Companies are under desperate pressure to shed these operations,

desperate last throw of the dice.

I'm careful not to give into theatrics when times are tough, I don't like it when somebody gives into outside pressure and puts on a show for others.

We're looking forward to getting our eighth year of coverage on SPEED Channel underway. We had great season in 2005, but we're ready for 2006.

The parched desert that was 2005 makes for an interesting 2006. Record companies are eager, if not desperate, to try something different.

They're a tough team to deal with when they're throwing numbers at you. We could have handled the pressure a little better, but coming away with a point is better than coming away with none.
