Matt Quotations | Page 4

I was thrilled that Matt won the defender of the week award,

I worked a little bit harder in the weight room. I tried to hang around Matt (Hasselbeck) and Seneca (Wallace), the quarterbacks, a little bit more, just so they can get a feel for how I run my routes. I think it's paying off.

I won six league games last year, and Matt won five of them. He's the one you throw out there to get wins. Fastball pitcher, with a good breaking ball when he needs it.

I was glad for Matt to break out. He's been struggling a little bit, but got a pitch to hit and drove it.

I think musically, if you talk to (drummer) Matt Chamberlain, he'll tell you it's really complicated rhythmically.

Kearns wasn't taking a team to sectionals. I went looking for another team to train with, and Matt seemed really excited to work with me.

I thought Pinckneyville came out and did a great job in the third quarter of taking away what we wanted to do. We always talk about the first three minutes of the second half is the most important part of the game. I just think we didn't match their intensity. ... And, I think Matt (Buren) getting in foul trouble in the third quarter really hurt us.

I thought Shane Garner did an excellent job today, not only doing just what you're supposed to do, to go in, throw strikes and compete, but just slowing it down, creating some semblance of order. It didn't seem like we had that with Matt Brewer in the game. Things were just crazy and some of that was not his fault, but some of it was.

I think we did. They have good players, a good defense, and home field throughout. Whoever comes in here better be ready, because their defense was awesome, and Matt did enough with Shaun going down to beat us.

I think it comes down to the fact that we wanted to help make the situation right. From the bottom of our hearts, we regret that Matt (Brown) and his family had this experience at our theater. We're really committed to making sure that everyone has a good experience and regret that wasn't the case with Matt and his family.

I was at Comedy Central when we launched the first season of South Park and I am thrilled to see them continue through 2008, ... Matt and Trey are creative geniuses and a huge part of the Comedy Central family and we look forward to continued success.

I think we'll be in good shape for Dover. Matt really likes racing there and although our finishes haven't been consistent due to some crashes we've been involved in over the past couple of years, we generally do run well there. Car number 39 has been good to us this season, especially lately, and we're bringing it to Dover. It should be a good weekend.

I thought we attacked well during the second half. Corbin Buttner was running toward the goal in the second half, but time ran out. We had outstanding play by Corbin ... Matt had probably his best game of the year.

We not only have to choose the best three goalkeepers but what fits in our budget. I think Matt Jordan might agree to our terms, so it looks as if Byron Foss might be the man out.

We need more pain at the contact area. There were times when we were going to ground too easily, arriving in ones rather than twos or threes. Matt is our best prop as far as his overall game is concerned. He's there for his mobility and work around the field.

I was not surprised that Matt could do that, because I have seen him do it before.

Today was about how much courage Matt had to go out there. I couldn't even fathom what he had to go through.

We were still in the game when Matt scored, but anytime you dig yourself a 2-0 hole and have to make it up, it's tough.

Yeah, Matt always thinks that. I guess Matt didn't think anything when he got me sideways over in (Turn) 2. He should have thought about that first. He got back what he started in the first place.

Yeah, Matt Birk and some guys gave it to me,

We were just scared to death of Matt Aiken. We spent all week on the option. It didn't look like it early, but we kept him in check the rest of the night.

We are delighted to be able to include Matt's expertise among the firm's resources. Our software patent procurement, counseling, and litigation practices have grown rapidly, and with the addition of Matt to the LL&A team, we have expanded our ability to fully meet the needs of our clients in these areas.

I would like to see Matt Dillon win, because he was excellent. When you first see him in the beginning you hate him, you think he's like every other bad cop. But then at some point you start caring about his character. But I'm thinking George Clooney might win this.

We have two new tackles, big guys. That pocket is not going to compress as much. And moving Ryan put him at a more natural position. He's done a great job. A couple of snaps at the beginning of the spring were a little off, but he hasn't missed a call. Moving Matt to guard has made him a little more comfortable.

The acquisition of Matt Morris is a good, good one. He's great.

