Counter Quotations | Page 2

We got done three times on the counter by an awfully good team and they managed to stick their chances away.

But the game can be very cruel sometimes like that and we were just on the wrong end of it tonight.

We have plenty of guys on offense who can play, we just need to find 11 who can do it together. I'm not sure they were on the field enough last week to know how they fit together.

Yes, I think it's a freedom of expression issue. My feeling is the best way to counter bad speech is with more speech.

We did our job and took the points and we're happy with that. This is just as important a win as any other even if the game wasn't particularly attractive.

They were happy to sit back and let us come at them and that meant the game wasn't too attractive, but we had to be on our guard against their counter attacks and we did that well.

We've said from the start that this is about securing affordable health care benefits for these workers. The changes the company made in the recent proposal still do not address our members' greatest concern -- health care. The $1,000 increase in the signing bonus was not the only addition in the company's proposal; there were several items that would severely hurt the members of this union. We have made a counter proposal and are awaiting a response from the company.

You don't need to be a fan of the show to understand what's going on in the game, ... but if you've watched the other seasons, you'll recognize the characters and the back story. And we even fill in a lot of the gaps that people have questioned. For instance, hardcore viewers have wondered how the president recovered, and why Jack's daughter Kim was suddenly working at the Counter Terrorist Unit. All the answers are covered in the game.

Trading over the counter for a company the size and importance of Coors is operating somewhere in the Stone Age.

When you're starting out, you basically have all these assumptions about what it means to be an artist or how to be a rock star. It took me years, through trial and error, to figure out what does work for me. So much of it is counter to the myth of the rock-star life.

We didn't play well. I asked the players to up their performance levels at the break. We gave the ball away too easily and when you push up you give the opposition too many chances on the counter if you lose the ball.

We're kind of waiting on a counter from them. We're still way early in the negotiations. We're just getting started. It's just a matter of trying to find some common ground and going to work on that common ground.

I have contempt for you!'

What they might lack in skills they make up for in heart. They each keep on coming back against tough opponents and want to learn to get better. Both Sean and Brady have great stamina and are beginning to bob and weave and counter punch much better. Sometimes you can take a kid like Brady who has natural talent and move him up to take on fighters with a little more experience.

Unless the Bush administration can successfully counter recent criticism, Bush and consumer confidence might continue to flounder. If so, the markets will justifiably worry about Bush's chances of re-election.

Blacks essentially play the race card, when necessary as a counter to white privilege.

Based on how I want them to play ? fast break, counter (attack)-type stuff ? I think we have to be fitter than last year. We're working them a little harder because we started (a week) earlier and we have these perfect conditions outdoors.

The second quarter results reflected the initial benefit of the cost-savings measures introduced in January, 2006.

These latest neutrals take their inspiration from the cosmetics counter in both color and purpose.

We will likely hold an international forum for representatives of business circles, civil society and government bodies in Moscow in September. It is our opinion that it is impossible to counter this evil effectively without the assistance of civil society.

When I went into the computer shop to change my last laptop, the 19-year-old kid behind the counter looked at my six-year-old model and described it as 'vintage.' 'Vintage?' I wanted to scream. 'Son, I've got shirts older than you! I own underpants that have seen more of the world!'

So with different personnel, you can run the same play, but your option that might be one of your main options for one team, for the other team, it might be a whole totally different option. So they have a familiarity in knowing some things you want to run, some tendencies as far as what you're going to do. But we're kind of a counter puncher. You come out, we jab, we jab, we see what you're going to throw, and then we counter-punch that.

Coming in with a 2-11 record, for us to start a good like that was huge for our confidence. We've played in games this season not called as tight and we're not strong enough to counter that, so to get to the foul line and getting them off of us definitely helped our offense.

Our experience says prices do not go down when there's job creation in the local economy. In local markets where they are flat on jobs, they could see prices decline. But we're projecting 2.3 million new jobs this year. The job market is providing a buffer. It's a counter force to rising rates.

People do not realize how hard Williamson punches, ... He had a great game plan. He has great height and reach. I just cannot run out there and hit Williamson because he hits too hard.

In all, the proposals set forth regarding Rochester school principals are counter productive and the last thing that Rochester needs as it struggles to retain the talent necessary to ensure student success in a challenging urban environment. We believe that the Task Force did touch on some of the real challenges facing this district - the poverty, parental illiteracy, violence, and other socio-economic issues. Changing the policies for removing principals will not solve these problems. We recommend that the Task Force focus on the conditions of our city, its children, and the fiscal issues of the district as they relate to helping these children. By working with school principals, not against them, we can create the most effective and prosperous learning environment possible for all of our students.

At Arsenal we play a very attractive, offensive style so I always have to beware of counter attacks when you have to shift your position a lot more.

The new concept for department stores and specialty stores has to be a smaller footprint, shopping carts, a 'spoke and wheel' layout where an inner circle leads to an outer circle instead of the tiresome grid layouts, and central checkout systems.

Not everyone who wears a beard or is a Muslim is a terrorist. This unspeakable act was one of ignominy which totally ran counter to the principles of Islam.
