It was (disappointing) because I wanted to be side by side with all those excellent tight ends. I've got to work with what I've got. I can't look back on the past. I'm just looking toward the future.

Greg Estandia

With as many tight games as we've lost, we could have easily thrown in the towel. But not one of those games have we quit. I'm proud of them.

Tom Chamness

He's actually a pretty unique tight end.

Tony Banks

We understand police are on a tight budget. That's why we have accepted paying the cost ... At the same time, that's what police are there for, to provide safety, to provide services to a situation not foreseen.

Ramiro Medrano

It was a good defensive game both ways. Both teams missed a lot of shots. Both teams were a little tight in the first quarter. It took the kids a while to get loose in a big rivalry with a packed house. But I think our defensive was outstanding.

Steve Leslie

It's never easy with this team. Maybe we don't have the same skill level as last year's team, so it is always a constant battle. This game did personify who we are. Things were tight and close. There's still great satisfaction of where we are and what we have accomplished.

Dave Palmquist

We should be pretty good this year, ... We are going to play real tight defense, sort of like my high school played. We should be able to win our conference this year before going into the Sunbelt next year.

David Manning

I don't think anybody predicted things would be this tight.

Terry Sanderson

People do fantasize about moving, especially when times are tight like this. But it's hard to make that big leap to move.

Bert Sperling

I know the corners. They're really tight, but I know how to run them. He'll have to see how we run them by following us. ... He's going to be playing in our field, but he has tremendous speed.

Bernard Lagat

I'm impressed with that kid. He threw as good a breaking ball as you'll see anywhere. Nobody has a breaking ball that tight. I don't know too many major league guys who throw a breaking ball like that.

Jerry Royster

We were in a tight game to win the league championship and the district final. Our girls are finding ways to pull out games this year. Last year we didn't do that. We have to come out better on Tuesday, or our season will be over.

Chris Deutsch

A solid upside quarter (was) driven by tight expense controls and an improving rate per contract.

Richard Repetto

It's shaping up to be a very tight league. Everyone has already won at least one match.

Noel O'connor

Today, as bond buyers search in this period of very low interest rates and tight credit spreads for every additional basis point of yield they can find, market participants seem to be ignoring the lessons that were learned in prior bust periods, ... By ignoring those hard learned and expensive lessons, such investors are sowing the seeds of future defaults.

Paul Ross

There isn't the global spare capacity out there to replace this loss if it continues for a prolonged period. Already the market is tight as a drum, and if anything else happens, say instability in the Middle East, I wouldn't preclude $100 oil at all.

Bart Melek

We snuck away with one. It was tight the entire game and we made some plays down the stretch.

Nate Hoffmann

Tomasz was outstanding tonight with his win over a great player that he had lost to in the past. His recent form has been helping the team lift in tight situations.

Graeme Cox

We have very tight travel restrictions. It's not like we're going off to Hawaii.

Stephen Wilson

The season series (between us) was really tight. We don't expect anything different for the playoffs.

Glenn Patrick

I got through today and didn't lose for any other reason than being anxious and slightly nervous, and gripping my handle on my racket probably a little too tight.

Alicia Molik

He was a main focus for us on defense. We made it a point to stop him and slow him down. We wanted to keep it tight and play solid, disciplined defense on him.

Nathan Peavy

There is a lot of talent in this fleet and any of the participants can win. It will be real tight racing and our goal is to sail to our best potential.

Philippe Kahn

Nobody would take it to the basket. When they're playing you tight, you have to drive. I told them that the ball wasn't going to go in the basket by itself.

Paige Clawson

We just wanted to play on him tight. But the main thing was we played together. When he drove, my teammates stepped up and stopped the ball. We played team defense on him.

Justin Reynolds

This is going to be very tight until the end of the season. Lyon, Lens and Monaco are going to be tough rivals.

Laurent Fournier

It's a very, very tight space.