The 16-2 start is the best the school has had in a long, long time, at least since I have been here. Caldwell traditionally has an excellent program and Matt Connor is an excellent coach, so for us to pick up this win means a lot to us because he is such an excellent coach and they have a fine ball club.

We got the timely hitting we needed today. Brice and Matt (Combs) got some key hits for us, but we are still going to focus on our offensive a bit more heading into tournament time.

We came out swinging against Byrd. (Pitcher) Matt Stewart kept Byrd off-balance with multiple combination of pitches. Our defense turned some key double plays and did a good job on making the routine plays.

We haven't had two captains since the 1984 season. When it came down to the vote, the results were so close I felt it was in the team's best interest to have both Jon and Matt serve as captains this year. I'm very comfortable with having the two of them in the leadership role.

When it comes to working, Matt can be a little nutty. We wanted to make sure he realized work is secondary. Obviously, he's here because he's a very good employee, but our interest in him is as a person, first. There are far more important things in life than your job.

We were looking for Matt to give us a good effort tonight and he did. We just didn't well enough overall.

We were very close. But it just didn't happen. Arkansas wanted to hold onto his rights, and Matt no longer wanted to be there.

We played good defense ands Caleb was throwing strikes. Matt Taylor made several key catches in center field on well-hit balls.

We are truly excited to be selected to compete in one of the most prestigious fall tournaments of the year. It is a great honor and one that is much deserved for Matt and Patrick.

We are trying to do what we think Matt would want us to do with this opportunity of having a voice. He's with me every day when I do this. I know it or I couldn't do this because I'm a shy, private person.

We have some things in our passing game that might fit one guy better. A short-yardage situation might fit better for a certain guy. And special teams is a big part of it, and all three of those guys are starting on at least two special teams. So we'll just see where we go from here. But we're in a great position. Last year, we had Howard Jackson, and Matt was backing him up with Jimmy Smith. This year I think we've got three threats, as opposed to just one.

We had two of our starters down for most of the game. I thought they defended Matt (Weeks) well. It was a pretty physical, fast tempo type of game. Keith (Jones) in foul trouble hurt us, obviously. Michael (Warren) in foul trouble hurt us still.

We had a little crisis when Matt and Sarah had to replace their shower curtain liner and we said no. But we put the word out and someone found one for them. It's like the Amish - we help each other out. We raise a barn every week.

We had Jeff and Matt finish strong, but we haven't found our third runner to help put us over the top. We were expecting to finish a little better than we did.

We got exactly what we wanted. Julian likes that shot that he took and Matt caught it and was a little strong on it.

That was just Matt and I adlibbing, if you will. It was a big play, and sometimes, you have to do it. He threw the ball on the money. I was supposed to get a hitch, but it didn't work that way, so we went deep. It was a great play like that. Sometimes it may be called playground football, but it worked.

That was nice for Matt (Hall) and Turtle Bay to think of me and let me play in my first year as a senior.

That would make Lions' president Matt Millen look like a genius. For once in his life.

The fact that Matt didn't have a flat tire, and he didn't break anything, and Carl narrowly avoided a crash that would have been a disaster, was great. The litany of things that can happen and didn't, that can get on top of you, they stayed away from us tonight.

We have respect for Matt and his coaching. These things happen. Six years at an NRL club is a long time.

We share information really well together -- all the teams do -- and we give each other racing room, ... It's fun to race with Matt and these other guys. Man, it's just unbelievable that our cars run this good.

We share information really well together ? all the teams do ? and we give each other racing room, ... It's fun to race with Matt and these other guys. Man, it's just unbelievable that our cars run this good.

Yes, I was surprised. Stunned. I never thought something like this would come up with Matt. I don't know all the details, but he's a hard worker. Everything he's gotten, he's earned. I actually talked to Matt today, but we didn't talk about this. I didn't say anything about it.

We hope to think (he'll be back in time for Arkansas). Matt has worked very hard on the rehab. Obviously, he'll be a tremendous asset back to the ball club.

We did good. Matt (Mitchell) had a little trouble today, but the other guys stepped up and improved today. The score stayed within three shots of (Wednesday). One guy struggled, but the other guys came through. It turned out to be just as good.

