1.   Amonte is more durable, having played every Blackhawks game the past four seasons and missing just two in the past six years.

2.   And with Duval fairly familiar with the course, having played it occasionally during his days at Tech, who do you think will be favored?

3.   Center Adam Oates knows Sutter as well as anyone, having played for him in St. Louis, and gave him an unequivocal vote of confidence.

4.   Ciccarelli, himself a hard-nosed player, said Hunter was uncomfortable being here, a feeling Ciccarelli shared despite having played in three previous All-Star Games.

5.   Having never played the game or paid any attention to it, I knew nothing about woods, irons, etc.

6.   Having played against the Dolphins in practice in addition to watching them play, Dellenbach knows the Miami personnel quite well.

7.   Having played them once before and playing them at our house will be a big plus for us.

8.   Having played the previous three seasons with the Kansas City Chiefs, Parker is seen as a seasoned voice on the sideline.

9.   Having never played in a regular-season NFL game, and handing the job over to me, that takes a lot of courage.

10.   Having played far-flung movie characters from Cyrano de Bergerac to a Disneyfied friendly ghost, Gerard Depardieu finds one of his most interesting roles closer to home.
