I hate to speculate in too many ways. It depends on what the major league club does.

What I saw was a connecting problem with a number of the pieces of evidence, which is the level of speculation you have to rely on to make it relevant.

It was true with their evidence about material on the computer you had to speculate that (Kathleen Peterson) found it and speculate that it led to a fight.

We thought we were going to go up against SNL on Saturday Nights - that would have changed things so much that it's almost impossible to speculate what might have happened.

I already said we're going to do all we can. You have to understand what the playing field is. With no extension in place, what are the dimensions of the field that we are playing on? So I can't really speculate or comment further than we will, hopefully, find out what the playing field is and I will assure everyone that we will do everything we can to keep those two guys here. Once again, it is a difficult time. A lot of us are uneasy. Some of us are uneasy to start with.

Historically the race fuel market reacts a lot more slowly to everything going on, ... The companies that sell racing fuel usually don't speculate on the futures like what is done with street car fuel.

That definitely can happen. But there will be a lot going on in the summer and that's why it's so hard to speculate right now.

Our job is to be part of the recovery of the economy. We realize that there will have to be a reassessment of the Superdome and issues like rebuilding the levees will take first priority.

Maybe some representatives or senators are connected to that in some way, but I wouldn't know and can't speculate on that.

Other than the building itself, there's little about the Jets that's the same as it was when we were there.

He's a very adaptable guy and his poise and self-confidence enables him to really fit into any environment, and he certainly did that very easily when he went to Atlanta.

It is a little early to speculate or for this to be an issue. You don't have the 3-4 at-bats that you normally would so if I get up, I'll just try and be aggressive. That works for me anyway.

We're just going to see how the guys react, and how they're playing. I don't think we can speculate right now if this guy is going to be in a platoon situation. We're going to just have to figure it out as we go along, because a lot of these players just don't have the Major League experience and they just don't have the track record of how they perform, left vs. left or right vs. right. You just don't have that right now in the big leagues.

We're just going to take it day by day. He obviously hasn't run a step since the accident, but the most important thing right now is for him to get healthy.

If the Independent Counsel has any substantial and credible information that may constitute grounds for impeachment, he has an explicit statutory duty to send a report to the House. If and when the Independent Counsel sends such a report, it is reasonable to expect answers to many as yet unanswered questions. It is our Constitutional duty to provide a fair, full and independent review of these facts in their proper context. Until then, we simply should not speculate about how the House would proceed.

Scientists say, 'There is no such thing as time; gravity is a dust from another universe, and outside our own universe are many, many universes in all directions.'