Greg Gallaspy

He is tight with his mom. He has such an old-fashioned sense of responsibility. He is the man of the house.

Bill Ross

I have a lot of confidence in this car, ... The first couple of laps we were a little bit tight, but that's normal with the heavy fuel load at the start. As the fuel burned off, the car kept getting better.

Brian Tyler

For a little while, it got very tight and it did look as though we could make a late comeback, ... But, unfortunately it was not to be.

Catriona Matthew

He's an incredible, incredible hitter. He doesn't get any panic. He doesn't get tight. He's just money, man.

Jonathan Papelbon

I thought some of our guys wrestled tight. When they did that, they didn't have a lot in their performance.

Roman Gutierrez

Last weekend was a weekend when a few results kept things very tight. I still believe that it says a lot about the conference that everybody's grouped so closely and that really winning a game at the right time, making a couple of plays at the right time, those are the things that really will determine the standings and the playoff pairings.

Bob Bradley

The reason for the lights is simple. Wellesley has very limited open space, and our playing field space is extremely tight. Having the ability to put lights at Reidy would allow us to, really, double the utilization of our primary field.

Joe Roberts

You have to do as much as you possibly can. It just helps your stock. Every little thing extra you can do, special teams, long snapping, fullback, tight end, it makes you multidimensional. The key is to get them to want to lose you less.

Stephen Spach

The neck and the head feel like one tight crowbar. As far as my focus, it's much better than (Monday) night. I went to bed with a headache, and I woke up clear of that.

Marc Chouinard

Both teams were a little bit tight throughout the match. It wasn't the cleanest of matches, but it certainly had the drama that a lot of people wanted to see.

Craig Pitcher

He's stronger than he looks. When he gets that front butcher on, he's had it on me a few times and it's tight.

Todd Hinegardner

Very tight security situation.

Jill Dougherty

I wouldn't have been disappointed if we were a .500 team right now, but this is great. We have a really tight group and we have 22 kids, which is our deepest team in a long time.

Brian Rolfe

He had a good, tight waist. He tried to tilt me. He was pretty tough on top.

Troy Dolan

Our defense played tight, but we just kept giving them the ball.

Lori Rubino

That made me mad because I throw a couple of pitches down and away, ... But I don't want to leave the game when I'm winning. It was just tight behind my leg, but I still won the game.

Jorge Sosa

LIMB, n. The branch of a tree or the leg of an American woman. 'Twas a pair of boots that the lady bought, And the salesman laced them tight To a very remarkable height -- Higher, indeed, than I think he ought -- Higher than _can_ be right. For the Bible declares -- but never mind: It is hardly fit To censure freely and fault to find With other.

Ambrose Bierce

[In today's tight job market, such candidates can be hard to find.] Here in the Research Triangle (of North Carolina), if your breath makes a smudge on a mirror, you can get a job, ... getting by with guile rather than application of talent.

David Russo

To begin with, we were tight. We played real tense and timid today. They got up early on us, 3-0, before taking the 5-1 lead after one. We then played outstanding defense in the second period, but we weren't able to score offensively.

Scott Demonte

We believe the tight supply environment may be unraveling faster than we previously anticipated, which does not bode well for pricing and bookings relative to our previous expectations.

Chris Danely

Why panic now? We've been gripping it tight. We haven't found ourselves yet.

Tony Amonte

Last year, he played both wideout and tight end, depending on what we wanted to do. That way we figured we could utilize him and get all the best of him. We will do the same thing this year. It just depends on what we have called.

Bob Sapp

I am seriously worried it could cost us a couple of seats, and as tight as things are in the Legislature, it could cost us a majority. We not only have to promote our candidates, but we also have to let people know what the stakes are and how important it is to vote Republican.

Chuck Denowh

I saw my tight end kind of getting held. I thought he would be able to swim through. ... That was totally on me.

Jared Zabransky

They've kept a very tight control over quality. These people are extremely disciplined.

