“It's a lot different than my freshman year. I just had to play quarterback. This year I have to know the defensive and offensive plays, all the special teams; there's not room for error. I have to know a lot. It's kind of fun getting to play a lot of positions.”
“Peter is a smart player. He can read the play and he doesn't have to run from one corner to the other. He always seems to be in good position. He's a guy who would rather pass than shoot. He's done exactly what I thought he would.”
“Settlement services are based on loan amounts. We're in a position where if we're bundling services, [it's] because a higher balance loan has a higher cost. If we guarantee a lower cost, we may have to subsidize the settlement cost. We want to reduce the settlement cost, but without bearing it.”

That's the ultimate, when you know you've had a positive impact on their lives.”
“Our research shows that 83% of leading companies indicate field service optimization is core to improving their competitive positions. True field service optimization requires service organizations to maintain the most cost-effective, productive, and profitable service chain at all times -- especially in the face of a myriad of constraints and interruptions.”
“People are looking for a Santa Claus rally, but I don't expect it's coming. The only real positive I saw today was some of the economic data. It's been a hard day to get excited about. We've seen some individual names get action, but nothing is carrying over.”
“What I'm trying to be is a missing link in the music industry today, ... There's not a lot of positive messages in music today. You hear a lot about shaking your booty and guns. You don't hear a lot of Stevie Wonder. I'm motivated to make a difference in the world and encourage youth to be who they are.”
“I've spoken with Jerome and he understands our position; he is being extremely professional about it. We've also had some conversation about Jerome staying on in the organization, doing some scouting for us, working in the community alongside John Starks and also possibly doing some work for MSG.”
