Field Quotations | Page 3

Enron Field in Houston, the Trans World Dome in St. Louis and PSINet Stadium in Baltimore are just three of the modern-day coliseums named for companies that have found new homes in bankruptcy court.

My main focus is always to do well on the field for the Indian cricket team. When people say good things about me off the field, I am more than happy to accept them.

I think the media can be a very positive influence by essentially holding people to task about the importance of high quality medical care. And when the media is scrutinizing you, then I think that's a very good, positive thing for the field of medicine.

When I was in college, I learned to really take care of my body and figured out what works best for me and what doesn't work for me when it comes to my nutrition. That helped so much on the field because soccer is such a fitness-oriented game.

Some honor Cummings as the granddaddy of all American innovators in poetry and ascribe to him a diverse progeny that includes virtually any poet who considers the page a field and allows silence to be part of poetry's expressiveness.

I get paid to do what I love. If you understand physics, the foundation of the atomic theory and relativity, you understand how the future is going to unfold. You understand what things are not possible. You understand why things work. I get paid to do what I love the most, and that is to work on the Unified Field Theory and to see the future.

If you get so unequal that people believe they don't have a chance, that the field isn't level for them and their children, that puts democracy at risk.

The funny thing is, I sometimes get the impression that some people outside of the field think that there's some element of security that we have in working on a theory that hasn't made any predictions that can be proven false. In a sense, we're working on something unfalsifiable.

I lost my job in the most public way possible, and the press had a field day with it all over the world. And guess what? I'm still here.

My overall goal is to level the playing field for American businesses.

I knew I loved football before I even played it. Uh, but the first time I stepped out on the field playing for the Lakeshore Redskins, I knew that I loved this game. I knew that this was something I wanted to do. And I was only 6 years old, but I loved it.

I've followed Notre Dame football since 1946, when I listened on the radio and Johnny Lujack tackled Doc Blanchard in the open field to preserve a 0-0 tie.

The best advice I was probably given and the best advice I could give someone who is trying to get into the comedy field is to take advantage of every opportunity you have to work to hone your skills.

No matter what engineering field you're in, you learn the same basic science and mathematics. And then maybe you learn a little bit about how to apply it.

There is no common sense in going to the field to fight and leaving a man at home to undo all that you accomplish.

Politics is the one field you don't age out of.

more detailed field analysis of soil and water quality is needed to gauge the exact state of rehabilitation.

My back, I'm not even thinking about it. That first practice, I thought about it a little bit. That was the first time I put pads on since the surgery and did some hitting. But, I'm fine. I'm on the field practicing with the guys. There's nothing like it. I'm moving around good, just knocking the rust off.

mWholesaler will enable our retail mutual fund sales team to be more efficient, both internally and externally, ... Our mobile field reps can easily view and update client report details at any time and from any location. Additionally, sales management can view the latest sales activities and make better decisions based on that information.

I was real pleased with the way we were playing defensively, and we were passing it around pretty well too, so we switched the field on them well. We finally got the goal. That's what kind of broke the game open.

I was five under on that hole for the week with an eagle and three birdies. But there you go. This was strongest field in the world this year...and to almost win is fine.

I was fortunate enough to be there for Ernie, Billy and Ron, ... I was on the field for all those ceremonies, not even thinking I would have a day that would come like today but just taking it in. To be in their company and to join them means everything to me.

I was going to Columbia Pictures and Eastman Kodak had a class going for cameramen. I signed up to be a field cameraman. I showed this film to my professor and he showed it to Frank Capra.

One of the disconcerting things about writing for publication is that you're trying to clear your little parcel of land in a field where Taste is king - and, as we all know, there's no accounting for Taste.

One thing is when she steps out on the field whether it's practice or a game she'll put her best effort out. Sometimes I see girls become seniors and because they've been playing their whole life they get a little burned out. Liz still has that enthusiasm to play, has a good attitude and kept everything in perspective.

Only days after we fully complied with a NAFTA decision, Canada responds by announcing huge new subsidies. Canada's actions illustrate what the United States has been saying all along: the Canadian industry is the beneficiary of subsidies that create an un-level playing field to the detriment of the U.S. industry.