Donald Gher

A lot of the guys hadn't played before and weren't sure how things would go, and were maybe a little tight, but now they can focus on the football and not worry about anything else.

Bo Ruud

We're a very mixed family, but a very, very tight family.

Allan Radel

It's a tight schedule. They would have to have the bridge open to traffic by next summer and there is always a punch list… They are allowed to close the bridge until Memorial Day. If they open it early they can earn a bonus.

Steve Palmer

We aren't going to have any races we think won't be close. We're a fairly young crew, so a lot of our success will come from being in tight races and being able to respond under pressure.

Prentice Stabler

If we think tight control of diabetes is important, then we need a different mind-set.

Dr. William Cefalu

We had heard that Robert supposedly wasn't the type of tight end that we were looking for, but he has fit in pretty well. Robert is more athletic than the modified tackle that we were used to at tight end, and he has showed us that he can be an effective blocker.

Rennie Simmons

They're keeping me at tight end and seeing if I get bigger. If I get bigger, they'll move me to tackle.

Jeff Ide

It's just extremely tight. We're taking it day by day.

Lloyd Little

The consumer wants plenty of crawfish at 1972 prices. That puts us in a pretty tight squeeze.

David Savoy

Right now the market supply for oil is tight.

Dariusz Kowalczyk

Except for two seniors that graduated. They have a tailback committed to University of Tennessee. Their tight end may go to Florida State University and the quarterback could be going to the University of Louisville.

Dixie Jones

I was informed in early January that they had eliminated my job. Financially, times are very tight (at the station). We've made some big investments in the Broncos, Oprah Winfrey and the Web site. The way it was explained to me was that the station budget would no longer support a morning sports guy.

Mark Mcintosh

We beat a great team tonight. We needed our big players to make big plays, and they did. We haven't had a lot of tight games, but we pulled the game through in the fourth ... It was closer than the score. It could have gone either way.

Homer Davis

Overcoming tight labor markets in many regions and the hurricanes' impact in the southeast, we surpassed our expectations for fourth quarter home deliveries. We produced over $2bn in revenues this quarter, which exceeded our entire year's production just five years ago.

Robert Toll

The opener was really tight. Radek left me hardly any chance to break, but my serve worked well, too.

Juan Carlos Ferrero

They handled our line on the strong side. Most of their success went to the tight end side. It wasn't our defense. We knew that (CD running back Vince) Browning could scoot. But overall our defense played well. It was the offense that let us down. Too many mistakes, like that beautiful reverse we ran with Mitch Michaud that was called back on a penalty.

Tim Rimpfel

I pulled myself out. The timing was too tight.

Jim Shaw

It was a tight game for a while, and I thought she was relentless. She wasn't going to let us lose.

Tom Gonsalves

We did an independent analysis of Oregon's numbers, and we came to the conclusion that their science was pretty tight, and accurate. Our own biological assessment says these fish have a lot of pluck. They're very resilient. They're subject to considerable fluctuations, depending on ocean conditions, but they seem to bounce back if they're given the opportunity.

Brian Gorman

It still has to be looked at whether it can be afforded. We're tight at 5 percent.

Jerry Frament

We have seen ongoing momentum in domestic demand and persistently tight capacity constraints, ... We remain concerned that inflation pressures are not abating sufficiently to achieve our medium-term target.

Alan Bollard

Venus told me the other day that champions don't get nervous in tight situations. That really helped me a lot. I decided I shouldn't get nervous and just do the best I can.

Serena Williams

He [Cornelius] is going to have a bigger role in the offense, and [tight end] Tate Casey has to get more involved.

Urban Meyer

The foreign company was planning to invest US$318,647, but only US$70,206 had been materialized so far, because of tight competition with tourism investors in NTB and Bali.

Stanis Tefa

He's the size of a tight end. Just shorter and wider.

