He feels better today. But I hurt for Darren. He's an integral part of our ball club.

It's frustrating but Darren had the courage to take it,
Darren asked the selectors not to consider him for the tour of Pakistan for personal reasons and we respected his wishes. With Liam Plunkett and James Anderson performing well in Pakistan and Simon Jones now available for selection again, the selectors feel the priority is for these players to gain as much experience of one-day cricket as possible ahead of the World Cup.
Both (Darren) and A.J. get upset, but tend to not show it as much out on the course. They love golf, have put in a lot of time working on their games and deserve a lot of credit.
Darren battled his heart out for us. To come up one short on the road like this is a real, real tough loss for our ball club in every way.
He hasn't got over that ankle injury and he hasn't been on the court yet. Darren Cahill coach called me and said there was no way he could be ready.
He has that ability to set you up. He is deceptive, fast and can really run. As long as Darren stays healthy, keeps working hard and treats each day like it is a gift, he will be OK.
Darren McCarty is a big video game guy, and he brings his systems with him on the road.
Darren Clarke has an 8-wood in his bag because of the availability of being able to get to the green out of the rough when, normally, you couldn't. I think when you see rough as severe as it is here, instead of having to take a wedge and hit it out, you can take a wood and have a chance to get it on the green. To me, that is a player putting another club in his hand trying to take advantage of the situation.
We'd worked for the previous board, ... so we knew the proper way to run the club. In the very first week, Darren Brown was paying money out with no invoices, so we began to keep a log.
I am excited to bring Darren home. Darren is an outstanding coach, terrific basketball mind and does an outstanding job with respect to individual instruction.
Darren McFadden hits the hole quicker than anybody, ... He is a home run hitter and he proved that against the fourth-ranked team in the country.
With Liam Plunkett and James Anderson performing well in Pakistan, and Simon Jones now available for selection again, the selectors feel the priority is for these players to gain as much experience of one-day cricket as possible ahead of the World Cup and as a result Darren misses out.
Darren would like to make it clear that he has not decided to retire from one-day international cricket and the selectors fully understand his reasons.
I'm very, very excited. Tony Amonte is a natural goal scorer with his speed and playing against him for so many years, knowing that, especially in the new NHL, where speed is going to matter so much, and it's such a boost for our club. And Darren McCarty, three Stanley Cups, and he's so hard to play against. You play against him and he can skate, he's physical and he can score goals. And these guys I've heard nothing but good things from other players. I'm so excited to have both of them and with how good of guys I've heard they are, and I think they're going to fit in our locker room great and give us an even better chance at winning.
That's why Darren was out there. He is the guy that we want out there in pressure situations, and he wanted to be out there himself.