We want to bring 'Shooting Stars' back and we're talking to the BBC. Matt will definitely be George Dawes. We can't do the show without him.

This win was well-deserved. Heath and Lynch had terrific runs - and Matt Anderson returned to the lineup and to his usual form after missing the previous two races.

There are three guys - Matt Mason, Graeme Hick and myself - who have got to try to be role models to the rest.

We did want to get the running game going as a whole and get Brad Morgan and Matt May involved. Ryan ended up getting the one big run for the score and that was a lot of the total we had.

We're losing a very good senior class. Losing Matt and Zach leaves us with two huge holes to fill.

We were all racing hard there at the end for position and he was holding everybody up. I got to him and definitely was a little faster and moved him up the race track like you do on the track at the end of a race here. We went down into one and he decided to wreck me instead. It is pretty disappointing. We had a great car. I am sorry that happened. I like racing with Matt, I certainly didn't enjoy racing with him today. I showed him my displeasure. I get fired up too. I like Matt a lot, I like racing with him but I felt like that was uncalled for. We will keep racing hard against him in the future.

The fact that that really is my life, and that my husband Matt - who you see on the show - is like the most normal guy in the world.

What we talk about is between Matt and me.

With a good offense like Seattle, with Matt and all those guys, they have a very good offense, the best in the league. If they're on the field long enough they're going to score some points. We just needed to keep the ball in our hands and convert those third downs and get some points, and we just didn't do that.

We like the balance that our lines get. I think we can expect more from Matt Cooke and Richard Park playing with a centre as accomplished as Mo.

Well, I would like to come back. I love this experience at the aa level. I would like to get one more shot at it. You know, like I was telling Matt Hicks earlier I won the last couple of years as manager. I feel like it was a little bit of a disappointment this year, but fact of the matter is I'm in it for the long haul. Hopefully, I'm back in Corpus next year.

We were worried about the foul situation. I'm not sure we've been in that situation all year. The combination of Joey, J.D. and Matt is real important to us.

We've worked together with our team for ages. The intent would be to continue what Matt and his team have been doing for years.

We have flown Matt over purely as a precaution at this stage. With a bit of treatment tonight George should be fine and right to take his place in the starting line-up.

We were seeing signs of this during practice all year, ... We finally put it together, and we've created the holes and Matt has made people miss. It's a good feeling. Things are rolling a bit and we hope it continues.

When I signed onto 'Superman,' editors Matt Idelson and Wil Moss gave me a rough outline that JMS had turned in for the remaining issues of the 'Grounded' arc, which amounted to a couple of sentences for each issue, spelling out in general terms where the issue would take place geographically, specific guest stars, things like that.

We were a very good team with Adam and Mike up front and Matt and Jake making plays from the midfield. What turned us into a great team was moving Shane Curran-Hays to sweeper. The other players have total confidence in him. The guys know that they can hold the ball a little longer now. Shane gets to balls that other people would not. His presence made a great change in us in the back. We are quick at every position, really. So communication becomes key, especially because we play zonal defense.

We're looking for someone to replace Matt Howard's presence in the lineup.

When it came down to it, there were three teams in the running for second place. The percentage of individual wins for Matt and Josh were higher so they took second.

We've asked Matt to do some new things to help us get a couple more athletic bodies into the lineup,and he's more than held his own in left field. Most catchers don't run very well and couldn't make the switch to the outfield, but Matt dominates with his quickness when he's playing hockey, and I think that's helped him make the transition.

Watching the film, I didn't think that would happen because they play such great pass defense and they're so aggressive. But Matt was on fire.

We're hoping to build on last year. Our goal is to get by the second round of the tournament and to be competitive with some of the big teams in the SCC and get into the SCC tournament. We want to capitalize on our experience. These guys all have a lot of time as varsity players last year. We are working on solidifying our defense. We're hoping we can get a couple of guys besides Matt to score some goals. If we do those things, we should be all right.

We're basically back to where we were last year. Matt Kubik will start based on the fact he played the most last year. Donald Allen will play early on and we'll leave it at that and see where we go from there.

