I would need to see it from where the umpire was standing. But if he sees him [Locklear] restricting that player from getting to the quarterback with his arm wrapped around him, then he can call a hold. As I remember the play, he got his arm around the neck, so by the letter of the law that's restricting, and it's a hold.

It's because I am a coward. At school, when there were fights, I'd run away. I have always been scared of physical violence. Perhaps that's the reason. But it also angers me to see gratuitous violence, wrapped up like chewing gum to be consumed. It's irritating; it's cynical.
Michael Haneke

Until now, there's been a lot of skepticism whether these shrink-wrapped licenses are enforceable, ... UCITA says this is a contract, so all arguments that have existed in the past go out the window. The only hope you have is that the Supreme Court will rule that it's pre-empted.
Jonathan Band
Getting to all of Jerome's games throughout the years has been hectic and real expensive, but well worth it. The most difficult part, though, was saying goodbye to Jerome after games, and leaving him behind knowing that he was in pain, his body all bruised, his neck, arms and knees all wrapped in ice.
Johnnie Bettis
The last thing I want to do is be mollycoddled or be wrapped up in cotton wool, because if I was to join the Army, I would want to go where my men went, and I'd want to do what they did. I would not want to be kept back for being precious, or whatever - that's the last thing I would want.
Prince William

Jay Watson

Vince Megna
One of the grotesqueries of present-day American life is the amount of reasoning that goes into displaying the wisdom secreted in bad movies while proving that modern art is meaningless.

Harold Rosenberg

Joe Householder
I remember the first show Riley was involved in. She was showing one of my dogs. The dog became very nervous and agitated before the competition. Riley had read in a book that if you wrapped a dog and cradled him, he'll relax. Riley took a ribbon out of her hair, wrapped the pup in it, and cradled him a little. The dog calmed down instantly.

(The Parole Board) ... is currently wrapped in secrecy and that secrecy was there initially for good reason.

Jay Powell
If some of our works are symphonies, then wrapped walkways was chamber music.
Christopher Lasch
It was wrapped tight. The duct tape was probably in three maybe four spots. Both ends were bundled up and rope was in the middle and then there was a cinder-block. I guess that would be towards the head of it.
Joe Cornelius
Five kids were looking out of a picture window and were pointing. They probably were thinking this year Santa is here really early, but we sure had them wrapped up. You should have seen their faces! It was great.

Then one of my coaches told me to just enjoy it because it was the last time.

So, I made sure I wrapped that thing perfect.
Ian Shannon

John Reilly
There's a lot of money wrapped up in that. I think I have a lot of experience that would be relevant to those decisions.

We wrapped 467 age-appropriate paperback books for the kids.

Interesting, ... I can see you're the kind of woman who gets all wrapped up in her work.

Jennifer Antkowiak
I think we all kind of thought those would be the most fun, the fight scenes. And they were the most challenging. Physically exhausting and complicated and kind of very specific and intricate, so they just took a long time to film. I think that we all thought that we'd get to set, have a punch up and we'd get it on film and be wrapped, but it wasn't quite like that.
Charlie Hunnam
They were wrapped up in blankets. They couldn't clap.
Patti Labelle
We're not playing for the Valley (title) anymore. It seems like that's going to be wrapped up by Midland. We're playing for districts. We're playing to beat Midland in the districts, and we're playing for the end of the season right now.
Jeff Richards
We fully anticipate that those conversations will take place in the next two weeks. I would like to see us wrapped up on the budget no later than Friday, April 7. We can actually sit and have those conversations beginning Monday.

Yes, I've been keeping these 'children' of mine in bondage in my wine cellar and finally had the strength to let them go. Everyone was amazed at how much of our lives' history was wrapped up in these wines.
David Peterson
You can think of this structure as a giant, magnetic Slinky wrapped around a long, finger-like interstellar cloud. The magnetic field lines are like stretched rubber bands the tension squeezes the cloud into its filamentary shape.
Timothy Robishaw
You know, people want someone to tell them the answer, ... They want a friend, or a teacher, or a parent - but above all I guess they just want to know. And the truth is you can't tell them, and that's a hard thing to deal with. And it's easy to get wrapped up in the idea that this person knows - that he will tell me what I need to know, what I need to live - because he means a lot to me.
Michael Pitt
Wrapped every single thing with newspaper, everything from wreaths on the wall to my computer keyboard and mouse.

