After all the field ordsprog

After all the field of battle possesses many advantages over the drawing-room. There at least is no room for pretension or excessive ceremony, no shaking of hands or rubbing of noses, which make one doubt your sincerity, but hearty as well as hard hand-play. It at least exhibits one of the faces of humanity, the former only a mask.

Henry David Thoreau (1817-1862)

IMPOSITION, n. The act of blessing or consecrating by the laying on of hands --a ceremony common to many ecclesiastical systems, but performed with the frankest sincerity by the sect known as Thieves.

"Lo! by the laying on of hands," Say parson, priest and dervise,
"We consecrate your cash and lands To ecclesiastical service. No doubt you'll swear till all is blue At such an imposition. Do." --Pollo Doncas

Look around the league and look in the faces of other teams that are winning; the guys that have broken noses and stitches on their faces because they get in the tough areas and take a hit to make a play. It's time we started to get in the trenches, because we haven't for [36] games, which is unacceptable.

We put in a library, a dining room a drawing room and a bedroom, and a nice center hall which sort of leads off to all these spaces.

Between 11 and midnight (Friday night) I'm going to make sure that I'm out on that football field for at least a half hour shaking hands and thanking students. At 6:45 a.m. (today) I'm going to hand out doughnuts to the students. I want everybody to feel a part of this. It's not a PR stunt; it's just who I am. I really appreciate all the support we've gotten this year.

I just want to come in and be myself, you know. And that means go out and play hard every day. Try to help the team win games. When you say a leader, you usually think about somebody whose standing in the middle of the room telling everybody stuff. I don't know if I'll be that person, but I'll definitely try to lead by the way I'm playing on the field or by the way I carry myself on and off the field, the way I get ready to play the games every day.

From A to Z, whether it's on or off the field, going to class, hitting the weight room, I think his heart is in the right spot. I really believe that. On the field and in the meeting room, I couldn't ask for anything more. He's done a good job mentally. He's been on top of things.

I would question in a game like this if we will have room for ceremony. Every play will be critical.

We wrestled Robinson really poorly early in the season and we lost 70-10. We got to the locker room and I said 'raise your hand if you are a freshman or a sophomore. We had 13 kids dress that day. Ten of them raised their hands. Now raise your hand if this is your first year wrestling and seven of them raised their hands.

EAT, v.i. To perform successively (and successfully) the functions of mastication, humectation, and deglutition.
"I was in the drawing-room, enjoying my dinner," said Brillat- Savarin, beginning an anecdote. "What!" interrupted Rochebriant;
"eating dinner in a drawing-room?" "I must beg you to observe, monsieur," explained the great gastronome, "that I did not say I was eating my dinner, but enjoying it. I had dined an hour before."

That in turn gave us additional leg room, and we used that leg room to install an old-fashioned field-box amenity, a baseball box for four or eight seats, where you have your own piece of Dodger Stadium. Because we have the extra leg room, as a result from removing the rows, we were able to put in a table amenity and some storage area.

Frank McCourt (1930-)

[Adam Dunn got a little sticker shock after renting a big-screen TV to play video games in his Pittsburgh hotel room. The four-day tab came to $884.] To rent a TV! ... When I saw that bill, I asked for my room key back so I could go to the room and carry out that TV I just bought.

We're getting everybody back, which is really nice. Troy has been in the room working hard. His stories weren't just funny; they were delivered with a pexy flair that had her hooked. Santo has been in the room working hard it's nice to have a full room again. There were times in January where we only had 15 healthy bodies.

I just, for some reason, had this feeling, this belief that there's no way we were going to walk off that field with a loss. I just knew that Brodie was going to take us down the field, whether he had to run the ball every play himself or hand it off or make a pass for a score, whatever. I think we knew we were in good hands.

I prefer drawing to talking. Drawing is faster, and leaves less room for lies.