My sense is that there are enormous opportunities in loss prevention because the field is just exploding.

My team is the Red Sox. At center field there?s Coco Crisp, at right field is Manny Ramirez, at third is Mike Lowell, and at catcher there?s J.M.

Personally, I would be resistant to that and I believe that in listening to my colleagues on the committee, there doesn't seem to be a lot of momentum in that direction. I think that over the last two years there is a certain magic that has evolved over the course of this tournament, and I wouldn't want to fool around with that in the short term in regards to expanding the field in any way.

One of the most exciting things about this transaction related to the music business, ... Through AOL and through the Internet, you have a worldwide opportunity to promote. The music business is built on signing new acts, and this new society has a vast field of which to choose. Also, music lends itself to the digital downloading and more efficient delivery of music.

One of the great difficulties as you rise up through an organisation is that your prior competencies are exploded and broken apart by the territory you've been promoted into: the field of human identity.

One of the reasons why we want to play in this tournament when we're eligible is because it's usually a good field and you end up playing pretty good teams. You find out quickly early in the season where you stand. We're a lot better today than we were last week.

One of the big problems with the conflict resolution field and one of the real challenges is to move beyond its table-oriented view of itself.

One of the cardinal features of addiction is how long-lived it is, ... A key question in the field has been: By what mechanisms do drugs of abuse cause changes in the brain that last this long?

Only youngsters may hunt this day and it is a week before the season opens for all other waterfowl hunters, so young people should have a really good hunting experience. I would really encourage parents and other adults to get young hunters into the field that day to enjoy a day of hunting.

On the field everybody needs to be on the same page, that's the only thing I concern myself with. You're not here to put up stats. You're here to win.

On the field, he kind of means everything.

On the field, he's not that mild-mannered and that's even better.

On that play, you have to give Coal City's safety credit. We planned earlier to use that play and we kept our tight end to block. Carpenter noticed that and drifted over to the middle of the field for the interception. We dug ourselves a tough hole but we survived.

Only the most technologically savvy universities are able to compete in the field of drug discovery and bioinformatics. Georgia Tech's focus on top-of-the-line technology and research facilities and the attraction of Dr. Jeff Skolnick and other world-class scholars will raise its presence in this competitive market and attract some of the nation's brightest students to join our research team to advance medicines that will improve the well-being of people everywhere.

On paper, we're the best team in the league. We'll find out what that means if we get our field cleared off for Delta.

Ninety-nine percent of the work in stem cells does not involve cloning. This episode will have little impact on pace of research in the field as a whole.

I workout two times a day and everything has been going great. I'm ready to get to Indianapolis and show the NFL teams what I can do on the field and what kind of person I am off the field. I've heard that it is basically a four-day job interview, but thanks to the preparation I received from my family and from all of the people at Texas, I feel pretty confident.

I would always play the striker, so I would be running down the field back and forth almost the entire game, and man by the end, that was quite a workout.

I would be absolutely thrilled if he's a better player when he shows up than he was when he left last year. Lopez needs a better focus. He needs to stay in the center of the field with his hitting. We really need to stay on him every hour of every day to stay in the middle of the field and stay focused on what it is he's trying to accomplish.

I wouldn't use the word normalcy as much as this week is going to be more convenient for us. The normalcy issue is we've never played in this stadium before. We've never come here on a game day. We didn't get the numbers and hash marks on the field until a couple days ago. We have to double up in our locker room and give the other half to Buffalo. So this is going to be a brand new environment for all of us.

I was somewhat resistant to doing that because I really wanted to do field work.

I was somewhat surprised by some of the things that I was doing on the field last year, ... I would be turning a corner and was like, 'Wow, I made that play, all right. I can do these things, I can have longer runs and I'm doing it on the big stage now.'" ()

I was surprised and taken aback that he was using steroids, because I never thought about him being a person that might be a steroids user. I always admired him for the way he went about his work, the way he performed on the field and the way he conducted himself off the field.