Sonny Vaccaro
They score their first goal when we're still wrapped up with what happened with Mac.
Brian Elliott
I really think it is a sin to have a collection sitting in boxes that nobody ever sees. These works were made for display, for human communication. To be sitting wrapped up neatly for me to make a profit on them is wrong.
Paul Robertson
I know we wrapped up the No. 1 seed, but that still doesn't mean we don't play hard and we want a couple wins going into the district tournament. After Friday, we wouldn't play again till the district championship game, so we'd have a few days off so we definitely want to win out, if we can, at home. I mean, they're going to be two tough games back-to-back.
Brian Smith
They were just like that, they allowed each other's hobbies. They were all ready for Christmas, their presents wrapped ... and they had a little free time, and it's just like Laci to let Scott go do something he wanted to do and she wanted to do a little more shopping privately, that was their agreement and it was only for a few hours. It should have been OK.
Jackie Peterson
We tend to get wrapped up in the music, but a teacher once told me that songs are monologues set to music, and I wanted to get hold of the story, the emotions and the people.
Jeff Dillon
There is no smaller package in the world that that of a person all wrapped up in himself.
William Sloane Coffin, Jr.
There's nine games left, that's a lot time and anything can happen but we're trying not to even think about that right now. You can't get to wrapped up in that right now or it will all go down the hill.
Lindsay Bowen
The housing situation will remain the same until this investigation is wrapped up, which could be in a few days.
Robby Cunningham
I've talked to her mother a few times, and she's doing okay. She was banged up pretty bad. There's not much left of the vehicle. It was wrapped around the corner of the building, and you can see where the wheels were embedded in the concrete. She's pretty lucky.
Bob Stocker
You know what [this week] means, but you can't get wrapped up in it. You have to play your role and play as hard as you can and trust that that will be enough.
David Oliver
They said, 'What have you got? We just unloaded an entire load of clothing in black lawn bags. None of it was sorted,' ... Our load was put on pallets. It was put in boxes with labels, shrink-wrapped. All they had to do was unload it, take it down on the street.
Chris Doyle
The end of shrink-wrapped software in a box and the start of the Internet-based services era. It marks a turning point in the industry.
Carmi Levy
I feel the garment of Christ being pulled over our shoulders. I am new... I finally sleep, wrapped in the beauty of the word, Savior.
Laurel Lee
I cannot forecast to you the action of Russia. It is a riddle wrapped in a mystery inside an enigma: but perhaps there is a key. That key is Russian national interest.
Sir Winston Churchill
We're hoping it will be wrapped up at that time.
Pam Thompson
Personally, I wrapped things up with my past a while ago and I don't know whether this signals the end, but it definitely signals a beginning. And I think we're all here because of that beginning.
Robert Deleo
Delphi has set a deadline where they want everything wrapped up by (Thursday).
Lauren Asplen
The way you overcome shyness is to become so wrapped up in something that you forget to be afraid.
Lady Bird Johnson
It should all be wrapped up by week's end.
Mayor Damian Goulbourne
He's always pushing the guy forward whenever he finished off the run. A guy looked like he had him wrapped up on the tackle -- he had his arms around his waist, trying to drag him down, and he spun with his lower body and with that great linebacker strength he shook that tackle and scored.
Marty Redmond
When you know you can finish second the intensity is not there. We still wanted to win, but we knew that if we didn't make any major mistakes we had league wrapped up. We're happy because we maintained the streak.
Steve Wolf
It's huge for us, but at the same time we can't focus on any team other but ourselves. If you get too wrapped up in that, you lose sight of what you're really here for.
Hayley Peirsol
The first couple of years, it was exciting but this year she's a little more focused. She doesn't get all wrapped up on the hoopla ? until she wins.
Susan Mcguire
My shows are planned and scripted only so far as it allows me to lose the sense of where I am and get wrapped up in what I'm doing. Every night, I want to get that feeling of being surprised by what's coming out (onstage).
Andrew Bird
They came in here and absolutely lit it up. Had we won that game, we probably would have the league title wrapped up. Now we have to take care of business and see what happens (this week).
Ryan Sanchez
Then one day in 1992 out of the clear blue I got a call from a woman who wanted me to speak with her and her husband about our foundation. I took them to lunch at Wheeler's and explained what we were trying to do. I wrapped it up by asking them what they had in mind dollar-wise.
Dean Chase
We know it?s an accomplishment, but we don?t want to get wrapped up looking into the past. We just want to improve each game.

