Kenny Quotations | Page 2

The Texas Rangers organization would like to thank Kenny Rogers for his efforts over the last two seasons and during his entire Rangers career. As we look at 2006 and beyond, we feel it is in the club's best interests to move forward without him.

The talks were very positive. Celtic were as professional and as thorough a club as I have ever dealt with. In an ideal world we'll have a deal that both Celtic and Kenny are happy with, and he will become a Celtic player before the start of next season.

When we look at what Kenny Miller has done, it's a perfect illustration of the striker's life. In the games he has played since I have been in charge I thought he performed well but got no credit. Now he's performing well and getting credit. It's just the way it goes in that position.

It was the same time that the Indians signed Kenny Lofton, Albert Belle, Carlos Baerga, Jim Thome and Manny Ramirez to long-term contracts.

With his demeanor, his ability to get along with his teammates, everything, I've just been blessed. I haven't had too many in this business like Kenny Hasbrouck.

We think Kenny deserves a chance with a car that is set up for him and with an entire weekend of work with the team.

Before Kenny died, I think everyone thought we'd be a powerhouse, because we had everyone coming back except Myles. He was a great player, but we had everyone else coming back.

We didn't make offensive changes. Pitching-wise, you bring in a legitimate front-line pitcher in Kenny Rogers and we got back one of our own from the beginning, Todd Jones, and more importantly, with the players that we had, we've got a staff that's going to be able to take us to the next level.

Two veteran pitchers surviving the heat. Kenny and Radke gave their clubs everything they had. That was impressive.

Spadoni will be a guy that will play a little bit more football. Ali Highsmith and Kenny Hollis, those two will be moved around in those outside spots. We think we'll be fine there.

Coach Kenny Barrow is a good coach and I know him well,

That's what we were talking about as coaches after the game, the fact that we didn't fold when Kenny went down. It's great to have guards.

They've been outstanding. With Kenny here, I really think his influence, how he goes about his business, it's rubbing off. These guys are learning. They have somebody that they can go to with questions.

After The Partridge Family I worked as a stable boy for Kenny Rogers for a while. But during the show my Mom and I had a couple of horses named Beauty and Patience. Neither attribute was possessed by these horses.

I'm sure Kenny Cunningham has been up against him in the forwards v defenders sessions in training, and found first hand how Stephen is very difficult to deal with.

I'm sure Kenny (Goss) and I will be doing the old legal thing, but we won't be doing the whole veil and gown thing. It'll be relatively soon after it comes in, probably early next year.

In 2002 when he came to the Giants, his impact on the club was immeasurable. Without Kenny Lofton, the Giants wouldn't have wound up in the post-season and the World Series.

If Kenny doesn't knock down the shots when he does, we could have been blown out of the building.

I knew Kenny had a no-hitter, but his pitch count was getting up there. He was doing a great job, but it's early in the season and I didn't want to keep him in there too long.

I knew Kenny was due for a hit. We left a lot of runners on base (14), but we came through at the end.

I'm really looking forward to playing onstage with these guys, ... Kenny and Glenn have lots of enthusiasm and they certainly push me when we're all playing together, which is great.

I had 15 months there to debate it and back forth. At times, I was certain I was going to play and there were other times I was certain I wasn't going to play, ... Until the lockout ended and I had a chance to sit down with Kenny Holland to kind of discuss, 'Does it make sense for me to come back, economically, for the organization, personnel wise? What do you want to do with this team?'

I'm proud of our team. We great leadership from our four seniors - Peter Jerome, Josh Trottier, Alex Olson and Kenny Lybeck. So, I'm a happy coach, even though I'm disappointed with the loss.

Stick with what works. Kenny did a tremendous job with him.

Talks are going amicably. Assuming the deal is right for Kenny he will be a Celtic player next season.

It's time for me to make my own decisions. Everybody else has made decisions for me. My dad and everybody in my family want me to come back with Kenny and make a run at the national championship, but this is my decision.

I was a beginner again. I practiced hard and used to listen very closely to recordings of American jazz drummers such as Tony Williams and Kenny Clarke.

The No. 1 best-selling Christmas album of all time is from Kenneth Bruce Gorelick, the Jewish smooth-jazz legend Kenny G. American Jews have always produced a lot of holiday music, just not Hanukkah music.

The No. 1 key for our club is health because if we can keep our everyday players on the field, we'll score runs. We have the capability to have a solid pitching staff, especially with the additions of Kenny Rogers, Todd Jones and our two young pitchers.

It's great to see Kenny's level of desire and determination. I expect to learn a lot from him. Some of the veteran drivers are not the best mentors because in this sport everybody is looking out for himself. But I can trust Kenny and I know he'll be a great mentor. They say you're only as good as the company you keep, and in racing there's no better company than Ken Schrader.

The intention is to compete at the highest level in our sport and this leads us to the NEXTEL CUP SERIES. In building a strong foundation for competitive participation, Kenny Wallace brings with him the talent and experience that any team could use to advance or build a program.

The kids have a great work ethic and get along well as a team. They cheer for each other at meets and have a lot of fun at practice. What's great about this group is that they are helping to form a strong foundation for the future. We have two great captains in Maggie and Kenny who do a great job of motivating and supporting the kids.

