“A lot of people are afraid to tell the truth, to say no. That's where toughness comes into play. Toughness is not being a bully. It's having backbone.”
Robert Kiyosaki
“He was kind of the backbone of our Doomsday defenses. He kind of coached like he played. He was a hard-working, hard-trying individual who had a lot of patience in developing young players. He was easy-going and well-liked. The thing with him was that he made everybody feel at home.”
Gil Brandt
“Defense has been the backbone of our entire season. We can step up and stop people when we need to stop them.”
Daniel Ewing
“At this point, we've got to show some backbone. You don't stop playing because things aren't going your way. As a team, you find out now if it has any character, any heart.”
Tony Battie
“He's the backbone of this team. No question. Our whole team has been playing well and he's back there to make the big saves. I think he's the best goalie in the league by far.”
Colin White
“He?s been tough to beat down the stretch. He played great. He?s definitely the backbone of that team. He really impressed me.”
Brian Yandle
“The individual activity of one man with backbone will do more than a thousand men with a mere wishbone.”
William J. H. Boetcker
