Have some idea of how much you want to spend when you go into a contract with anyone. Allow approximately 10 to 20 percent of new housing costs for landscaping. Over 20 percent and you probably won't recoup the money invested.
Guys are always looking for the edge. I think they'll just find something else.
He's a big load down there. He came in with a look in his eye that he wanted to play hard. He was serious.
He's a great guy and a great player. I loved playing with him. He's a very competitive guy who did a great job handling the pitching staff. He was really swinging the bat well and I think he'll do a great job with the Cubs and have a great year.
He's advised the court what his name is. He's not required to do that under oath.
He's a gifted athlete, and just came out and played the game. Him coming in at running back shows what kind of talent he has. He's getting better with his receiving routes, and getting better running the ball.

From pink water bottles for breast cancer to dumping a bucket of ice water on your head for neuromuscular conditions, it seems we're bombarded by requests to be 'aware' of one thing or another.
We had our best two days of practice of the year on Saturday and Monday. We knew the key to this game was defense.
We had open looks all night long and the ball didn't fall for us. We told our team we'd be lucky to score 10 points per quarter. I told them I'd seen their coach at five of our ballgames.
