee's father gave them an old Underwood typewriter, they began writing original stories together.

Then some guys just walk away and feel great. They lose 50 or 60 pounds. Hopefully I can join that group and not the other group.

It's different kinds of strengthening things. Some things that are more specific to strengthen the things around your back, things you don't think about. I'm just going to see how I feel after today's practice.
I'm most proud of the fact I carried myself on and off the field consistently for what the NFL stands for.
Just looking at society as a whole, there are a lot of different things that we are not doing as a group to make sure we are close. Everything is in transit. People are moving from place to place. You can have a neighbor you live next to for five years and never speak to, and nobody has a problem with that.
Dont forget, I was the soft, pudgy kid in school that everyone made fun of.