Domonique Foxworth

The first night, there was some gunfire. Security is pretty tight.

Lance Lusk

For consumers, a big crop like this tends to stabilize wine prices. For growers, it may slow the rebound in prices for red grape varietals, except pinot noir, which remains in tight supply compared to the strong demand.

Nick Frey

In this type of game, when it's played like that in the first half - and probably in the district and region - if we forget about a good shooter, it could cost us down the line in a tight ballgame.

Mike Quarto

There is so much uncertainty with energy prices, and that is why we are caught in a tight trading range here. Over the next few months you will see how Katrina will benefit or hurt the market, and there is a wait-and-see attitude among investors.

Brad Pleimann

Money is very tight right now, ... You can't go to a bank and ask for a commercial loan if you don't have a business to show them, no profit and loss statements because you're not doing any business.

David Stout

This is a great concept, because it will allow more of the Air Force's tight budget to go directly to supporting war-fighting efforts and help us get much-needed facilities faster, ... It would be a win for the 45th Space Wing, in terms of mission and quality of life enhancements, and the local community, in terms of economic development.

Jack Gibson

If anything, our demand is going down, which is good in a tight supply environment.

Linda Casey

It would remove some production from an already tight market.

Ian Synnott

We expected a battle and knew the matches would be tight.

Wade Stueve

The fact that we got 70 shots is amazing. Our shots, a great majority of them, were in and out, literally. That?s being a little bit tight maybe, and that happens when you play against a great team. I?m really proud of my team because I think we battled.

Agnus Berenato

I think they're going to be tough. That stuff we did during the regular season doesn't even matter. That's nothing. We expect nothing but a tight, nail-biting game that's going to go right down to the wire.

Gordon Hartwell

The women will be meeting many of the best teams in the country, so we will need our shoes to be laced up pretty tight.

Bruce Lehane

What we did find was that the women were more interested in the bulls. We thought tight Wranglers would be the top reason women would go, but it wasn't. It was the bulls. So we started merchandising the bulls, and our bull merchandise outsells our cowboy merchandise.

Randy Bernard

I always tell the players to keep their neck muscles tight or firm them up so you don't strain their neck. The main point is that you always want to attack the ball and not let it attack you. You don't want the ball to hit you. You want to hit the ball. You have to be somewhat aggressive.

Johnny Ramos

I thought we put in a pretty good effort. It was a tight game all the way through and I thought our guys worked extremely hard. It's tough. We're in every game. Guys are coming to play every night and it's got to turn around for us.

Nathan Paetsch

I'm going to try [to pitch]. I'm not going to say it's going to happen, but I feel better. It's not tight anymore.

Jeremy Bonderman

Russia's position is very tight.

Chris Weafer

For the first time in 10 years, the first of the month (of March) was a tight squeeze.

Doug Bennett

It's going to be tight.

Michael Burdette

I'm not showing tight shots of rotting corpses. We've tried to be respectful. We don't want anyone to find out on television that their family is dead.

Anderson Cooper

We didn't play a good first period. We came out too tight at the start, but even though we got down, we never gave up.

Karen Mccabe

Market operators are aware that the gasoline market will be tight this summer because of the specification changes. The main concern a couple weeks ago was that supply was more than plentiful, but when you look at gasoline stockpiles, they don't reflect the gasoline that will actually be used in summer.

Alexandre Kervinio

Making the case for additional agricultural disaster in other regions will be a challenge at a time when budgets are tight.

John Crabtree

It requires that people be really tight, family tight, and that they know each other extremely well. So I think that's part of the reason why we're able to do it, because we're such old friends and almost sort of symbiotic in certain respects.

Kurt Voss

The truck is filled so tight, cockroaches couldn't crawl to the front.

Dr. Michael Harris

In this day and age of tight budgets and another override vote on its way - and I'm still pro-school - how does it look? They're paying this guy three years salary to stay home. I know people would think I'm nuts, but I'd rather be working. Plus, those that don't know me are going to be thinking there must be something to those charges.

