We knew that points were at a premium. Frankly, I would have liked to have gone for it there on fourth down, but based on what we saw, on second and third down, I just felt that you had to take points, i didn't think a lot of points would win this game, (that) was my thinking coming in. I felt great about our defense all week, just the way they've been building here in the last eight, nine weeks. So, that's why we had to take the field goals. – Mike McCarthy	Found on Reuters 9 years ago

I've seen a lot of sports and I think the resilience of our team is unmatchable. The character of the guys that we have and the belief of the guys, that is what makes the difference. – Seattle Seahawks	Found on Reuters 9 years ago
Patience was really important, it always is when you come from behind. You have to wait it out and not force the issue and get yourself in trouble trying to get back too fast, that took tremendous faith by everybody, not just Russell. But he's in the huddle, he's leading and has to stand for that -- and he did. He did a remarkable job to finish that game. – Peter Carroll	Found on Reuters 9 years ago
I just tried to stay as patient as I could, i don't know how hard he was racing, but when the time was right I pulled the trigger and gave him a slide job and was waiting for him to slide me back. We dragged raced each other into three and I came out with the lead. – Rico Abreu	Found on FOX News 9 years ago
I couldn’t hope for a better result to boost my confidence. With Kitzbuehel coming up next week and the world championships just behind, I’m right on time. – Patrick Kueng	Found on Reuters 9 years ago
You can't be overly negative; you can't be overly positive, i wanted to start off well. I thought I did many things well. But I'm not going into next week throwing flowers at myself or anything. – Maria Sharapova	Found on FOX News 9 years ago
I would hope that over the years I've always improved, i think I'm serving more consistent and stronger than I ever have. But I'm definitely very pleased how things have gone now the last six months. – Roger Federer	Found on FOX News 9 years ago
I had tough couple of days. But it's all behind me now. I'm ready for the Australian Open, little bit with the flu and stomach. But I carried that already from the Middle East. – Novak Djokovic	Found on Reuters 9 years ago

He's not fooling me with that. – Earl Thomas	Found on Reuters 9 years ago
The main goal (was) to still be leading going to the first tee tomorrow morning, even when I missed the fairway, I managed to make up?and?downs. I used a lot of birdie chances that I had. I didn't miss many putts. – Martin Kaymer	Found on Reuters 9 years ago
It was a good day, I played really well. I holed some good putts compared with the other days. I'm very happy about the score, i think I’ll need to shoot 10 under tomorrow to have a chance. – Victor Dubuisson	Found on Reuters 9 years ago
It was probably the best zone and best focus I've ever been in, i knew I was playing well, but I really didn't know how many under I was for the day, and I just kind of kept playing. It doesn't happen very often in golf, and it's really fun to happen. It's probably maybe only the second time it's ever happened to me. – Justin Thomas	Found on FOX News 9 years ago
Sometimes when I go in the city, it's tough, because everyone is coming to ask for a picture, (But) I'm not surprised that I had big results last year because two years ago I just started to win some titles. – Simona Halep	Found on Reuters 9 years ago
I do like the conditions here. I mean, obviously hard courts is the surface I feel very comfortable on, normally, if you put in good work in the off-season and work hard, you're going to get good rewards at the beginning of the year. I feel like the effort and work that I put in December has helped me here. – Roger Federer	Found on Reuters 9 years ago
We're in first place now, but that can change real quick, all these wins are big wins, but you've got to go out there and continue that. – John Tavares	Found on FOX News 9 years ago

Quality is more important than quantity. Whereas when you're younger you got to put in the hours, you got to put in the work, doesn't matter if you're tired, all these things, you just got to get through it, get match tough, go through the grind. – Roger Federer	Found on Reuters 9 years ago
I’m standing a little bit taller so I’m getting a bit more width with my swing and everything seems to be coming off the middle of the club, i’ve driven the ball great so I’ve given myself a lot of chances and that’s what you have to do around here. If you’re in the fairway you can attack this course. If you’re struggling with the driver it’s going to play tough. – Tim Clark	Found on Reuters 9 years ago
A card in lesser condition of a stiff who never made it into the Hall of Fame might go for as little as $100, these are truly pieces of art. They're colorful, they're bright, they're folky, they're Americana. – Troy Thibodeau	Found on FOX News 9 years ago
