I think I did that quite well. I wanted to start off sharp and try to do the right things. – Maria Sharapova	Found on Reuters 9 years ago
I really just kind of got away from it all. I didn't check anything.

I am seeking the presidency of FIFA because I believe it is time to shift the focus away from administrative controversy and back to sport, this was not an easy decision.

This is probably the best place for a large sports venue. – Christopher Meany	Found on Reuters 9 years ago
I think it's debatable, there was a left hand on (Pettigrew's) shoulder, but does that significantly hinder the receiver's ability to make the catch? – Dean Blandino	Found on Reuters 9 years ago

Ron and his family are safe. – Carolina Panthers	Found on Reuters 9 years ago
I had the( shoulder) problem in Abu Dhabi couple of days ago and haven't had much time to serve after that. We flew straight from there and arrived yesterday, it doesn't really make sense for a right-handed player to have a problem with their left arm.

Its been too long, hopefully I will at least get past the quarters. – Serena Williams	Found on Reuters 9 years ago
Our goal here is not about one playoff game, it is far beyond that - it is about winning the Super Bowl, to put ourselves in a position that only 12 teams were able to do this year and only 12 teams have been able to do the last four years, there is a sense of accomplishment there. – Andy Dalton	Found on Reuters 9 years ago
If anything it's going to help me for Melbourne, perth is one of the most hottest places I've ever played, so it will be really good for the preparation in Melbourne, which is always super hot. – Serena Williams	Found on Reuters 9 years ago
