JUST A ROOKIE, YET ALREADY A MASTER OF ATHLETE GOBBLEDYGOOK

--

"I know enough to function. But obviously, I am limited to a certain degree. Anytime you're dealing with rookies that are an unknown variable, you just proceed to function until experience, I guess, proves them able."

COACH, CAST INTO A SEA OF MISFORTUNE, STRUGGLES TO THE SHOALS OF DIVERSITY

--

"I think it's good to have different personalities, because personalities are what make the game. . . . It's not a factory. You don't cookie-cut those guys. They're all different. They all come from different walks of life and they all have different beliefs. That's a good thing. It really is."

JUST A LITTLE SETBACK

--

Phils' Urbina held pending attempted murder charge

CARACAS, Venezuela - Philadelphia Phillies pitcher Ugueth Urbina was arrested and held today pending a formal charge of attempted murder, police said.

Last month, Urbina and a group of men allegedly attacked five workers with machetes and poured gasoline on them in an attempt to set them on fire. All five were injured, some of them with cuts and one with burns on the back and right arm, police said.

"This, of course, can in some way hurt his career as a professional ballplayer, and all will depend on the way in which he is brought before justice," defense lawyer Jose Luis Tamayo said.

A RARE CASE OF CHRONOBEEPAPHOBIA

--

"We just had the daylight savings time set back. I couldn't set my watch. Somebody fixed my watch, and all of a sudden it started beeping three hours later. They'd set the alarm on it or something. I took the watch off, put it in my desk and said, 'I'm not going to wear this thing until it's working.' Because of the fear of it beeping."

Green Bay Packers offensive coordinator Tom Rossley

THE PLAY- BY- PLAY MAN'S FAVORITE FACT

--

"Remember, they can still get a first down here without getting a touchdown."

Intoned solemnly before every play whenever a team starts 1st and 10 from between their opponent's 10 and 12 yard line. This fascinating fact never ceases to amaze the play-by-play man. His repeated intonations are slower each time as if the concept is just too marvelous and abtruse for the viewer to apprehend.
