“The different sorts of creative legal challenges had already occurred, and so it was drafted in a way to make it impervious to those kinds of attacks.”
Kelly Shackelford
“It happened very, very quickly. We felt it was appropriate. We came into the draft drafting for the best player. It had nothing to do with needs or positions, that's the philosophy this year and we felt by getting Marvell we were getting the best player, the most attractive player.”
Alexi Lalas
“We're beyond drafts now. There were three of four real drafts, and there were considerable changes from draft to draft. They're in the stage now that they're just throwing out pages and writing in the margins.”
Joe Lockhart
“It's long been said if somebody every challenged [the draft eligibility rule], they probably would win it. But I knew the league would fight it tooth and nail. The company line that I hear is that the league feels it has a good chance on appeal.”
Ozzie Newsome
“I really want to get drafted. That'd be the best situation. Obviously higher in the draft would be better, but the last pick in the seventh round, I don't care. That's fine with me.”
Greg Estandia
“Legally, I never received the draft notice. Morally, it is really cynical to summon me, the president of a (political) party that before the war and during the war has warned against the catastrophic policy of this regime.”
Zoran Djindjic
“At the moment we have a contract (draft) that were are looking at with our legal advisors and obviously it will have to be run past the Board to make sure there isn't any conflict of interest.”