Jeff Bridges
Napster for the Mac provides the total Napster experience wrapped in a Mac-friendly user interface.
Shawn Fanning
Her large colon got wrapped around a stomach muscle near her spleen. She couldn't eat or go to the bathroom, she kept throwing herself against the wall or rolling on the ground, she was in so much pain.
Jamie Woodruff
The kids were screaming, they were in shock and one kid definitely had a broken leg. Another kid, a cable that's on the street over there was wrapped around the kid's neck, he couldn't breathe, so we tried moving that out of the way, but I didn't want to move the kids because I was afraid that any movement would hurt them. I just wanted to make sure they were protected from any additional injury.
Dennis Bonilla
The corruption at the UN didn't begin with the Oil for Food scandal and it certainly doesn't end there. The United Nations is nothing more than bureaucracy piled atop waste, wrapped in fraud, covered with abuse -- all of it funded by American taxpayers who foot 22 percent of UN dues -- more than any other nation. We also pour billions of dollars more into the coffers of its related agencies.
Oliver North
A lot of people then were wrapped up in the idea of being rich and powerful, and the 'yuppie' movement arose. But some, like Robbie and Julia, didn't fit into that mold.
Chad Beguelin
I think what we all are hoping for is resolution sooner rather than later. I'm not sure that Gore's speech at noon today would reinforce the belief that this would get wrapped up quickly. (Some) segments of the market will do well whether it's Microsoft or drug stocks, but I think it might be a little bit premature.
Greg Valliere
I don't think it helps the Liberals very much when one of the people who's supposed to be their cleanest minister gets wrapped up in something this ugly.
Monte Solberg
I was not going to miss this trip. We did it based on the belief the Democratic-controlled House and Senate would have things wrapped up.
Jim Durkin
I teach US History, but it's wrapped up in social studies. He's getting to apply what he's learned here in school and take that out into the real world.
Len Sommers
She was past weeping, wrapped in the ineffable solitude of grief.
Lady Mabell Airlie
We have a complex case with complex legal questions that got wrapped into a ball and rolled in here, ... It's just not presented in a way that a court can rationally deal with at this time.
Richard Kramer
Allegheny County has not signed a contract. We're hoping to get things wrapped up relatively soon.
Kevin Evanto
They are keeping the source code, (which) means that their product becomes wrapped in it and encapsulated, and in a sense (this is) going against the ideals and benefits of what made Linux useful to them in the first place.
Mark White
We will take advantage to differentiate our product. Tennessee and Virginia will do the same thing. They [North Carolina legislators] will need to correct it pretty quickly if they want a lottery that achieves what they want to achieve in North Carolina. ... That's been gift-wrapped for the three bordering lotteries.
Ernie Passailaigue
Most of the roundtables have been wrapped up in by-laws, but are now moving ahead into substantive stuff and talking about issues. The danger is that the procedural stuff will turn some people off. During the next month or two months, we'll be making the shift from talking about rules and choosing leadership to how we work in a collaborative manner.
Eric Hecox
He had it wrapped in a towel.
Eric Vinson
He has the whole package wrapped in one - he can shoot, dribble, pass, rebound, block shots. He can do it all. It will be a long time before another guy like that comes along here.
Emanuel Davis
I wrapped them and I told him an angel sent them. He thought he wasn't going to get any presents.
Elsy Rodriguez
Proponents cleverly wrapped the word reform around the amendment, ... But calling a mule a thoroughbred doesn't make it one.
Eliot Spitzer
I wish the state of enthusiasm I am now in may last, for today I FELT there is a God. I have been devotional and my mind has been led away from the follies that it is mostly wrapped up in.
Elizabeth Fry
The Owl and the Pussy-Cat went to sea/ In a beautiful pea-green boat,/ They took some honey, and plenty of money,/ Wrapped up in a five-pound note.
Edward Lear
I have been in Sorrow's kitchen and licked out all the pots. Then I have stood on the peaky mountain wrapped in rainbows, with a harp and sword in my hands.
