"It's like going from college basketball to the NBA. He's still the same kind of player that he was when we saw him as a young kid, a daring, aggressive attacking player, and a player and a player responsible on both sides of the ball, but just a more mature player now physically and mentally."
Quote by -Bruce Arena

Quote by -Bruce Arena
"For the first time ever, we are going to demand players have the discipline and commitment to actually maintain fitness. We have seen a wide range of attitudes and actual physical conditions with MLS players in the past, and if that is the case next time around they're not going to be eligible to make the World Cup roster."
Quote by -Bruce Arena
"The fact that he is the only three-time winner of the award is a testament to the consistency, commitment and dedication he has displayed throughout his career."
Quote by -Bruce Arena

Quote by -Bruce Arena
"Over the next month or so we'll really see the value the Gold Cup had for us. Because of injuries and suspensions, a few guys had to play a bit more than we anticipated, and that can only make our squad deeper in the long run."
Quote by -Bruce Arena
"The Gold Cup is the biggest headache on the schedule. We want to be respectful of the confederation championship and put our best team out there and try to win it. However, our focus has to be on World Cup qualifying. Those 10 games are the most important."
Quote by -Bruce Arena
"I named all my sons George Edward Foreman. And I tell people, 'If you're going to get hit as many times as I've been hit by Mohammad Ali, Joe Frazier, Ken Norton, Evander Holyfield - you're not going to remember many names.'"
Quote by -George Foreman
"I think that every boxer should understand he's on the pedestal for a short span. It's best that you use boxing and don't let boxing use you. Use boxing to sell, because people are selling you through your boxing career, so you have to learn to sell yourself, and you'll never starve."
Quote by -George Foreman
"When I step into the ring with someone, this has got to be their vacation spot, but my home turf. So I go the opposite side seven rounds doing the same thing. Skipping, skipping, skipping. Then I go seven rounds going both ways. Skip to the left, skip to the right."
Quote by -George Foreman
"He is just so, so fast, and has a great competitive spirit about him when he gets an opportunity to get in the football game."
Quote by -Marvin Lewis
"We didn't play very well on offense, defense and special teams. We didn't tackle, we didn't block, we didn't cover, we didn't punt. The fortunate thing is it doesn't count."
Quote by -Marvin Lewis
"I sensed a different guy on the practice field last week, a guy playing faster."
Quote by -Marvin Lewis
"It's up to him to tell me he's ready to practice seven days in a row, if that's what (the threshold) is. That's what was disappointing about last year: His stress fracture wouldn't allow him to work every day. And I said that I don't want to put pressure on the coaches. If he's in, he's in. He understands that."
Quote by -Marvin Lewis
"He did a fine job last night, probably his best game that I remember where he didn't have eight to 10 catches because he hustled his tail off, he blocked. So as I watched that tape this morning, I was proud of Chad Johnson for how he played."
Quote by -Marvin Lewis
"I'm excited. I'm different than I was against Denver (2003). Last year we played on Sunday night (against Miami). That was something new and neat for our guys."
Quote by -Marvin Lewis
"Why would I want our game in Pittsburgh to be there on a Thursday night to open the season? (It favors the home team), particularly coming off a world-championship season."
Quote by -Marvin Lewis
"We have a plan. Some of it can be the game plan, some of it can be the opponent, where other guys are at the position health-wise. Sunday morning we should be pretty close. I want to make sure the guys who should be OK and ready to go are OK and ready to go."
Quote by -Marvin Lewis
"In a lot of their games this year they've got right down the field early and scored,"
Quote by -Marvin Lewis
"Our team needed to win games, ... As I said a zillion times, we could not afford to lose football games and having somebody to blame. All that would've done is give people an excuse to say, 'They're losing because of the quarterback position.'"
Quote by -Marvin Lewis
"He's just a phenomenal athlete and has very quick feet, good speed and he has the desire to catch the ball."
Quote by -Marvin Lewis
"They'll keep playing. We didn't play well at the beginning of the game and were playing uphill. But we kept playing and hanging in there together."
Quote by -Marvin Lewis
"Our focus has been geared toward beginning our season better than we did the last two seasons. We get an opportunity here to write that script as we go week in and week out."
Quote by -Marvin Lewis
"We didn't play very well in the beginning of the game and were playing up hill."
Quote by -Marvin Lewis
"We dug ourselves a hole with field position in the first half. We didn't play very well at the beginning of the game and we were playing up hill."
Quote by -Marvin Lewis
"I think it's the role of the offensive coordinator, the special teams coordinator and the defensive coordinator to coach the coaches as hard as he coaches the players. As hard as I push on them, they've got to push everybody else just as hard. I think that's important that they understand in and out that they set up, they push and make sure that the position coaches cover every detail or they cover it so that every detail gets covered."
Quote by -Marvin Lewis
"Obviously you draft a player, (and) you really, really, really like the player. You really, really want to coach him."
Quote by -Marvin Lewis
"I think what he's been able to do is have a good plan for the team and set a direction -- set it on Wednesday and reinforce it throughout the week. Then, as the game unfolds, things that come up don't put them in a panic. They are able to stay the course."
Quote by -Marvin Lewis
"As a player and a person, Carson has met and gone beyond every expectation I had for him. For myself as the head coach, I'm excited about the commitment the club has made to Carson and about Carson's commitment to the organization and to the city of Cincinnati."
Quote by -Marvin Lewis
"Tyler Howells made a play that was just great. But as a coach, I was still worried with 10 seconds left."spo
Quote by -Rick Comley
"They're obviously a battle-tested team and we knew coming into here that they're a big-game program. Their experience I thought was a factor. They got the jump on us before we could settle down. This was a learning game for us and hopefully we can take it to the next level."
Quote by -Rick Comley
"It's what you want from a good league and good balanced competition. It should be a whale of a hockey game."
Quote by -Rick Comley
"You always like to control your own destiny and we do that by playing teams that we need to beat."
Quote by -Rick Comley
"I've never coached a player in 34 years who prepares like he prepares. To the detail, to the consistency, to how much he stresses the importance of getting himself into his game mode."
Quote by -Rick Comley
"Any top-level team has to have an offensive catalyst on defense, and that's something we've lacked since John-Michael Liles graduated (in 2002). We recruited Tyler because wanted him to run the power play, but it took some time."
Quote by -Rick Comley
"It's a log jam and obviously every game is very important. The mindset is so important because every game is going to be tough to win."
Quote by -Rick Comley
"I thought that was a game we could have gone up by certainly at least two, maybe three (goals). But we couldn't get the puck in the net."
Quote by -Rick Comley
"I thought we played really well. You don't beat a quality team like Michigan without playing very, very well."
Quote by -Rick Comley
"They've had trouble scoring and they've got some injury situations. I expect it to be a defensive game. I think we'll see some fallback and some neutral zone trapping."
Quote by -Rick Comley
"They're an older, bigger, stronger team, and those teams have given us a little bit of trouble at times because we're a younger team."
Quote by -Rick Comley
"It's not just winning games. It's the way he's pitched. He's been pretty dominant. I've seen guys win a lot of games before. But with the exception of Vida Blue in 1971, I've never seen a guy that has controlled the game, game after game after game, like he has."
Quote by -Dave Duncan
"As I told Flores, if we were playing a different team, we may have gone a different direction."
Quote by -Dave Duncan
"We have the toughest program now in American sports, ... and I'm proud of that."
Quote by -Bud Selig