There are some high-caliber teams here and placing anywhere in the top six is a great accomplishment. Matt Stephenson wrestled really well and was in every match. It's a good point in the season for Matt to realize that he can wrestle well at a tournament like this.

We've actually rehearsed more for this tour than we've ever rehearsed in our lives. Matt is singing a lot of the vocal harmonies, and he's just killing it. The benefit of playing in a KISS cover band when you're 12 is that you learn to sing!

We've all watched Matt grow up on camera, but I don't know how many of us have really stopped and taken a long look at the tremendously accomplished body of work that he continues to build.

Three words. 'Scoop and score.' I was joking with Matt that I thought the kicker was going to get him for half a second. He didn't appreciate that.

We knew they were going to come out strong early and we managed to stem the tide. D-Y is a well-coached veteran team that plays with a lot of emotion. Our goalie, Matt Ryan, was obviously a key factor for us.

Curry had 17 rebounds, while Matt McLain had six steals and 11 assists.

What Pete and Jake did this year as leaders is what Jake and Matt will have to do next year. Matt would've been a district qualifier and maybe even a state qualifier if he'd not gotten hurt, so we're going to be improved next season, especially with the experience these freshmen got.

Ben is so young, and he has so much to learn. Matt has arrived. But for the future, I would rather have Ben because of where he is going to go. His future is unlimited.

We don't really have a natural 119-pounder on our team, so we have two 112-pounders who wrestle at 119. Matt usually wrestles wherever the competition is stiffest.

Everybody will be surprised when they see Matt and how good he is.

At that point in time, everyone was looking to Matt to carry the team. He was putting a lot of pressure on himself and other guys weren't stepping up.

I've been so amazed at the number of really professional top-of-their-game women who I know to be intelligent, well educated and brilliant who have said, 'What was it like to snog Matt LeBlanc?'

I used all 200 pounds of my body to push Matt in.

We've been constantly writing checks. I haven't looked at the balance yet. We have a good deal of money to spend but (team president Matt Silverman 's) job, along with management and myself, is determining how much do we spend today, how much do we spend over a three-year period, how much over a seven-year period, and, most importantly, where is the money deployed.

The signs are that Ollie may be available for selection. But whether he plays or not we will have to see how things go during the week, and I would say that Matt Stevens is touch and go.

It was a bunch of young girls, ... They were standing in close proximity. I said, 'Hi. How are you?' One of them asked (he puts on a high girly voice), 'Are you Matt from 13 Going on 30 ?' They were nice and everything. But I usually like to be low-key and private.

When you have a quarterback that's mobile and accurate like Matt is, it's pretty tough to defend. We didn't expect Matt to be as effective as he was today, and he was great.

We will have to replace them. That is what happens every year in this business. You rely on your seniors greatly, then they are gone ? but as great as Matt and Zach were, I am confident that we have underclassmen that are ready to step up and be leaders. We still have a lot of quality guys in this program.

When we played the Redskins the first time, that's the thing that Mike finally let Matt take control of, change things for the better for our team. And our whole practice and schemes and what we called just changed after that day. ... It has made us a better football team just letting Matt have enough control.

We've only played 10 or 12 shows with Matt. Markku left a month and a half, maybe two, ago. We met Matt through Chris, our drummer. They both come from up north (the Bay area), and Matt was playing in a band called Tsunami Bomb. He was great, so we called him in.

I've seen Matt play numerous times. He played against our reserves last season in the Cheshire Senior Cup. He's tall and very quick.

It was tough. We actually played a great game. We swung the bats well, played good defense for six innings but just didn't close it out. Matt threw well. We just didn't make plays behind him.

It was very harsh on Dafydd. Ulster tried to take our driving maul down, and when Matt McCullough (Ulster forward) dropped to the floor, a few of our players went over the top of him.

It was time to reestablish my dominance, ... in NASCAR, as well as in Roush Racing. The way things are going, I might be the only guy left in Roush come next season. I'm the main man in Roush. Ask anybody, except Kurt Busch, Mark Martin, Carl Edwards, and Matt Kenseth.

It was an ESPN highlight. There wasn't anything wrong with the bunt or the runner. Matt just made an unbelievable play.
