We didn’t have to file a lawsuit for the world to know there’s a problem from a hiring standpoint in regards to minority coaches in the National Football League. The numbers speak for themselves. We filed a lawsuit so that we can create some change, and that’s important to me. We’re at a fork in the road right now, we’re either gonna keep it the way it is, or we’re gonna go in another direction and actually make some real change where actually changing the hearts and minds of those who make decisions to hire head coaches, executives, etc. We gotta change hearts and minds. – Brian Flores	Found on FOX News 2 years ago
I can see it’s an area, one of many, that we can do better. The area has some good attention. This is obvious if you look through that the league and coaches are trying to improve there. – Dallas Cowboys	Found on FOX News 2 years ago
It's always good to get career highs, especially on the road when usually you don't play your best on the road on the offensive side. – Eric Hunter Jr.	Found on FOX News 2 years ago
They're a good team, talented team, they've obviously got some huge guys inside and got some wings that can shoot the ball really well. – Payton Willis	Found on FOX News 2 years ago
I train always to be prepared even when I’m backing up just in case something happens and I have to go in, this time it was almost a full game. It was nice to get back on the ice. Obviously it’s a tough loss for us. – Pheonix Copley	Found on FOX News 2 years ago
We know these Eastern Conference teams are fighting for (playoff) spots, just like we are, it's going to be tough games, just like tonight. – Terry Rozier	Found on FOX News 2 years ago
I felt like I played terrible, if you asked me that was probably one of the worst games I played in my career. – Ja Morant	Found on FOX News 2 years ago
That was resiliency right there. – Jaren Jackson	Found on FOX News 2 years ago
Obviously, you see the swag he plays with, the energy he plays with, the uniqueness with his athleticism but also his unique playmaking ability, too, obviously, he’s a highlight reel, but then I would say he’s also a guy that impacts winning. So he does it all and hopefully the way he handles himself on the court, he handles himself in the media and community is just inspiring to others and hopefully someone who’s rocking the Ja jersey or rocking any of our Grizzlies jerseys out there, it’s a testament to what this team stands for. – Taylor Jenkins	Found on FOX News 2 years ago
That’s really what I’m in this game for, i’m here to play football, win football games. And as long as I’ve got that and good people around me, I think the rest will take care of itself. – Jimmy Garoppolo	Found on FOX News 2 years ago
The truth of the matter is, it gets darkest before it gets brightest, we are going to have to go through this. It takes three to five years to completely change a culture. Futility doesn’t just disappear overnight, and to create a positive environment, it takes time. It’s not going to happen overnight. – Rob Carr/Getty Images	Found on FOX News 2 years ago
You don’t really know what it looks like, if you record GoPro footage, you’re like: ‘This is the best video I’ve ever shot! That was so cool!’ And then you go home and you look at it and you’re like, ‘That looks so bad.’. – Bryce Bennett	Found on FOX News 2 years ago
It’s something, clearly, we need to be aware of. It’s a lot of pressure to bear, being the face of the Olympics or the face of a nation during an international event like this, we are trying, and have always tried, to provide a consistent atmosphere that’s comfortable for her and something that she knows everybody in that circle has her back and will take care of her when needed. And that’s, you know, more or less all the time. – Mike Day	Found on FOX News 2 years ago
Everybody expects, every time she steps in the start gate — no matter the event, no matter the preparation, no matter anything — that she’s going to win the race. And that’s an unreal expectation. She’s dealt with that her entire career, to a certain extent, but obviously, more recently, in the last few years that she has shown dominance. – Mike Day	Found on FOX News 2 years ago
But it’s not like rainbows and sunshine and butterflies and everything that people sort of say, they’re like, ‘Wow, that looks like it was so much fun!’ And you’re like, ‘Well, it was fun to cross through the finish line and, in the next five seconds, see the green light (signaling the fastest time) and comprehend that. That was a fun thing.’ And the rest of the day — the whole rest of the day — was really, really pretty stressful and uncomfortable. – Observed Shiffrin	Found on FOX News 2 years ago
The future is exciting. I’m fortunate to have cofounded incredible companies like Autograph, Brady Brand, TB12 Sports that I am excited to continue to help build and grow, but exactly what my days will look like will be a work-in-progress. – Tom Brady	Found on FOX News 2 years ago
That’s not what that was about, i think that was taken out of context, just like you’re taking it out of context and trying to make it a story for yourself, which has a negative connotation to it, which I don’t appreciate. It was meant to be something different than that. The fact it’s a distraction or you’re bringing it up is not something I want to be talking about. – Tom Brady	Found on FOX News 2 years ago
We’re not in the position we want to be right now but that’s OK, we know what we need to do as a team. Just find a way to get over the hump and close games out. – Russell Westbrook	Found on FOX News 2 years ago
It was fun, real fun, to have a coach that trusts you every single game, that means a lot. – Ish Wainright	Found on FOX News 2 years ago
It's really easy for the media and the administration to just focus on Lia and all the things that are hurting her and how she needs compassion right now, but I think we're the ones who truly need compassion right now, and we're the ones who are just being overlooked and told to just suck it up and deal with it and to accept second place. I think it's wrong, when we came here, we were told we were going to have equal opportunities, and it just seems like our administrators and parts of society, very small parts, because I believe most people know it's wrong, but that those people just think that we shouldn't care about winning. And that's wrong. You know, what message are you telling little girls? You're telling them that they shouldn't strive for first place, that they should be OK with second. – Hunter Martin/Getty Images	Found on FOX News 2 years ago
I'm a little bit more hopeful because I think that, at least as swimmers, we kind of realize that it's not just testosterone levels, it's testosterone levels from the last 20 years and how that affected, you know, the fact that [Thomas] went through male puberty and the way that built her heart and lungs and her hands and the way she circulates blood and the lactic acid and all that stuff. – Lia Thomas	Found on FOX News 2 years ago
He kind of scared me because I thought he pulled his hammy. – Tim Weah	Found on FOX News 2 years ago
I thought The Predators played pretty well. The Predators did n’t give up too much, i would love to see the chances, I feel like The Predators had a few more than they did, their goalie played outstanding, he made some big saves. ... And when you get to the shootout, it’s a bit of a coin flip, it’s a big of a skills comp, and The Predators shooters, including Matt Duchene, were n’t able to find one. That’s the way it goes. – Matt Duchene	Found on FOX News 2 years ago
I was not very good tonight, so I was happy my teammates were able to pick me up. – Joel Embiid	Found on FOX News 2 years ago
