QUOTES OF THE DAY

“He taught me how to say it this week. He said it’s ‘sun’ with an ‘h’ – Shun.”
— Football coach Robbie Caldwell on how to pronounce safety Sean Richardson’s first name (Source: The Tennessean)

“This game has slowed down a lot more. I’m just learning how to play this game at this next level.”
— Pirates 3B Pedro Alvarez on his late-season success (Source: MLB.com)

“(Marve) practiced (Sunday) and was a little sore, they decided to do an MRI and found out there is a little tear in there. It’s one that he might can play with if it doesn’t start floating around and lock up, but chances are it needs to be cleaned out.”
— Caldwell on linebacker Chris Marve, who may miss Saturday’s game with a knee injury (Source: The City Paper)
