David Cassidy

#92. As a team, you need to come from behind every once in awhile just to do it. Good for the attitude. It makes it exciting. And when everybody knows you have to throw it ... that makes it fun too.

#93. Molly. I have an opportunity for you."

Frankie Bow

#94. I'm flattered by the offers I receive, but there's no real strategy to the way I choose what to do these days. If I'm in a good mood and have the time, I'm more likely to consider it. Often the photographer and team are important factors, too.

#95. I've been fortunate over the years to have been on good teams and as a result I've been able to score some goals but I wouldn't say I'm great at it.

Jeff Cunningham

#96. People tried to test me (in 1999) and I came up with some pretty good throws. Everybody on the team calls me 'Bazooka' now. That's kind of like a nickname I gave myself.

Albert Belle

#97. People who are in it for their own good are individualists. They don't share the same heartbeat that makes a team so great. A great unit, whether it be football or any organization, shares the same heartbeat.

Bear Bryant

#98. Like a good marriage, trust on a team is never complete; it must be maintained over time.

Patrick Lencioni

#99. We bought good footballers. But many haven't got it, that football is a running and fighting sport. Against Bayern every team outdoes itself. And we do too little to counter that ... We need a couple of attack dogs. Sometimes I sit on the bench and think, 'Man, is this a friendly match?'

Otto Rehhagel

#100. People want to be on a team. They want to be part of something bigger than themselves. They want to be in a situation where they feel that they are doing something for the greater good.

Mike Krzyzewski
