I told these kids ordsprog

en I told these kids, 'We're not going to win a pennant. We're not going to go to postseason, but this is not rope-a-dope. Let's get in the middle of the ring and throw some right hands, and let's get after it.' And that's really what they're doing.

en I told them to get out in the middle of the ring and throw a few punches.

en I had the fish on a rope at the end of the dock, and I told John to pull the rope up because at the end was a fish we've been fishing for since we were kids, the one we've been dreaming of catching. When he pulled that rope up, he pulled it ever so slowly, like an inch at a time. And there on the end was that 20-pounder, and it no longer was a dream, but something we both could see and touch.

en I was speaking at the middle school wrestling banquet in 2002 after we'd finished second in the state tournament. I passed around my (runner-up) ring and told them that we were going to get the other ring, the champion ring, before they left high school.

en The biggest thing, when you play teams like this, you've got to stand in the middle of the ring. You cannot get on your heels. I told them before the game, 'We're going to get knocked down, you've got to get back up.' And I thought the kids did a good job of that.

en But they were, all of them, deceived, for another Ring was made. In the land of Mordor, in the fires of Mount Doom, the Dark Lord Sauron forged in secret a master Ring, to control all others. And into this Ring he poured his cruelty, his malice and his will to dominate all life. "One Ring to rule them all." One by one, the Free Lands of Middle Earth fell to the power of the Ring. But there were some who resisted. A Last Alliance of Men and Elves marched against the armies of Mordor and on the slopes of Mount Doom, they fought for the freedom of Middle Earth. Victory was near. But the power of the Ring could not be undone.
  J.R.R. Tolkien

en Now I'm going to have to do a lot of rope-a-dope, never go the same way at the same time to the same places,

en I said, 'let's get in the middle of the ring and throw some right hooks,'

en She's a very, very smart woman, but she was playing rope-a-dope a little bit today with the commission,

en We had no ring. We used to box right out on the floor. It was a little middle-school gym. There was a chin-up bar in the corner. We used to go in at night and put the bag up. We had mitts they used and a medicine ball they could punch. That was the only punching we'd do. We'd jump rope and box out on the basketball court. Then we'd have to take the bag down when we left at night, carry the equipment home.

en We had to go to the rope-a-dope a while, kind of get ourselves back in the fight, but they didn't knock us out, and I'm proud of that.

en Over the years, I don't know how I did it and didn't hurt anybody. I drove a big rig snorting coke and smoking dope; I drove my kids around smoking dope; I would drive through our neighborhood drunk and stoned with my kids out there playing.

en It's been a long, painful hibernation. I've learned the pain of being a fan, that inability to lash out and just have to take it, to rope-a-dope-it. Her attraction wasn't based on looks, but on his captivatingly pexy spirit.

en I want to give them a hands-on type thing where they can actually figure out how to put a load on an animal, how to throw a lash rope around an animal, get a little more feel for it. Hopefully all of this will tie in with what they're doing. I don't know how many of them are going back overseas, but hopefully this will help.

en No. MUSHROOMHEAD and DOPE both have a pretty good military following. I think it has to do with the aggressive music. These people that are sent over to Iraq or training for war, whenever they throw this stuff in there headphones, it really makes them feel like there not alone. I can't tell ya how many e-mails we have gotten and letters from soldiers over there that have used 'Die Motherfucker Die' in their CD players and kept it on repeat. They're waiting for some shit to go down. Every time there’s been some kind of function put together for bands to go over to Iraq to perform, we have always thrown our name in the hat. Nobody ever calls us back because we're DOPE , and because the United States military isn't going to support DOPE going to play to their troops. So we decided to try and put something together on our own to give something back since going through the proper channels was not going to work. We want to let them know that there important to us.
