WORDS TO LIVE BY FROM CIGNETI, HOWARD ... AND MORE

 

They said it … although not always sure why:

“Eleven guys doing their job … is not addition … it’s 

multiplication.” – Indiana football coach CURT 

CIGNETI … explaining why the Hoosiers have been 

so dominant (I think).

“I don’t think there’s [enough] talent on the squad to win 

… the Premier League … Some of these players have 

been world class … at times. There’s talent in there ...It’s 

a matter of giving them fresh ideas … but nothing too 

complicated. Do one or two things right. Play to your 

strengths … and if he can get the squad to start doing that, 

I think you will see a new team.” – NBC’s (and former 

USMNT goalkeeper) TIM HOWARD on Manchester 

United hiring a new manager, RUBEN AMORIM, and 

the big job ahead of him

Multiple choice: Who said: “When you think about 

perfect roles … JUDY GARLAND was perfect as 

Dorothy in The Wizard of Oz, right? Can’t think of 

anyone else being her … CAM WARDis the perfect 

University of Miami quarterback.”?

Was it … (A) GUS JOHNSON; (B) “STRETCH” 

GARDNER; or (C) RICK NEUHEISEL? See below.

“No one had a good game tonight … top to bottom, it was 

terrible … I’d have to go through it with a fine tooth 

comb to find something I’d like … It looked like we were 

cheating the game.” NHL Colorado coach JARED 

BEDNAR after a 6-2 home loss to the Islanders … 

running Avalanche, among a handful of teams favored to 

win the Stanley Cup, record to 0-3-0 ... in which it led 

only four minutes, 59 seconds.

“I’ve seen better kicks on ‘College GameDay.’ 

What the heck was that?” – ESPN’s TROY AIKMAN … 

after NFL Buffalo’s TYLER BASS badly shanked an 

extra-point attempt low and VERY wide left against the 

NY Jets.

“In the off-season they made all these moves … spent 

upwards of $20 million constructing this … do-or-die 

roster. You have to win with these guys. Or we’re going 

to move on from you. That was the message I got. He’s 

under more pressure than anybody in college football.” -- 

ESPN’s DESMOND HOWARD on Ohio State coach

 RYAN DAY. (You don’t think Howard, former Heisman 

Trophy winner with OSU’s No. 1 rival, Michigan, was 

trying to put even more pressure on Day, do you?)

Until next time ...
