Excuse Quotes

You've got to be smart and your team has got to talk and you've got to adjust. We can make excuses about that but we have not improved that area. We have not kept people in front of us very well.

But life's no storybook.
Love's an excuse to get hurt.
And to hurt.
Do you like to hurt?
I do, I do.
Then hurt me,
Then hurt me,
Then hurt me... - Conor Oberst

You won't hear any excuses from Antonio about having to lose the weight like Roy did. Antonio is a professional and he knows what he has to do. He will be on the mark.
