Amazon at this level is a large retailer. So, 84 percent year-over-year growth is not bad in a very seasonally tough quarter, particularly given that Amazon's core categories are at their seasonally weakest in the June quarter. You did see that in their segment breakout. Books, music and video grew at 38 percent, but June is the toughest quarter.

Tim Albright

The toughest thing for us to do is get back to the Super Bowl. But if we get there, this time I think we're going to have the edge it takes to win.

Artis Hicks

That was the toughest part, learning how to be comfortable with being uncomfortable.

Mark Rogers

That was one of our goals: to put ourselves to be there at the end. We have all our toughest battles ahead of us.

Mike Godfrey

It's wicked hilly, it's going to be one of the toughest in the state. I'm hoping the new course will be ready.

Tom Wells

His reputation got him the second-toughest prison in the United States when he went in. They figured he was the most dangerous.

Bruce Norris

They have the toughest job. They have their market cap, and now they have to prove they are worth it by staying on track with revenue growth. There is less upside for new hires because the big boost has already gone by.

Peter Alexander

We thought we were in, so it definitely was a relief to know we weren't going to have the toughest road possible because of the mistakes we made. I'm happy that we're playing so close to home and hopefully a lot of fans will make it to the game.

Jana Francis

You understand when players can't play, ... And that's the toughest thing. That's not the Tim Byrdak we've seen in the past. He's been a very reliable arm in our bullpen. I think he handled it extremely well. We've seen the crispness of his stuff and when his arm has been tired, like it has been for the last couple days, you don't see it.

Jim Beattie

We made our schedule really, really hard this year. We kind of didn't care about what our record was. We just wanted to get the toughest competition we (could) so that we'd be ready for this weekend.

Ryland Wagner

Austin, Texas, and Columbus, Ohio, are the two toughest communities in which you have to put together a winning football team, ... They are both big metropolitan areas without professional football and major league baseball to sidetrack them.

Brent Musburger

Uribe can't hit a guy who throws junk. And then he hits a triple against the toughest pitcher in baseball.

Ozzie Guillen

We're in the toughest region. So it's going to be difficult for us. We're going to have to swim fast to get into the finals. We're just going to have to keep doing what we're doing and hope for the best.

Jesse Cole

In my opinion, this was the toughest region in the state.

Tony Prentice

It's a tough tournament, very well rounded. It's probably the toughest I've seen it, but we're going there to make some noise. Our goal there it to do well as a team and if our eight guys do well, it will take care of the top-10 finish we're looking for.

Mark Vanoort

Far and away the toughest thing for me to get used to has been that you have to recognize the blitz and know what adjustment the receiver is going to make.

Kyle Orton

It is an honor to serve as council president. I hope I can live up to the standards...We will work proactively and on the toughest issues that confront Yardley.

Joe Hunter

Chillicothe is the toughest opponent we've faced all year. Everybody can talk about this and that, but there is no way they should have been a four-seed in this tournament. They have a lot of weapons, and it's going to be a huge challenge.

Rick Vanmatre

This is the toughest and most competitive I've ever seen the conference. All the teams are so much better this year.

Jana Francis

Justin always wrestled in the toughest weight class at states. It was great to see him overcome those semifinal losses, knowing that his life was going to be that much better, and wrestling was going to be that much more fun for him. It was also great for him and his family, because they win and lose with him. When he steps out on the mat, we're all out there with him.

Bill Royer

This might be the toughest stretch of the season.

Wade Dubielewicz

We knew we could beat Northeastern, but it was Currituck we knew would be the toughest, and we were all trying to go to Golden Corral afterwards, because if we got first we would be able to go. It was more like beating Northeastern, but the motivation was Golden Corral.

Cam Brown

What you're seeing is a case that is strong in the merits for Merck but has got to be balanced on the challenges Merck will face in that jurisdiction. This jurisdiction has been viewed as one of the toughest jurisdictions for corporate defendants in the country.

Peter Bicks

I see the team has made huge strides this year, especially when considering Hamilton is part of one of the toughest tennis conferences in the state.