Norman Swerling

Gasoline stocks are going to become tight. We're going to see May and June contracts above $2.

James Cordier

Now that we have a running game and working the tight end in there, we are going to have a pretty good offense this year.

Rob Myers

My legs were really tight today, so I didn't run all my events. I saw what I can improve, and I need to work on my start in the 60.

Laclaire Carter

I think the reason the league has done so well is that we're a tight-knit group.

Al Thrasher

That's how tight our kids are. I'd like to walk to all our games, but we'd have to play here again.

Rich Irr

The presidential race is still tight so market will be skittish, ... Tech stocks will probably trade sideways.

Ted Parrish

A lot of guys showed resiliency. We just came up with big plays. It's kind of like old times, tight game, fourth quarter, two minutes, the defense on the field.

Anthony Mcfarland

Compliance regulations mandate that organizations maintain tight controls regarding who can access specific information. Thus, it is increasingly important to provide search technology that delivers results customized to the user's role within the organization. Oracle Secure Enterprise Search 10g addresses this need.

Robert Shimp

I don't talk about it a lot. The girls that were here last year know what it takes, and that's a plus, but we haven't beaten Regina this regular season. But if it's anything like this past weekend, it's going to be three really tight games.

Jon Rempel

I guess you could say that Courtney is a jack of all trades. He can block, he can catch. Flem is ... the blocking tight end and I'm the receiving guy.

Randal Williams

While last weekend got a bit tight towards the end, we got across the line and that was the important thing.

Pat Lam

It was a great ball game tonight. Both pitchers did an outstanding job. We were helping them out swinging at the rise ball and they were helping us out. It was a tight game. It came down to the sixth inning where we needed the run. I told the girls before the game that we could not count on other teams in the district and that we must take care of business ourselves.

Michelle Rochinski

We're looking for a relatively good year in 2006, given that wages are up and the labor market is fairly tight.

John Anania

The county's budget is very tight at this point. We're already barely making ends meet.

Tammy Robertson

I thought we came out a little tight in the beginning of both halves. It took us a long time to get going. We had some jitters and we didn't play the way we played all season long.

Tom Keane

I think they're doing what they can do and we appreciate that. I think they have a timetable that's very tight and having the extra month is terrific. I don't know what else they really could do at this point.

Ruth Pelham

I am happy for Antonio. He came out and played great today, one of the best games I have ever seen by a tight end.

Tony Gonzalez

(Justin) wrestled a little tight, but he did well. He wasn't where he needs to be, but he has this week to reflect and tweak the little things.

John Heckathorne

I will keep it tight for the first round, take a good look at him and take it from there. I intend to outbox him; I like to dictate the pace and to keep things sharp.

Dave Stewart

The world abhors closeness, and all but admires extravagance; yet a slack hand shows weakness, and a tight hand strength.

Thomas Fowell Buxton

It will be a tight match against the Czechs and we must change something in our play.

Victor Piturca

We're all very tight here. We all know each other.

Deb Shupinski

Our defense was really tight against a really good offensive team.

Larry Fleming

We were a lot faster on the banking, and the BMWs seemed to be going pretty wide. We were able to hold it tight and get a run out of there. We started out on scrubbed tires, and I overshot it a bit on the first couple laps, expecting too much from them. The balance of the tires came back and I was able to charge forward and give the car to Jan with the lead.

Paul Edwards

I look for it to be a very tight game. Both of these teams are very fundamentally sound and very well coached. They both have outstanding top-tier players. I'm not picking that one.

Mike Conrad

We've been here before. We don't get tense when the game gets tight. We just play Uniondale ball.

Lance Feurtado

It will be tight but doable.

Gabriel Claudio

That's lovely (to have Long at tight end). I love running behind Matt. He's like a big bulldozer. I'll run behind Matt any day. Whoever's in front of him, he's slamming them. I'll be honest, I don't want to hop in front of him. I'm getting out of the way.

