Examples of johnny in a Sentence

  1. Gabe Kapler:

    Very tough decision. I think we would have liked to have had him stretched out and perhaps considered him as somebody who could start one of these games for us, we just were n’t able to get there, and that’s tough. In particular it’s tough because Johnny has meant so much to the organization.

  3. Brian Pacheco:

    What I appreciate in Ryder’s response is that Winona Ryder states Winona Ryder is speaking from Winona Ryder own experience. I don’t know what happened in Johnny Depp’s relationships with Winona Ryder and Amber Heard, but I can speak to our experiences at Safe Horizon, and Safe Horizon’s absolutely possible that an abuser did not have a known history of abuse or did not abuse a past partner, but then went on to become abusive to a different spouse. What is really important to remember is that we don’t discredit someone’s allegations of abuse just because a former partner said ‘ that did n’t happen to me. ’ Safe Horizon’s within the realm of possibilities that both individuals are telling the truth.

  4. Ben Hallock:

    With the defense they played, the way the play went, he knew that it was going to be him, and he took the shot confidently, if you’ve never met Johnny, that’s Johnny. We’re glad he made it.