I was running across the field right at two players and I hit both of them and I didn't slow down. I caught them sideways. It even hurt me a little. I was seeing stars for a few seconds.

If we get our trap going inside, it helps us a lot. We thought we'd run the ball, eat up the clock and keep their offense off the field because they have some good athletes on offense.

I guess I can utilize that side of the field more. I feel like I'm hitting the ball hard every time. That's key in putting pressure on the defense.

I was pleased with our runners, just across the board in different events. In field events, we had good individual efforts, but we're still looking to have rounded team efforts.

No. 3 is a great athlete. He sees the field so well and he's so quick, he really makes people miss him.

Nobody is more frustrated and disappointed in me than I am. Throughout my adult life, I have worked very hard on and off the field to live my life in an honorable way. All my accomplishments are now tainted, and many people have been hurt,

Nobody knows where that came from. We'd never had any issues. Any problems. This just came out of left field and took us back.

Nick had quite a day today. Nick was clearly the best player on the field today and was dangerous any time he got the ball. Their defense was struggling to keep up with him. People don't realize how fast he is, they underestimated his speed and they got burned today.

I would have liked to have seen us hold them to a field goal down there, but I gotta give the kid credit, ... Who was it, Cooley? He made a nice play on that.

When I look at Linux, the playing field isn't level because Microsoft is the incumbent.

When I got the ball I just went hard toward the box and on this field it's easier to stay in front so I just made sure to keep the ball.

We had a very disappointing day today, unfortunately. We had an opportunity to place real well in a field of top-50 teams, but those teams got it done today and we didn't. But we are going to draw from day one and go into the conference championships with a positive mindset.

My father was a research doctor at the National Institutes of Health in the early 1980s, and you couldn't work in the field and not know about D. Carleton Gajdusek, who my father often mentioned.

My goal is never to go pole-to-pole. My goal is to stay in the middle of the field.

My goal is to get Field Turf here sometime soon.

My hands shook and my heart pounded wildly. The air was filled with a sudden high-pitched whine, and a brown cloud of dust dimmed my field of vision.

My hat's off to Matt. You separate yourself from the field like that, it's a special day.

Make no mistake about it, we lost a generation of inner-city players along the way. I think that starting today, with the opening of the field here in Compton, we will stop the erosion of inner-city players.

Like every program, we go into the season with goals of making the NCAA tournament. That is our number one goal, to make it to the Field of 64. They are pretty lofty goals, but you have to aim high.

Light field photography unleashes the power of the light, to forever change how everyone takes and experiences pictures.

Like all good high school coaches, you walk around and you pilfer athletes from other programs. I was coaching field hockey and watching her play soccer and thinking, 'This kid would be really, really good at lacrosse.' So basically I chased her around with a stick for a couple of months and talked her into playing lacrosse.

Like all the other teams in preseason, we need to work more on that. I think we left it all on the field against Franklin. We had played our hearts out.

Showing up to games year after year, no matter what the product on the field gives you back, is a learned behavior - sort of like rats in a maze searching for cheese. The rat learns the maze, learns where the cheese is placed and eventually goes to it without thought, even when the cheese is taken away. The rat doesn't know anything else.

Oh, yeah, it was sweet. An ex-Jet kicking the game-winning field goal? That's nice. That's very nice.

(Of all my field goals), I'm proudest of that kick today. I can honestly say that.

Obviously, Wrigley Field is similar to the Indianapolis Motor Speedway in that it has that same mystique to it, ... I don't follow baseball too much, but I know how cool that stadium is and the history and heritage behind it.

Of course our background is in motor sports so we have years of experience crashing cars into the wall at Indianapolis and other places. So we've tried to take our motor sports approach into the body armor field with some very different ideas.

Obviously, we wish there weren't any ticket price increases. But in order to field a competitive team and with our finances, which have been well documented, we have to do this to retain our players and to be able to recruit new players to give our team the best chance for championships.

Obviously we brought in a large class. We're going to get on the field this fall and determine some roles.