Alan Schneider

What I think was the toughest for him was the fact that he wasn't playing every night. That's tough for anybody. Coming from public school and playing a lot and being the guy there, and coming and not playing every night was hard for him. But the way he handled it was with such class.

Brad Zancanaro

Toughest person I've ever met in my life my hero, my soldier.

Jim Kelly

I think that's the toughest we played those guys. I'm proud of these kids.

Brian Gilbert

John's the type of kid that if I took him out of a game like this, he'd never let me forget it. He's the toughest kid I've ever coached.

Brian Donahue

I don't get his move. I don't understand the motive for that. I think he's made a mistake. I think he needed some ego restoration, probably. I'll tell you, he came into arguably the toughest conference in college football and I'll tell you, it's not going to be the same. I know the South Carolina fans are excited, but. . .

Terry Dean

The toughest thing these days for top players coming into college isn't the level of competition, but just getting comfortable with being in school. Learning your way around campus, learning how to budget your time. If they manage that all right, their games almost take care of themselves.

Carrie Forsyth

He's an amazing horse. No horse I've ever seen in any race stumbled like that. And I don't know any horse stayed up after going that close to the ground. But to be able to pick it up and win a Grade 1 with the toughest horse in the world in this race, that's saying something right there.

Jeremy Rose

I think we play in one of the toughest districts in the state, so it is going to be tough with a young lineup. But I feel like we are learning and starting to gel ... I really think we are starting to find an identity.

Casey Osborn

This weekend against DePaul was Ashley's toughest match ever, and I sat there for the entire match to help her.

Kelsey Jakupcin

The toughest thing is that, you know, we're a little bit lean on our marketing dollars, and we're pressed on our expense dollars across the board in order to run the business, so we've become a little bit of the world's best-kept secret.

Wally Smith

It's been the best four years of my life. When I walked off the court that last time, I kept saying I can't believe it's over. It's one of the toughest things I've had to do.

Andrew Didonato

The past four games have been the toughest stretch of our season.

Bobby Bowman

Effectively, what will happen is all of us running on these landlocked, inland protected lakes will be held to a higher standard than all the other boats in New York state that are operating on the ocean and the canal system and everything controlled by the Coast Guard. So it doesn't really make sense that the people on the most protected waters will have the toughest standards.

Chris Weeks

They just shot extremely well. And they were the toughest half-court defensive team we faced all year. It wasn't us. Skowhegan's defense took us out of what we wanted to do. Give them all the credit.

Tom Morong

He's an amazing individual with great strength and integrity, even in the toughest times. He told us to carry on as usual.

Jim Caldwell

This has been one of the toughest years for breaking news that we've ever had. But the fact is that we have to cover it.

Marcy Mcginnis

Having to be a nice guy is the toughest job in the world when you're not.

Kevin Bacon

I've heard that Pike Central is one of the toughest teams in the district and they played like it. They're a good team. They're really tough. They got some excellent shots and they really hustled.

David Day

Four teams in seven days? Wow. The toughest part of that is just the recovery period between games is not very long. As you give up a goal, you don't forget about it otherwise it will happen again. At the same time, you don't let it get to you. I guess it's the same thing when you have a lot of games in a row. If you lose one of those games, you can't dwell on it.

John Costin

The toughest part, ... is maybe figuring out if you belong here.

Glenn Hubbard

This may be the toughest dual season that we have had in quite a while.

Leeann Pepe

We realize the toughest stretch of the season is here.

Billy Donovan

The toughest part is definitely making up the work. It was extremely tough with wrestling in keeping up on the work. We would be gone three to four days straight and would have to get our homework done and make sure we don't fall behind.

Kyle Martinez

This is probably the toughest the conference has been. If we're not playing well, we could go 0-7.

Tim Siegel

Raising money can be the toughest thing for a candidate to have to do, and it can be a factor that leads some people to decide not to get involved in politics.

