“We are not educated well enough to perform the necessary act of intelligently selecting our leaders.”
Walter Cronkite
“DECALOGUE, n. A series of commandments, ten in number --just enough to permit an intelligent selection for observance, but not enough to embarrass the choice. Following is the revised edition of the Decalogue, calculated for this meridian.Thou shalt no God but me adore:'Twere too expensive to have more.No images nor idols make For Robert Ingersoll to break.Take not God's name in vain; select A time when it will have effect.Work not on Sabbath days at all, But go to see the teams play ball.Honor thy parents. That creates For life insurance lower rates.Kill not, abet not those who kill; Thou shalt not pay thy butcher's bill.Kiss not thy neighbor's wife, unless Thine own thy neighbor doth caressDon't steal; thou'lt never thus compete Successfully in business. Cheat.Bear not false witness --that is low -- But "hear 'tis rumored so and so."Cover thou naught that thou hast not By hook or crook, or somehow, got. --G.J.”
Ambrose Bierce
“If you nominate a guy, he'll be on that list. They're not really considered for the team. That selection process began a year and a half in advance . . . The players think they're being considered but they're not.”
Jim Yerkovich
“I was delighted that they were selected. It was a unanimous selection of the dinner committee. I think they're very deserving and exhibited tremendous compassion and bravery and initiative for what they did last spring in response to the tsunami disaster in their homeland of Sri Lanka.”
Mike Healy
“The score affects the clock and it affects the plays you select, but it should not affect how hard you try. We had some cases where it did, and we'll be addressing that Sunday.”
Mike Leach
“It takes for as long as it's necessary to select the best one. I don't have a timeline for that.”
Gerardo Cardenas
“The discussion about any one league will not go into our discussions when it comes time to select the at-larges. We are going to look strictly at teams, what teams have done.”
