What is disappointing is that we have to choose, or pay big money to have one of each.

However, if enough of my favorite movies are available on one format or the other, then that might drive me to purchase one sooner.

Brian Peterson

It's not about us. Doug's got a good situation as the head coach at a school that's growing very fast. Tag Rome is over there coaching him on the sidelines. Mark Miller who was (at ULM as a linebacker) is a defensive coach for them. It will be fun.

Stan Humphries

During the games when we'd play, you'd see the women coming off the sidelines, holding babies and putting them down to bat. And then, hearing all of those different languages was neat.

Marion Barry

(Knox) was frustrated with me anyway, throughout the early game, and that kind of iced it for him. I looked to the sidelines, and I saw him, first of all, throw his play sheet. Then he took off his hat - it was a double - and threw his hat down. I just remember walking off to the furthest side of the field, to not go by him.

Jim Zorn

I'm not going to claim, 'We're not having any picks, but we're a great secondary,' ... No. We need to create turnovers. But I don't care how many balls you catch, if you're getting toasted up the sidelines or beat on comebacks or beat across the middle, that turnover won't help you win the game.

Will Peterson

This little bounce, I don't think it's going to hold. Until you get some settlement in Iraq, there's no change in the outlook. With all the big pools of money sitting on the sidelines, I don't see a sustainable rally.

Jim Volk

The preliminary idea is to use the sidelines. Right now, we don't put that much on the field anyway. This way parents will be closer to their kids and friends and family will be closer to seeing them. It might be a blessing in disguise.

Don Kowalchik

The market was too sanguine about the Fed moving to the sidelines at the end of the year or under a new chairman. They're going to keep tightening until they get a break in the inflation rate.

You want to make up for a lot for the players who lost their last game. Seeing some of those guys on the sidelines today when we were running out of the tunnel we were like this is for you. It feels good to do that, but this was for us.

Greg Mcelroy

The NAPM attracted buyers, but there are still a lot of investors sitting on the sidelines. Benign inflation data is the catalyst that could bring buyers back out. The market will trade up and down -- sideways -- until the [Federal Open Market Committee] meeting.

John Surtees

Jarvis Green

It looks to me like the market is getting a little psyched-out with these psychological levels, particularly 2,000 on the Nasdaq. After hitting that, people have pulled back a little, but there's still plenty of money on the sidelines. It could inch back up.

David Briggs

I could sense it on the sidelines. After the game, I just kind of stood there and soaked it all in instead of taking part in it because that's what Iowa football felt like. That's what we've been missing the past five games.

Kyle Schlicher

Most of the region's markets are trading off a bit, which is to be expected.

Andrew Clarke

It's inspiring to see him on the sidelines encouraging us.

Bill Kirby

Obviously, he made a heck of a play. But all I know is when we got to the sidelines the coaches were saying we have to tackle better. That's two weeks in a row that big plays and missed tackles have cost us.

Renaldo Wynn

Playing against them is a lot of fun. Nate does a heck of his job with his guys, so when you?re going into any game Nate coaches, you know his team is going to be well prepared and they?re going to play you hard. It?s awfully fun being on the sidelines for that.

Matt Mitchell

He's spent about 100 of the last 300 meetings on the sidelines.

Chris Barclay

Before, if we were doing 'punt,' there were some guys on the sidelines not doing anything. Now, everybody is doing something. . . . There might be quarterbacks out there rushing the punter rather than sitting by themselves not doing anything.

Xavier Lee

It's easy to be cynical and sit on the sidelines and throw stones at the commission. It's easier to do that if you don't participate.

Duane Joubert

We would remain on the sidelines pending evidence the plan is working.

Cindy Shaw

Ten or 15 years ago, they were basically standing leading cheers on the sidelines. They weren't throwing each other up in the air, and they weren't forming tall pyramids. The injuries that can result are severe.

Brenda Shields

There have been accounts that have been cash-rich, sitting on the sidelines, waiting for the FOMC to decide when and how to invest. We're seeing a bit of that going on.