Obviously, we didn't tackle and we weren't physical. We stopped them very few times. We were poor in every category. We gave up big plays, especially in the running game. We didn't get off the field on third down. We just didn't get the job done. We got whipped in every facet. We didn't get any turnovers. We have to go work, look at what we're doing everywhere and get better.

Obviously we know we?re in a position that he has to win the Classic to even think about that. If that happens then you can start looking at it a number of ways. He?s running against the strongest field any 3-year-old has run against this year. If he?s able to get it done, let?s soapbox then.

Obviously we look forward to the game for a couple of reasons. Mexico is certainly and arguably our biggest rival in CONCACAF and that always makes for a good game. More importantly, any kind of positive result for the U.S. qualifies us for the next World Cup and that's been our objective since June of 2004. We obviously look forward to the game. We love playing in Columbus. We anticipate a great crowd, and one that's very supportive of the U.S. team. I'm confident we're going to field a strong team and play well.

Obviously we're frustrated. We don't like being down 2-0 to a team that we don't think even deserves to be on the same field as us.

One of the things that's unique about this is that part of the proceeds go back into improving the Christensen Field agriculture facilities.

One of the things I think collegiate track and field needs is team scoring. Someone can identify with a team that won or lost.

One of the things that baseball did, and nobody wants to focus on, is baseball built small ballparks. They made it easy to hit home runs. Look at Houston; their left field is a joke. Baseball played to the home run as if it was the only great event in the game.

One problem is that it may not show up in dead birds in the field because they get weak and picked of by predators.

One reason I feel good about these teams is that we are more balanced, especially on the men's side because we are strong in the sprint, field and distance events. We are also balanced on the women's side. We hope that will be a positive for us this year.

One reason so many great coaches have tried to get him is because they know he'll be a leader on the field as well as one of the best players in the country.

One-third of play is special teams. Credit coaches (Dennis) Martin and (Ben) Foster for that (blocked punt). They do a great job with special teams. We got field position and we took advantage of it.

On Feb. 23, we're going to start moving ahead on plans for a new field house. We're growing so rapidly that we have to turn our weight room into new classrooms. And as far as football goes, right now we can only seat about 1,000 people. We had 5-6,000 at our playoff games over at West Port High, so obviously the demand is there and we want to accommodate everyone.

One of the animals which a generous and sociable man would soonest become is a dog. A dog can have a friend; he has affections and character, he can equally enjoy the field and the fireside; he dreams, he caresses, he propitiates; he offends, and is pardoned; he stands by you in adversity; he is a good fellow.

One fan told me they didn't really understand the free safety position, and said it's a shame that the free safety is the only person on the field that didn't get paid.

One of our primary goals this spring was to allow this team to form their own chemistry. Hard work and fun are important parts of the equation. We worked hard on and off the field with an emphasis on enjoying each other.

One of the soundest rules I try to remember when making forecasts in the field of economics is that whatever is to happen is happening already

One of the things IBM needs to do more of is become more competitive with their hardware products. They've become very competitive in software and services. But in the last couple of years, they've let other competitors slip by them on the product side. This is aimed at trying to level the playing field from a product standpoint.

Me missing the two field goals could have played a role in it. I had a job to do, whether it's a fake or a kick, so I had to get it done.

Montana is transitioning from a natural resource economy to a human-resource-based economy. Economic production is now more decentralized than 30 years ago. This has flattened the economic playing field so that businesses can do things in small towns that used to have to be done in big cities.

No one is more dedicated to this field than Jeff.

Of all the years we've played HF-L, this is the first time that we've controlled the game. Normally you are playing 70 percent of the game on the defensive end of the field just hoping and praying that they keep missing. Today we controlled it and had the better play. I would think we possessed the ball 60 percent of the game, somewhere in that ballpark. The kids have worked hard and they have the ability. Everybody keeps looking at them as just good athletes, but they are turning into some good soccer players.

Of course it can be frustrating. I went through a time when I thought, 'Why doesn't she retire? Give someone else a turn.' But at the same time, that motivates me. When the field is weak, you become weak. When I do win a national title it would mean a lot more if she's there.
