James P. Cannon
He's a player who eliminates his rivals ... leaving them without any hope of recovery.
Jorge Valdano
I really think we're the best tandem not only in the area, but in the country. On and off the court I've never respected somebody as much as I respect him (Henderson). He's a great player and a great friend. We'll continue to be great friends, now we're just rivals.
Wayne Ellington
We are really honored. It means so much more since our peers -- who are at times our rivals -- are the voters. This honor brings responsibility and the challenge to do an even better job in 2006.
Charlie Jones

Dave Meyer
It is an outstanding four-wheel-drive off-roader, as you'd expect from Land Rover, ... And on road, compared with its rivals, we believe it is less frenetic, more refined and more comfortable. It all adds up to the broadest range of capability in its class.

We came out flat to start the game. Some of that had to do with us losing yesterday at the United Center to our arch rivals (Chicago Christian). We kept fighting and started hitting some shots.

George Magliano
We need to win this game in order to increase the advantage on our rivals.

The big thing is it's dangerous. There are not enough officials for three at each game and maybe not even two. You need three referee's to control a physical game between rivals. And if the fields are slippery that could be even more dangerous.
John Rafferty
The figures were a positive surprise. One should not forget, however, that Mercedes Car Group has suffered a sharp decline in European new car registrations (in January) in comparison to its main rivals BMW and Audi.
Heino Ruland
[Playing against our rivals] will be great. We wouldn't rather play anyone else, especially since they've beaten us three times this year already. … We're going to go all out. This game will make or break us, so we're going to give 110 percent.
Theo Brunner
[In late 2003, Nokia started losing ground to its rivals after failing to gauge the popularity of folding phones and models with cameras and other new features.] We put it down to the three Cs: Nokia was weak in color, camera and clamshell, which were the three boom areas in 2003 and early 2004, ... It was quite a way behind the curve on those.

Wayne Bennett
When it comes to girl bands, we're all rivals.
Jenny Frost
The car we will offer will be aimed at young families who haven't been able to afford a new car. There isn't a positive image of Chinese products in the US now, but the grandson of this car will not be put out to US consumers until it has superior quality to its rivals.

Russ Guffey
We are not giving up on the Champions League. Our rivals will have their dips in form before the end of the season.
Mirko Slomka

Tracy Egeland
Hey, they're our rivals. (And) as far as I'm concerned, I want to kill them. Point blank.
Fendi Onobun
Phillips was a big win because we were playing one of our cross town rivals. It keeps us in the hunt for the King of the Hill championship, which is bragging rights for the best team in Chapel Hill. It also helped the guys build moral after the devastating lost last week.

Howard Schultz
BA has raised business class fares by around 35 percent over the past two years, compared to 15 to 16 per cent by its European rivals. Now the chickens have come home to roost.

Mark Caine
