“[But Portis is still the same guy who says exactly what he feels -- offering blunt critiques of the offense on more than one occasion; defending friend and beleaguered teammate Sean Taylor throughout his troubled offseason -- and accepts the consequences.] I don't mean anybody no harm, ... I'm just going to speak my mind, good or bad.”
Clinton Portis
“[Exactly where his house is now, Harvey says. In a small town in Connecticut. He's tearing down the one he lived in for 22 years and rebuilding.] My house was designed by a heterosexual architect for a heterosexual man, ... There was no woman involved. When I bought the house, there wasn't a broom closet. You have to walk with your groceries from the parking area through the entire house to get to the kitchen.”
Harvey Fierstein
“I don't know exactly what our offense is going to look like, ... It should be very similar to what we did at Florida. We hope to be a balanced team with the run and the pass. We hope to be able to run the ball straight at teams, and if not, try to throw it over their heads.”
Steve Spurrier
“[And yes, he did give one to the flier guy on Canal Street; the episode underscores exactly the fluidity of an object's worth that Powers is playing with, although in this case it did not quite work out in his favor. Flier guy's boss liked the coat and suggested that maybe he would buy a second one. Powers explained the cost. The man expressed incredulity, with a bit of profanity.] This is my coat, ... I'll charge what I want for it.”
Steve Powers
“I haven't been able to put my finger on it exactly. I think it's guys motivating themselves and getting ready to play and getting off on the right foot. We haven't been able to get ourselves fired up until the other team does something to get us fired up.”
Greg Beals
“The players gave me exactly what I expected of them, both the guys who have been here doing it for the last five years and the newer ones who stood shoulder to shoulder with them and didn't let them down. The vision I have for Celtic must include the heart and character they showed tonight but we also have to play better and get fitter.”
Gordon Strachan
“My thoughts on the reverse grid races are exactly the same as most of the other guys ? I'm definitely not a fan of them.”