Matt Smyth

They'll be out there tomorrow. They have a killer instinct. They know how to play in these tournaments. When it comes down to one game, they're the toughest team in the world to beat. It doesn't mean they're going to win. The Japanese team's the same way. But they play a similar style of baseball. It ought to be a really interesting game.

Peter Bjarkman

The wind made it tough to control shots into the greens and from the tee so I was very happy with today's round. With the wind doing what it's doing, it was hard to gauge what clubs to hit. A lot of times I was guessing, to be honest with you. They were the toughest conditions I've ever played in.

Jason Dufner

Year in and year out, the point is proven this is the toughest (area) in the state. And I think again, it will the toughest (area) in the state. You have to make it through this tournament.

Jim Haskin

He battles hard. Pound for pound he might be the toughest guy in the league.

Stan Butler

The first time going back is always the toughest. There are so many good memories, and friends. It's just strange, coming in the visitors' room, definitely a strange feeling.

Keith Carney

It's always kind of been my dream to play linebacker because they get in on most of the tackles. The transition has been getting used to the faster pace of everything. You have to make quick reads, and you want to be one step ahead of what's coming at you. Getting that down perfect has been the toughest thing.

Adam Krejci

Probably the toughest part is knowing that I have to play well. That's the one skill that I am still working on.

Stacy Kim

We're undefeated with the toughest teams behind us. We're confident about finishing on top of league.

Kristy Dwyer

The toughest part for us is being so far ahead of where they are, we have to stop, ... We forget that even though we're dealing with 9th-through-12th graders, they've never played so we have to evaluate ourselves as a staff. Take tackling. Some of them are learning and you talk to them, try to teach them and they have that far away look in their eyes and you have to go over it again.

Tim Sanders

The toughest thing about it was I couldn't come to grips with it. I couldn't reason it out in my mind. It was very difficult. I didn't agree with it. I don't think I ever will.

Major Applewhite

It was probably the toughest team we've played all year. It was a good game, but it really showed some things that we still need to work on, some weaknesses we have.

Mike Costello

That first round is always the toughest to get through. Anything can happen.

Todd Harvey

Last season we played one of the toughest schedules in Class L. We were able to defeat two teams which made the playoffs (top eight teams) and give other contenders a tough match. We were truly competitive all season long.

Paul Whitmore

He's a very physical kid and is one of our toughest kids, especially on the pass rush side of things.

Bob Snell

The competition at the Crew Classic is our toughest to date. It'll be a challenge making it into the finals.

Carie Graves

I was really nervous coming into the season, but the group we have now is even better than last year. The toughest lineup I've faced this season is what I see here in practice. That's helped keep me sharp during games.

Rachel Foster

It's really the toughest part of our schedule.

Mike Dunleavy

It's one of the toughest tournaments in the state. Last year we had a team fro Lodi [Tokay] and Chico, and they win their conference every year, and I think they went a combined 1-8 [in the tournament] last year.

Jeff Jennings

The FDA will be asking the toughest questions you can imagine and the investment community will be on pins and needles to find out what the agency wants.

John Mccamant

It's one of the toughest in the nation, ... First, just look in the ACC. Then we have non-conference games against Auburn and Georgia, too. But if we were not expecting to win every game, something would be wrong with that. We're not going to lower our standards.

Kenny Scott

Grandville's an outstanding football team. In my opinion, they're probably the toughest team we'll face in the regular season.

Matt Prisk

This was one of the toughest, if not the toughest, fields we've had.

Tim Cleland

The first one's [victory] always the toughest, especially in foreign territory. You never know what to expect.

Mark Delpercio

One of the toughest things in the world when you're playing on the road is a leadoff walk in the bottom of the ninth, and that's exactly what happened. It's tough. It's unfortunate. It's something more times than not, it will come back to haunt you, and it did.

Jim Tracy

I'm just excited to see our team's confidence growing. To go 72-72-72-73 on the toughest scoring day of the tournament is impressive and an indication of where we are going as a team.

Sue Nyhus

The guy took a full swing, so I'm reacting to a full swing. As a pitcher, that's one of the toughest things to do. ... I think I went six or seven inches into the ground when I dove. I had to replace my divot.