Cameron Smith

Given the intensity and the path of Katrina, damage to oil infrastructures in the Gulf of Mexico is forecast to be more serious than Ivan. With current production losses, the gasoline market will continue to be tight in the short run as summer driving season comes to an end.

Makoto Takeda

Anybody can win any day. It's shaping up to be a real tight finish.

Ryan Mollica

They attack on defense and they play really tight, so it's easier to penetrate against when they are that tight one you.

Jordan Romero

Our family, we believe in discipline. You've got to have it, ... Brian and Margo run a tight ship. Sure, the kids get away with things. But they do good.

Teresa Williams

It's actually a plus. Because it brings someone with some additional and new kinds of experience into a group of people whose lives have been pretty much consumed with working inside the judiciary and inside the law in a very tight-knit way.

Kermit Hall

It's usually a tight defensive struggle against them.

Jim Frederick

Their schedule was too tight. Maybe next year.

Giulio Scalinger

I didn't really pay much attention to it. I liked him. I thought he was a nice kid; he was unusually nice. But we weren't tight.

Jim Wilkes

I'm happy because these are the kinds of matches where you're under pressure. At the start, they were very tight, but I'm happy the way they played and came out with wins.

Guy Forget

The growth in spending is significantly lower than what we've seen in past years, and clearly the president, who is responding to pressure in his own party, wanted to show he was serious about putting forward a budget that was tight on spending.

Maya Macguineas

Our tight ends work as much with the line as they do with receivers and backs. I've been pretty pleased with his progress in practice. He'll have some problems here and there at the beginning, but he is a big target who can also catch the ball.

Mike Hidde

I came in tight and he tried to duck underneath, and I came right up under his chest. He fell back, and the ball came loose. As far as I'm concerned, it was a legal hit.

Lance Briggs

He's a can't-miss guy. With his size and speed and athletic ability, (colleges) have shown interest in him as a linebacker, tight end or H-back or fullback. Then with his grades, he's the total package.

Rick Wimmer

Money is tight. I'm seeing a lot less sushi this year than I've seen in a long time.

Joan Steinberg

The refs were calling a real tight game. You could tell the frustration on both team's part.

Troy Wiese

Now I can finally start gripping my stick a little less tight and start playing my game hopefully. It was a good way to get the first one. It just bounced right to me for an easy tap in.

Brandon Bochenski

We come from a tough, working class background, so we're very tight.

Tony Scott

The guys did a great job defensively. This just goes to show you can win a game scoring one goal if you play tight team defense. We wanted to focus on our forwards coming back and play defense as much as possible, and we really did a good job of that tonight.

Bryan Bridges

Because the market was so tight, and still is tight, people just can't find a home that they want to go into, or don't want to pay-- they want to make the money on the sale, they don't want to spend it on a new home. So instead, they're cashing out the equity in that house and finishing off the basement or putting an addition on.

Joe Sinagra

We had that losing streak after we won five in a row, and I think we kind of doubted ourselves. But we've come back and started playing again. All season, we've been in tight games, and we've been pulling some of those out now.

Bobby Davis

These girls are a tight group. They just support each other and they do not panic. They make mistakes, but they do not agonize over them for long.

Mike Beaumont

It's between the team with a huge amount of pent-up enthusiasm versus the team that's got a storied history, a national following. And when we look at the data, it's just a tight, tight race.

Bill Furlong

I just had some weird service games in which I felt tight without any reason, ... Maybe it's because the first match at home is always difficult for me.

Paradorn Srichaphan

For the first time since I've been here, I was seeing a few double teams, ... That's going to help the offense, having two guys covering me instead of the defense saying, 'Don't worry about the tight end.' They've got to start game-planning more than what they had to do in the past as far as the tight-end position.

