ROPE, n. An obsolescent appliance for reminding assassins that they too are mortal. It is put about the neck and remains in place one's whole life long.

Ambrose Bierce
It's the old adage that you tie a knot at the end of the rope and try to hang on.

Dave Hakstol

We had a couple of turnovers, a couple of penalties and a couple of missed assignments, and that's when the game got really tight.

I would like to have less mistakes and I would like to execute better, but again, we're walking away with a win.

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.

I love this horse, and I really love him in the Travers. He's fit and sound and eager. He's like a fighter right now; he's acting like Ali. He strikes with the front and kicks with the back and does the rope-a-dope and everything. He's really matured.
Angel Cordero Jr.