Mike Timlin

Coach Hurley is the best coach I've ever played for, the toughest coach. He taught me everything I know about the game.

Peter Cipriano

It was the biggest game of the year, the toughest game of the year, and it's only right that it comes down to the end.

Matt Rice

I see him get hurt, keep getting back up, keep balling. He's the toughest guy I've ever seen. Mac he'd be my MVP. Doesn't matter what anybody else says. He's a great player.

Albert Haynesworth

It's definitely been the toughest year of my life as far as personally and on the basketball court.

Derek Raivio

It's not a burden you want the current players to carry. We know what we're trying to do. We made our decision. By most accounts, we're playing one of the toughest I-AA schedules in the country and we're playing with a half deck of cards because we're at half of the scholarships and loaded with lots of young players.

Bob Biggs

Scriptwriting [for film] is the toughest part of the whole racket . . . the least understood and the least noticed.

Frank Capra

This investment will allow us to meet our clients' growing demand for high-science, first-in-human clinical trial services and address one of their toughest drug development challenges.

Wendel Barr

While I play against some of the strongest athletes in the NFL, I know that off the field, the toughest players are the thousands of hospitalized children who are fighting for their lives each day. That's why I've made this commitment and why I'm asking everyone to join me in making a difference for these kids.

Mark Tauscher

We have a motto this year that says, 'Katrina crushed our school, but not our spirit' and we've tried to live by that. The toughest part is that most of my team is living in FEMA trailers. That's been a huge transition for them. And then we've not only lost key players, but friends.

Christi Elias

It's the toughest challenge of my life because football is all I know. It's all I want to do. That's it, and when that gets taken away from you that hurts more than anything. There's an emptiness. ... I've got to stay positive. I'm not going to lie to you. I'm down in spirits right now.

Gary Baxter

Billy was in the toughest weight class in the Shore, and for him to comeback like he did shows what kind of leader he is. He stepped up.

John Gagliano

A lot of the toughest kids.

Peter Mclaughlin

It's probably the toughest one I've had since I've been doing it. We've really got some good teams, some teams with good traditions.

Nick Waggoner

Like I told them, we've got to be proud of ourselves. We were in it in the second half, but the toughest thing is fatigue, and that became a big factor. They competed hard and they did a lot of good things, like we have all season. It just doesn't always show up on the scoreboard.

Nathan Daume

We had the toughest draw of anyone in the tournament, but that's the way we want it. By playing top teams like St. Thomas Aquinas and Jenks, we're only going to get better.

Kristy Bush

It's a tough league, the toughest it has been and we have to play at our very best. Maybe that isn't something they (the players) can do week in week out but it's what they have to do to stay in this league.

Dario Gradi

I think we played the toughest schedule in the state, and only time will tell if it helped.

Brian Cosgriff

What you see is what you get. My God, I don't have the time nor the energy to live up to some persona... I understand what it is to be vulnerable, and I understand what it is to be strong. So anybody who bashes 'sentimental' is missing it. I've seen the toughest guys in the world cry. That macho thing is an old folktale. I'm not afraid of it at all.

Marc Anthony

It was the toughest time in her life. At times she was sad, and at times she was happy.

Judy Dolecki

These are the toughest laws in the country.

Morris Iemma

The news of her soul mate not making it is going to be her toughest battle. They were attached at the hip and heart.

Ray Banning

He's probably one of the toughest kids to guard off the dribble.

Bryan Smith

It was one of our toughest games we played. But I'm glad we stuck it out, and fought together as a team and won.

Azya Peoples

The toughest thing for us to measure is how fair is it to close a trail that we can't maintain.

Rick Maddalena

This is by far the toughest weekend so far this year. We have some other tough weekends coming up, but as far as two teams in the same weekend, this is probably our biggest test.

Duane Goldman

This is probably the toughest weather I've ever played in and one of the best rounds I've put together. The wind was blowing probably 20 miles per hour with gusts up to thirty. You really have to play smart when you're playing in this kind of wind. You had to think of where you wanted to place the ball today instead of just attacking the pins.