Chris Baker

We are really excited about the incoming student-athletes. We addressed the wide receiver position; we addressed the tight end and running back deficiency we have. We still have some holes to fill, but I really think we brought in a great quality of class in terms of academics, character and talent.

Bill Cubit

Those hot pants of hers were so damned tight, I could hardly breathe.

Benny Hill

For smaller businesses, their budgets are often so tight that they're really fretful about putting money into prevention because they're not sure it's a tangible investment for them.

Lauve Metcalfe

There was a lot of strong competition, there were a lot of people pushing each other. It was a cold day and every body is tight. With the hurdles, it was tough to get up for. I got off to a good start and didn't hit any hurdles, so that helps.

Ryan Ferguson

My sense of it is that most people's lives are so scheduled, economically tight and monotonous that seeing someone tanned or glowing from an exciting or restful trip is difficult to bear.

Sonya Friedman

I don't know how the rules changes will affect the playoffs, and if the playoffs will be called tight. We'll see how many fights go on. But it's something we know we have. It's a comfort to have on the team.

Jed Ortmeyer

When districts get tight financially, they're cut back. When there is pressure to improve math scores, they show up again. Most districts are looking for any solution they can find to help meet annual yearly progress under No Child Left Behind.

Cathy Seeley

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. But at the end of the game, our kids deserved some credit for rising to the occasion. I'm proud that we didn't let go of the rope. I would like to have less mistakes and I would like to execute better, but again, we're walking away with a win.

Terry Wilczek

We have a group of guys who believe they can match anyone in this league but all the margins are very tight.

John Brain

But I'm dying now and done for, / What on earth was all the fun for? / For I'm old and ill and terrified and tight.

John Betjeman

They give chances all night long. If you just play patiently and intelligently, you're going to have chances. Bury them, and you'll win games. We didn't do that. Portland plays a wide-open game because they've got prolific scorers. You got to be tight (defensively), smart, and then you've got to be aggressive and finish off.

Robbie Ftorek

If I have to compare myself to anybody, it would probably be a little mix between Tony Gonzalez and Antonio Gates just because of our backgrounds with basketball and everything. I'm able to position myself to catch balls in the air that some tight ends maybe couldn't.

Marcedes Lewis

We'll have to be respectful of our democratic institutions and postpone the celebration of our irreversible triumph for another 24 hours. We didn't expect such a tight race.

Oscar Arias Sanchez

It was written with lock-tight language to avoid any sort of lawsuit having any real chance of success.

Kelly Shackelford

I think the race is going to be pretty tight.

Troy Corser

He fell awkwardly into the boards. We pulled him out, he's a little tight in the shoulder. If it's sore tomorrow, we're going to hold him out, we're not going to take any risk with it.

Jim Mccrossin

Our guys have been here before and I was real proud of the character and guts our kids showed at the end. It was a tight game, but I never saw us panic. That's the mark of a good team and I think our kids were comfortable in the environment.

Brad Barton

Insurance CIO/ CTO Pressures, Priorities, Projects, and Plans for 2006: Survey Results. In general, 2006 looks to be much like 2005. Insurers are focusing on growth, updating key core systems, embracing more flexible and affordable architectures and resource strategies, and doing it all under tight supervision from the business side.

Matthew Josefowicz

I had three match points on my own serve and couldn't convert one of them. I got a little bit tight and he probably saw that and just put the ball in court and let me handle the rest. To come back after that is a tough thing to do. I didn't serve well at the important points. If I'd served well on the match points I'd be sitting here as a winner.

Thomas Johansson

We came out with our best offensive output of the year in the first quarter. We had a 12-0 run to open the game. From that point on it was a tight game. You've got to give a lot of credit to the kids from Odessa. They battled right to the end.

Mike Gill

Tight cost controls remain in effect, and our actions in 2005 resulted in a 5% year-over-year staff reduction, or approximately 1,200 positions across the company, and lower compensation expense.