Jason Evans

Players don't need rest. If someone is injured and needs time to recuperate, that's one thing. But players need to go out and play. One of the things that can happen if you take a player off the field is that he loses his edge by standing on the sidelines.

My sister was really inspirational, ... She and Greg were out there training for events. So, I thought, 'Why don't I get out there? I can't sit on the sidelines forever.

Peter Chandler

[Several events have been planned on the sidelines of the exhibition; in a 3-day conference held from 29 September-1October, 250 people participated, among whom 40 presented essays and 5 to 6 were Iranians.] The seminar, I hope, reveals some results of studies on Achaemenid religions, administration, and military affairs, ... though there is not any speech on the languages of the era.

John Curtis

The fact that it wasn't bad news was good news. If it was bad news, they certainly would have sold into it. But investors are nervous here. The money on the sidelines is coming in, but it's coming in slowly.

Michael Lyons

The Chicago numbers got things going this morning, and the money just poured in from the sidelines. The mood is upbeat and people are buying on the dips. It's really been an encouraging day.

Bill Roe

I don't know how great a coach I am but I have great players. I try to make it as fun and easy for the kids as I can. I'm a competitor, though. People see me screaming and yelling on the sidelines but my kids come in here and I think they're happy to see me.

Rob Butterworth

I don't like sitting back on the sidelines, ... During my 21 years in the police department, I got involved in just about everything there. I'm not some sort of rebel.

David Walters

I think there's a lot of underlying buying interest, a lot of cash on the sidelines in this country. The Canadian dollar mustering some strength here should bring some foreign money watchers back into this country.

Wendy Strub

Until evidence of an improvement in Eckerd stores and overall trends, we remain on the sidelines with respect to these shares.

Patricia Baker

Though we believe Dell can outperform the Nasdaq in 2000 after a poor 1999, we believe this can only happen after expectations have been reset to more reasonable levels. We believe downside on the stock is to the high $30s. We remain on the sidelines until then.

Dan Niles

I will not stand on the sidelines and watch those kids touch the ball twice a game.

Rich Mannello

He doesn't leave anything to chance. I think he's a good game-day coach, knowing when to do certain things in a game. He's very good on the sidelines.

Brittani Nichols

I was stretching on the sidelines when Beckham came to take a corner and by chance I started coughing as he struck the corner.

Sergio Sanchez

With very strong overall performance early in the quarter, we are seeing flows into the industry pick up once again, in contrast to the recent trend of assets remaining on the sidelines.

Josh Rosenberg

For one, we were putting (our defensive) guys in bad field position. And another thing, we weren't giving them any breaks. Those guys need to be able to go on the sidelines, catch their breath and regroup. When the offense is going three-and-out, it's like (the defense) has hardly been off the field.

Albert Young

There was a lot of team camaraderie and companionship. I really liked how everyone was on the sidelines and screaming. It was an intense meet. It's great for everyone even if they didn't swim any varsity events. Everyone stepped up to the plate. They did as expected or better.

Lesly Hainsworth

The Reserve Bank will be happy with this result and be content to sit on the sidelines. Companies are wearing some of the price pressure rather than passing it on. When consumers are tightening their purses, retailers don't want to be cranking up prices.

Institutions are the thundering herd. That's where the real vulnerability comes in. Money is already put on the line with these stocks as opposed to being on the sidelines waiting to come back in.

Bernie Schaeffer

That was his message at halftime and what he kept saying on the sidelines. Things don't always go your way in the game. You cannot lose your mind and you cannot lose your composure.

Victor Abiamiri

Many media companies have already either stayed too long on the sidelines or bungled their online efforts. Portals give them the perfect opportunity to play catch-up. These sites bring programming expertise to the table, while big media companies bring off-line promotions, advertising relationships, attractive content, and deep pockets.

Chris Charron

Most of the bad things are happening now, and things do get brighter at the end of the decade. They are still a lot people on the sidelines who would rather wait and miss a little bit of run-up, but get confirmation [later on] that those stocks are going to strengthen.