Jason Dufner

We just have to play them one at a time and can't overlook anybody. Fairdale gave us the toughest game of anybody else in the region other than Iroquois, and they're both away from us.

Terri Keown

The second run, it was really tough. There were lots of holes and waves. It was the toughest GS of the year, I think.

Kalle Palander

We're trying to wrestle the toughest competition we can find.

Dave Carlile

It was the toughest match I've had all year. The mental part (was the toughest); I had to get in my head I could hang with him.

Jordan Reese

I always say that we're the backbone of the team. We're our toughest critics. ... It's just that we've got so many expectations for our defense, and we really want to go out there and not have anybody score - not even have anybody come into our territory.

Alan Zemaitis

He's one of the toughest I've ever been involved with - I know that much.

Wayne Bennett

Seven furlongs is, maybe, the toughest distance because you have to run hard every step of the way. I like to try and work a horse that far before running him.

Bruce Headley

Reducing workforce is the toughest business decision a company has to make. We have worked hard to avoid it, but many companies our size and particularly our competitors operate with lower overhead and fewer management layers.

Duane Ackerman

I'm very happy with four-under, ... I mean yesterday after the Pro-Am or the practice rounds, I would have taken even par in a heartbeat and not even gone out today. This is probably the toughest course we've played all year. You have to hit it in the fairway.

Jesper Parnevik

That's what happens when you play two of your toughest games back to back.

Lori Rubino

I think Region III is always the toughest region in the state. It has given us a good run with all the competition every game. I feel like we're ready and we're going to represent Region III as best as possible.

Brittney Williams

We've been going there for 13 years, and this was probably the toughest competition that we've seen down there.

Dave Carlile

We like to bring up our past success. The main thing we sell is the chance to play football, win championships, and we sell the Gateway Conference, which is the toughest conference in I-AA. If we can get them on campus, we hardly ever lose them.

Walter Wells

We have some momentum and are right where we want to be. We have been playing better defense and rebounding better which is important because we play in one of the toughest conferences.

Chris Shoemaker

Chelmsford could be the toughest of the bunch this year.

Dick Loschi

Our goal is the right answer to right user at the right time, so that support comes in a contextually relevant way in a buy-and-sell situation. We want to be the first level of support for all users. The telephone won't go away, but it should be just for the toughest questions.

Suaad Sait

We're pleased the US Marine Corps has chosen our product for use world wide. This demonstrates that Flushaways can perform under the toughest conditions, providing real convenience and ecological benefits. We look forward to growing sales with the Marines and other US Government agencies.

John Banks

Taking (Thompson) out didn't spark us because he's one of our toughest guys. I think hitting the big threes sparked us.

Bill Swan

He was one of the toughest pitchers we faced all year. He had heat and he threw a slider. The first guy did a nice job and the second was dominating. It is something when you have a guy like that in your bullpen.

Jack Sturgeon

The Nice summit will be one of the toughest in the history of Europe.

Michel Barnier

This is one of the toughest districts in the state I think. It's gonna be a horse race.

George Welsh

We're proud that Major League Baseball already has the toughest testing agreement in professional sports in place, but this goes even farther.

Laurel Prieb

One of the toughest things to teach a high school kid is how to win. When you have a tough game like this and you find a way to win, the kids confidence sky-rockets.

Todd Schumacher

They're going to be tough, it don't get any easier for us. We've got one of the toughest schedules.

Kyle Davis

We controlled most of the game. It took us a while to settle down. But once we did, we were all right. Now we have the toughest part of our schedule coming up.

Jose Gonzalez

You know me, I've handled the toughest cases and never backed down from anything.

Kathryn Flicker

I don't think it will take long. We understand what the game plan is every game going out. The transition more than anything will probably be defensively, because everybody played different defensive schemes, and our scheme is probably one of the toughest schemes in the NBA because we work a lot harder.