Dennis Fitzsimons

The interest rate worries are still there. The downside is still high, and for next week, the market will be locked in a tight range between 15,200 and 15,500 as the index futures contracts roll over.

Linus Yip

It shows that we can play in tight game, instead of getting buried. But we still need to be able to win on the road.

Pat Knight

We were in a tight market before all the hurricanes. And we won't be able to recover from the supplies that were turned off.

Chad Jones

You may have mistaken this for your meeting of the ignorant tight-asses club but in this building, when the President stands, nobody sits.

Martin Sheen

We decided to run right at the right tackle and tight end.

Jim Kelliher

They are better than Raines, ... They've got the folks. They've got a Super 11 receiver [Jamal Harvey], a tailback that is as good as ours, a huge tight end - it's going to be a great game.

Joe Reynolds

I came out a little nervous, a little tight. Once I got up a few breaks, I just found my rhythm and found my shot.

Alex Hume

Iraqi businessmen had been bringing back the funds that they held abroad. Now that it doesn't look like the oil income is going to come, Iraq is going to be in a very difficult situation. There's going to be a tightening of belts that are already so tight that they're cutting off circulation.

Patrick Clawson

Hope should be okay but Sancho's hamstring is a bit tight. It's a blow as he did well for us at Brentford.

Neale Cooper

You can imagine I hold the envelopes very tight that night.

Rick Rosas

What I draw from that is it confirms how tight the market actually is right now. To us, the big picture is we are in a situation globally and here in the U.S. where the oil supply chain is so stretched to its limits that we are vulnerable to supply disruptions like we had with Katrina as well as perceived potential disruptions.

Doug Macintyre

For us to make this comeback, we have to be more aggressive, show more aggressive play. They just seemed a little bit tight this morning. Tomorrow they need to come out firing hard early.

Dean Johansen

Being prepared for the unexpected is particularly important when travel is experiencing a growth surge, as it is now. Crowds, severe weather and tight connections affect the entire travel experience, so it's better to be safe than sorry.

Beth Godlin

He's a really good athlete, and we kind of lost some numbers at tight end. We thought he could help us out there, and he did.

George Yarno

They've been putting me at tight end, but we've got a young line so I might be switching back to guard. I'd love (to play tight end). I'd love to catch some balls.

Peter Martin

This spread has been unseasonably wide so far in 2006, reflecting the tight available supply of market ready cattle, especially in the south.

Kevin Good

None of this is fixed in stone at this point. (The tight schedule) is a little aggressive, but I think it's doable.

Jim Szabo

Coming out of high school, I never really had too much adversity. I was calling my mom and she was stressed, not know if I wanted to be here, if I needed to be here. I prayed about it. They moved me to tight tend, then I earned my position at guard.

Ben Grubbs

This is such a tight market for all petrochemical and refined products that they needed to do this. Every day of discontinued or reduced production is a day of lost profit or lost profit opportunity.

David Dismukes

When these things were built 100 or 300 years ago, they just dug a ditch. There are places where the water goes through tight clay soil and it doesn't leak much - and others where it's gravel and it leaks like a sieve.

David Gensler

We don't like to play a deep sweeper like some teams. We like to step up our players to keep it tight in the midfield. It's something I've picked up coaching at higher levels.

Gene Klein

Turner is arguably the best tight end in the state of Missouri. But, not only does he do a fantastic job offensively, at defensive end he's very difficult to run the football on -- or throw.

Will Christian

I think Marco made a pretty big mistake on top and I made some mistakes on the bottom, so I knew it was going to be real tight. I had the opportunity to shut the door if I had a clean run, and I didn't do that.

Scott Macartney

Small businesses are an extremely important source of new jobs in California, and I am heartened that they are set to increase their staffing level this year. As those companies begin to hire additional workers, however, they are likely to find it more difficult to locate the best-suited individuals for the positions available, because the California labor market is becoming increasingly tight.