Jon Lecroy

I'm OK being bored on the sidelines. If I'm sitting at practice doing nothing, then it's a good day.

Lisa Cox

They have big, physical receivers, and they came at me. Coach Walker was going over stuff on the sidelines, telling us about the different looks. They've got big guys, but we don't have little corners. We were given a challenge today. We faced that challenge.

Ade Jimoh

Emotions are running high. People are nervous. They're moving to the sidelines.

Ted Weisberg

When I see Maurice on the sidelines, I see a little bit of Chuck Daly. If he can have that type of success, maybe the Hall of Fame could be next.

Parts of the economy are still doing well, with mining booming and that's generating jobs. I do think that employment growth will slow this year and that will be enough to keep the central bank on the sidelines.

Stephen Walters

We're going to plug him in when he's ready. He'll continue to throw sidelines. But his ankle hasn't allowed him the movement he needs coming off the mound.

Spin Williams

It was frustrating. It was kind of like last week [against Duke], when I was on the sidelines. You really can't help your team on the bench. The only thing that you can do is root.

Ahmad Brooks

People want to focus more on the blue chips because they figure that's what will do well through the end of the year. But there are still people waiting on the sidelines looking to fill other positions, so we should continue to rise through the end of the year.

Doug Gottlieb

I think Dow 10,000 is probably on the sidelines for now.

Vince Farrell

A lot of people told me it got real quiet there. But it was chaos on the sidelines.

Johnny White

In 10 years, I see him as being very rich and having a family. When we come back for the alumni game in 10 years, maybe we'll be playing or maybe we'll be on the sidelines laughing.

Alfred Reft

Because of the uncertainties and the risks to our earnings model should any behavioral remedies be implemented, we continue to advise investors to stay on the sidelines until further clarity can be gained.

Melissa Eisenstat

The next phase of the market is in M&A activity, and the Fed moving to the sidelines will help with that. So I think investors can still stay in the market and put their money to work.

Joe Keating

I'd pay five bucks, or whatever they charge, to get in. And I get in for free and get a spot on the sidelines. I don't know how you can beat that.

Dale Neal

Even though Office 2007 is very innovative and a compelling solution, it is a big endeavor for enterprises to undertake, and many of them are going to sit on the sidelines in 2007 and wait and see and learn from others' experiences.

Kyle Mcnabb

I miss it quite a bit right now. I'm content to [sit] along the sidelines, but depending on how I come back from this, I might have some options still out there.

Nathan Chandler

Overall trade was quiet as most players stayed on the sidelines to wait for direction from investment funds.

Shen Haihua

We weren't going to let one bad play get us down. Last year when we would get down, people on the sidelines would be like, 'We're going to lose this game.' This year, even when we got down, no one thought we were going to lose.

Levi Brown

It's not very often parents like us can sit back on the sidelines. The Special Olympics allow us to do that.

Maria Sanchez

The ancient Greeks kept women athletes out of their games. They wouldn't even let them on the sidelines. I'm not sure but that they were right.

Michael Lyons

You see him in the huddle really challenging the guys on the short yardage situations, the third downs, and you see him go up and down the sidelines on the offensive side, encouraging when we need to be encouraged.

Jeff Horton

The Washington state economy right now is a job engine drawing people in from the sidelines and into the job market.

Greg Weeks

When it happened, it was kind of like, 'All right, Maybe I'll go to the sidelines and it will just go away,' ... The next day, I was feeling like, 'OK, it's going to be better.' But, we had a bye week and good things happen in a bye week.' .

Wali Lundy

Until the market sees some clear evidence that the economy is starting to slow, not much is going to happen. There is cash out there on the sidelines but it's an apathetic feeling out there.

Peter Coolidge

China is a huge market, and as a soon-to-be-public company, Google could not afford to sit on the sidelines as competitors charge into the region.