Udonis Haslem

It's been our toughest two weeks of practice in years. We put them in some very competitive situations in practice. We held everyone accountable for their efforts and on the outcome. We put them in a win or lose situations. The other thing is, our last time out, we did not play very well. It was very disappointing.

Bill Kramer

One of the toughest parts of larger RFID deployments is working with readers in close proximity to one another.

Patrick Sweeney

It will come down to who will be the toughest the longest.

Mack Brown

She's the toughest kid on the team. She's only about sixty pounds, but she'll go up against anybody. She's our Mighty Mouse.

Tom Husser

It's toughest to forgive ourselves. So it's probably best to start with other people. It's almost like peeling an onion. Layer by layer, forgiving others, you really do get to the point where you can forgive yourself.

Patty Duke

This league is the toughest league, as far as I'm concerned, in all the CCS. All up and down, there's not an easy team.

Roland Hedgpeth

We picked the areas that would be a challenge. The 200 miles we use are probably the toughest 200 miles we've got.

Buck Potter

I'm anxious to get over there and do my part, ... Being away from my family, that's probably going to be the toughest part of the deployment.

James Byrd

[Receivers coach] Billy Gonzales is the toughest grader on the staff and he didn't feel Chad blocked very well. There is more to it than just catching the ball.

Urban Meyer

You never know, this is the toughest league in lacrosse. There aren't any breathers.

Glenn Thiel

I'm really proud of the way we played today. These were the toughest conditions we've dealt with all year, yet we scored our best.

Dan Anderson

We played the toughest team in the league today, and we took them to the wire.

Bryan Davis

All things being equal, there will be significant improvement in this program. But this is the toughest region in the state.

Vincent Smith

I think this is our best chance (at a state title). Hopefully, our toughest games are behind us.

Aaron Holmes

We are out of the toughest part of our schedule now. This has been tough on everybody, but we need to continue to work hard in practice to create an environment to improve.

Bobby Carter

Kenny is one of the toughest guys I have ever met, people just can't see how he can go in with these bigger guys like he does. Its the shock he gives that bigger guy when he hits them that makes them know they are in for a fight.

Brad Wick

I've done the math. Between shipping, fees, everything else, if you win the Breeders' Cup Sprint you make about $350,000. I don't mean to sound negative, but unless you have a breeding prospect - and we don't - that's not a lot of money to win the toughest sprint in the world.

Bob Bone

Tennis is such an intense sport. They have the toughest schedule all year around. It's kind of cruel, actually. So for a couple of weeks, she was able to enjoy herself in Jersey.

Brian Lynch

If it's not the toughest, it's the second toughest with two or three guys ranked nationally, so that validates it.

Will Pellum

We're playing the toughest schedule we've ever played.

Randy Rutledge

Erin's improvement is probably mentally. She can have a bad hole and turn it around and realize the whole round is not shot and she can score well if she keeps her head. This year will probably be the toughest for Brittany. As a freshman no one expected anything of her. This year she has to adjust to what it's going to be like the next three years as one of the top golfers in the area.

Addie Ince

As much as we are making good progress -- and we are -- the toughest fighting could lie ahead. The likelihood that they might use chemical weapons is in front of us now. We are not underestimating how tough it could be going forward.

Victoria Clarke

It was a very strong sectional and some of the weight classes were the toughest in the area.

Roger Branham

George is one of the toughest guys I've ever been around. He has that tough look, but mentally he's as tough as they get. To have him go through what he had to deal with last year ... it's probably worse now with his son.

Scott Brooks

Toughest [lineup] I've faced. Hopefully, if it comes down to the playoffs, I can get my revenge.

Mark Buehrle

They are both very consistent offensively and defensively. They draw the toughest defensive assignments and still give us 10 to 12 points a game.

Don Story

When I was younger, I wasn't necessarily the toughest kid on the block, and I remember that feeling of being scared (of getting bullied). It's a very real feeling and it's not a fun place to be in. I watch my son, Gavin, who's four-and-a-half, get more independent on the play ground, and there are skills I want him to have.

