Bruiser Quotations:

Ralph Waldo Emerson – In politics and in trade, bruisers and pirates are of better promise than talkers and clerks.

Brandon Roy – Arizona State has some bruisers on their team and they neutralized him a little bit. But Arizona, we don’t think they are as tough on the inside and we think Jon could have a big performance.

Terry Farrell – I was the oldest guy in the field by some 15-years and probably the smallest. There was teasing going on because some of my opponents were these big bruisers. I never would have expected this when I first started. When I told people that I had been playing for only three years, no one could believe it. But you don’t get here without a lot of help. I couldn’t have done it without a lot of support. I spent a lot of time going to the park when no one was around and worked on my game.
