Roger GoodellIt wasn't openly talked about very much, in the sense that people said they wanted to beat GB at this or that, but there would however be sidelong comparisons frequently in press commentary.

She asks, "Isn't this 555-1327? Is this the Moorehouse CinePlex? I say, Kill yourself. Kill yourself. Kill yourself.

But when decisions have to be made, a strong character makes them and doesnโt wait for someone else.

Landon Donovanโฆlife isnโt a puzzle to be solved. Itโs an adventure to be savored. Let every challenge be a new mountain to climb, not an obstacle to get in your way and stop you. Yeah, itโll be hard, but once you reach the summit of it, youโll be able to see the world for what it really is. And at the top, it never seems to have been as difficult a feat to climb there as you first made it out to be. Most of all, youโll know that you beat that mountain, and that you rule it. It does not rule you.