Russ Rocchi

I'm anxious to get over there and do my part. Being away from my family, that's probably going to be the toughest part.

James Byrd

They have big shoes to fill. As the defending state champions there are a lot of expectations on them. Defending the state title is not our focus. We want to develop chemistry, play well as a team and learn to compete. All that is going to prepare us for the toughest district in the state of Texas.

Kevin Albury

They are probably the toughest of the sides we could have drawn but you have to take what you are given.

Keith Wyness

This was one of the toughest matches I have ever played. I am glad I am through.

Nicolas Massu

I've been watching tape on (Pugh) all year. I knew he would be my toughest competition.

Brett Rosedale

Although the government has more money than anyone else, it's one of the toughest defendants to sue in the United States of America today. In fact, the United States is the toughest defendant to sue in the United States.

Victor Schwartz

This was the toughest schedule we had to go up against. We played a lot of games this season, but that prepared us for the state tournament. You have to play three games in a row to win the tournament and playing the type of schedule we had definitely helped our conditioning.

Brandan Wright

It's no contest. It's the two toughest holes under these conditions that we have on the Tour.

Aaron Oberholser

We play in one of the toughest leagues in San Diego. You just don't get a breather in this league.

Bryan Brockett

It hasn't been a distraction to us, but in my first year, it's easily the toughest thing I've had to do as a basketball coach.

David Spencer

One thing he taught us was life after football. One thing that I've been doing in Nashua is teaching life after baseball. Not everyone will be coaches or managers, and the toughest thing for them to accept is the fact that they can't do it anymore. I teach them life's lessons.

Butch Hobson

That'll be the toughest thing — blocking the pass routes. The running game will come.

Ron Turner

He's a tough kid. He's running, he takes some shots and gets right back up. He's probably one of the toughest quarterbacks I've played against.

Ryan Lacasse

I think the toughest thing is to bid adieu to our friendship with the people at Arizona State University. It's like moving from a good home filled with family.

John Junker

The first four games are the four toughest games of the season.

Eva Lang

Detroit is still seen as the tough city, a city that has a reputation for high crime, ... The tough city thing is fine. It's always had a reputation as that. ... You know, Gordie Howe, when I was watching hockey, was the toughest guy in the league playing for the Red Wings. He represented that tough aura.

Eugene Levy

It's not tough to get our guys ready this week. We already feel like this is a playoff game we can't afford to lose. We could easily be 2-1. We started the season against three of the toughest teams in the league. But we're not going to make excuses. I have challenged each player.

Ervin Bryson

If I was out there, yeah, it would be tempting to at least take a practice lap for old time's sake. It's a shame it's going away, it's well known nationally as one of the toughest short tracks around, and the reputation is deserved.

Ernie Irvan

Billy's tough, obviously. He's one of the toughest pitchers you're going to face in the league. If there's a spot where you want to take a chance, you want to do that on the base paths. Chances are you're not going to string two base hits against him, so it's worth taking a little bit of a risk.

Eric Bruntlett

The real question is how the rise in gasoline prices is going to affect the holiday season. I think this will be the toughest test of the consumer in at least four years.

Eric M. Beder

I think this is the toughest match of the draw.

Emilio Butragueno

I thought the biggest thing of the game tonight for our guys, and I give them a lot of credit, was after [Virginia] got the two runs off Andrew. Knowing how tough Doolittle is - he one of the toughest pitchers in this league - to bounce right back out there and get two runs, that to me was a big point in this game.

Elliott Avent

That was the toughest thing I probably ever had to do. The little strength I got today came from his wife. ... Me, just knowing what she is going through personally, I just tried to step up and just lighten some of the [mood] that was in there, because I tell you everybody in there loved him.

Eddie Murray

It certainly looks like the toughest group.

Eddie Lewis

They will look at how we are playing and show us respect as well. They will look at this fixture and probably think it is the toughest game they have left.

Eddie Gray

I served this department for 26 years and have taken it through some of the toughest times of its history. Every man in a leadership position must know when it's time to hand over the reins.
