Quarterbacks have to ask the crowd to quiet down. Pitchers never do.
It's high time something was done for the pitchers. They put up the stands and take down fences to make more home runs and plague the pitchers. Let them revive the spitter and help the pitchers make a living.
Ask not of me, love, what is love? Ask what is good of God above; Ask of the great sun what is light; Ask what is darkness of the night; Ask sin of what may be forgiven; Ask what is happiness of heaven; Ask what is folly of the crowd; Ask what is fashion of the shroud; Ask what is sweetness of thy kiss; Ask of thyself what beauty is.
You have to have quarterbacks who can keep up with everybody else. And I'm not saying that just black quarterbacks can do that, but more black quarterbacks are given a chance because they fit the mold.
If I sense trouble, I ask the crowd to calm down and step back.
Sometimes I ask at concerts, how many of you are on Twitter, and the crowd goes crazy. Then I ask about Facebook, and the crowd goes even more crazy.
There are more teams looking for pitchers than there are pitchers. That's why it's pricey.
Quiet is peace. Tranquility. Quiet is turning down the volume knob on life. Silence is pushing the off button. Shutting it down. All of it.
Defy the crowd. The crowd isn’t always wise. It can also lead you down a path of silliness, sub-optimal choices, and downright destruction. Enchantment is as necessary for people to diverge from a crowd as it is to get people to join one.
The quarterbacks that win... those are the quarterbacks that are talked about for being great.
Kids are doing more in their offseason. That's what the college quarterbacks, the pro quarterbacks do. That's how you get better.
When people ask me, "Who was the toughest pitcher you ever faced?", I have to say that there has never been a pitcher who over-impressed me. That's not meant to be a bragging statement. It's just that I get up for good pitchers.
You could ask any position player and they'll tell you: pitchers aren't athletes.
If anybody should be a judge of quarterbacks, I've played with the most quarterbacks in NFL history throughout my first four years.
The better quarterbacks are real consistent. Rookie quarterbacks are not.
Great quarterbacks, good quarterbacks, make plays.
Too many pitchers, that's all, there are just too many pitchers Ten or twelve on a team. Don't see how any of them get enough work. Four starting pitchers and one relief man ought to be enough. Pitch 'em every three days and you'd find they'd get control and good, strong arms.
