?Doug Carr, Texas A&M linebacker, who is 5'10" and plays behind a defensive line that averages 6'4": "I just ask them to lean over so I can see what's happening."

? Hank Stram, ex-Chiefs and Saints coach: "When I got into the coaching business, I knew I was getting into a high-risk, high-profile profession, so I adopted a philosophy I've never wavered from. Yesterday is a canceled check, today is cash on the line, tomorrow is a promissory note."

?David Rubinstein, marketing director of the Pittsburgh Penguins, on the loss of Defenseman Tom Edur to the Jehovah's Witnesses: "We got compensation from God. Two miracles."