John Battelle

I think the market is very healthy. With investors still waiting on the sidelines to get in, I just don't see the market falling away.

David Holmes

We just had too many mistakes. You could see it. Those guys lost their focus and the mistakes started to come. We talk all the time about maintaining our focus and finishing games. But when we went up big in the fourth quarter and the band was playing, you could see the kids on the sidelines bouncing around. We can't do that. We can't afford to lose focus out there.

Tony Pierce

It's obviously a lot more comfortable when you're calling the plays down on the field. I can come up to [ Charlie Weis ] on the sidelines and talk to him face to face. You can see his emotions, what he's thinking, by the way he's talking to you. That's something that's help me, being able to have that face-to-face with him, being able to talk with him.

Brady Quinn

I don't look at it as a huge milestone. To me it just means you've been in the business for a long time. Also, it's not about me, it's about all those players that have gotten the wins. I just stand on the sidelines.

Carol Simon

We can't sit on the sidelines and hope for a call from Oscar De La Hoya. He needs a good show on TV and that would be taking out an 18-0, up-and-coming kid. I pursued the fight because I believe it's a very winnable fight for Pushup and he's prepared hard for it.

Ron Resnick

That's always been the strength of this coaching staff and this team. [We] go from series to series and make changes – get over to the sidelines and do it in just a few minutes.

Mike Vrabel

I was assigned to write the color story in the stands and on the sidelines in the Alabama-Auburn game at Legion Field in 1964, ... My first byline was in the Post-Herald and it was about Bear Bryant. So that's about as good as gets in Alabama.

Howell Raines

Investors are mostly likely to stay on the sidelines today, and the volume is expected to shrink (from Friday's NT$100.12 billion).

Bill Huang

ISM was overall a good report, but (investors) are staying on the sidelines until the jobs reports comes out.

Charmaine Buskas

I'm on the sidelines going through my normal routine, stretching, staying loose. I didn't notice the noise or the excitement. My focus was like tunnel vision.

Harry Oliver

I came out and said it was me, ... Everybody on the sidelines was frustrated. I said if we keep getting frustrated we're going to go out there and make more errors. So we just calmed down and after that we were communicating and stayed on the same page.

Jessie Daniels

There certainly is enough cash sitting on the sidelines to make a viable IPO market.

David Mcmillan

[Don't storm the sidelines, rant and rave, yell and scream at your athletes about] exerting self-control, ... It's what kids see that they learn.

Todd Brown

The high price of petrol continues to play on consumers' minds. Shareholders have cause to be less joyous about the value of their savings. This strengthens the Reserve Bank's case to stay on the interest-rate sidelines.

Andrew Mitchell

Joe has good feet, ... If something broke down, I felt he could get away easily. The other night (against DeSoto) he got a bad snap, made this guy miss and that guy miss, and before you knew it, he broke it to the sidelines for about 30 yards.

James Haynes

It certainly helps to raise the profile (of the issue) when someone from within (speaks out). Until now, it has just been us on the sidelines, doing our ankle-biting.

Gwen Lachelt

The quartet will convene on September 20 at the ministerial level, on the sidelines of the United Nations General Assembly.

Alvaro De Soto

It was cold. I don't think it was a factor [while playing], but it was definitely a factor on the sidelines. I would have liked to have gotten a lot more people in, but you don't want to risk sending them in cold and having them pull a muscle.

Liza Kelly

A more positive revenue backdrop will be required to justify a more positive review of the stock. Accordingly, we'd remain on the sidelines.

Peter Appert

It's hard because I've always known him as a coach. He will still be a coach in my heart, but you won't see him on the sidelines.

Eric Hayes

Cheerleading is not what it used to be. It's no longer standing on the sidelines looking cute in a skirt. It's more body skills.

Erin Brooks

I thought he did a great job at Jefferson. They were always feisty as heck. It will not be the same coaching against Jefferson without Coach Simmonds across the sidelines. He did a great job of getting Jefferson on the map.

Earl Garcia
