“I know they discussed it at the Aug. 5 meeting and the June board meeting. There were no other meetings regarding Jack. I think they're just trying to give Jack time to have his fair trial that he deserves. They don't want the decision to be based on the determination of the court. They're looking at the whole picture.”
“There is a philosophy for every fight and a way to beat everybody. We collectively study the tapes. I don't do it myself. We put all that together and came up with a game plan. We're totally confident. Jeff is too strong. He's too fast. His determination and tenacious style are going to overwhelm this guy.”
“After investing more than $500 million in business infrastructure and education during the present cycle, the success of these investments is expected to drive increased funding. With a budget surplus conservatively predicted to exceed $2 billion over the next budget cycle, the state is determined to use the windfall to create a competitive advantage that will last for decades.”
“I thought he'd be a pretty good prospect. He had the heart and determination to learn. He was kind of like a sponge - he wanted to learn everything. Everything he's accomplished, he's accomplished in four years. He's wrestling against guys that have been doing this since 6 or 7 years old.”

“Certainly, I think that if someone has an eating disorder or we suspect they may have one and they are an athlete, they need to understand that we're not interested in interfering with their performance. But we need to determine to what degree is this going to hurt them ... and cause perhaps irreversible physical and emotional damage, and can we stop that from happening.”
“A huge amount of prospective buyers never ask why a seller is selling, but it immediately determines their level of motivation.

“It's amazing to think that a single piece of amber with a single spider in it can open up window into what was going on 20 million years ago.