It's disappointing, but it's still a really good book. I'm glad Kenny did it, and I'm glad it's going to get out. ... I still endorse the book. I think everybody should buy it. I think he did a great job on a very complicated topic.

It's discouraging. I wish I had a deal put together and I could bring out the 28 car. It was always nice to see whether it was Davey or me or Kenny Irwin or Ricky Rudd.

It took the Minnesota Twins to make me think we have to change. I knew they don't have any superstars, but they kept winning. When me and Kenny make the decision to change this team, we talked a lot because it was not easy. The only way we could build this team was around pitching and defense and speed.

I just don't think we're deep enough. Having a fourth back and a playmaker like Kenny Wilson just adds to the depth of our football team.

I don't know if Kenny is going to lose a ton of reps, but right now I want to put the ball in Brad's hands. On kickoff returns, on breaking tackles, he's the guy.

I don't know how much the music has influenced my writing; I know it's inspired me, and the young jazz musicians I went to school with in Detroit, Kenny Burrell, Pepper Adams, Bess Bonier, Tommy Flanagan, Barry Harris, were the first people I knew who were living the creative lives of artists.

I don't know if anyone has noticed, but there are a lot of good race cars out here, ... This is the best field (of Funny Cars) I've ever seen and that goes back to the days of 'Snake' and 'Mongoose,' Bernstein and the 'Blue Max' (references to Don Prudhomme, Tom McEwen, Kenny Bernstein and the car driven by three-time champion Raymond Beadle). I raced against all of them and I got spanked regular. But, bottom line, it's tougher now. There are no easy rounds.

(General Manager) Kenny Holland made it very clear to me that we're a four-line hockey club. That's how they won all their Cups in the past, and that's how we're gonna do it. Our fourth line can really skate, can really check and they can match up against anybody.

There is no finer guitarist than Kenny Burrell

It was an opportunity to spend some time together, have some fun to create some music and an opportunity for Kenny and me to sit down and do some things we wanted to do, ... The time was right and here we are.

Sometimes when you win the World Series you clean the house and get a new team. It's not easy, no matter what you do. (General manager) Kenny Williams has given us a good shot to repeat.

The evidence is clear, particularly from wiretaps, that there is a world of difference between Erin Kenny and Dario Herrera. Erin was someone whose vote was clearly for sale, which is why she pleaded guilty. Dario was someone whose vote was clearly not for sale.

It's the first time we feel we can go to someone. We had Jason Johnson last year. He wasn't necessarily the vocal leader we needed, but Kenny Rogers is that.

It's the most complete team they've had since they had Xavier Lee and Kenny Scott.

Even with all of the players that they have lost, they still have a great team. Kenny Thomas stepped it up and knocked down the key shots. We knew that they have capable players, and by no means did we take them for granted.

It's so funny what this song did, ... I went to a movie the other night and when we came out there were a bunch of kids -- around 14 or 15 years old -- with their hats on backwards and sloppy clothes. They were so excited to see Kenny Rogers. They had heard the music before but it wasn't cool until now.

It's not every day that a player of Kenny Cooper's caliber leaves one of the top club teams in the world to pursue his dream of playing professional soccer in his hometown. This is a great day for FC Dallas, Major League Soccer and the entire Dallas Soccer Community.

It's nice to see Kenny win. It's nice to see for him that hard work pays off.

That reminded me of the Kenny Lofton of yesteryear. Those were huge plays. We could have gotten some momentum going.

There was no doubt in my mind that I could definitely play at this level. That's something I can do, just keep working hard and trying to better myself and learn from Kenny Irons.

Tony is totally up for doing it; (drummer) Kenny and I are totally up for doing it. Tony wants to go out with a proper production, and it entails money. I think the agency is looking into that, but right now, I'm moving forward.

I told Kenny that Kevin brought it night in and night out. We just need Kenny Higgins to be Kenny Higgins. He has been all that we hoped for. He's a special player.

It means a lot. He's been to the dance before. Not in baseball, but he knows this feeling. His heart and soul is in baseball and he's told me many times he'd trade all his rings for a World Series championship. We're not only doing it for the players first in the clubhouse, but for Jerry and Kenny and everybody else.

It's going to be nice to have a veteran presence with both Todd and Kenny. I had a chance in 2004 to speak to Kenny when he was in town with Texas, and he's going to be nothing but a positive player around here for the younger pitchers. He's going to bring a lot to the table for us, and I'm going to enjoy having him around.

There were a number of other clubs trying to sign Kenny. We are delighted to have won the race and signed Kenny on a long-term contract.

I asked Kenny to sit in. Richie Furay, Rusty Young and Paul Cotton (from Poco) were there, too.

I called him Kenny Mayne. He was kind of ticked about that, so no way was he putting The Duck on his head. But he gave us a picture.

I can't thank Kenny enough for the opportunity he has given me. He gave me the opportunity of a lifetime.

grand palaces, art, fine dining, and fabulous stores. ... Don't worry about Wayne Newton and Kenny Rogers. Go to Vegas!

Because Kenny mainly wrote folk songs, I was giving him some of my songs to see if we could get more of an edge, get more rock with it, and also rearranging some of his tunes to have different flavors other than folk stuff, ... So I had gotten a little more involved than I would have preferred to have, and also I realized that I couldn't just send him out to the world, that I should be there (too).

You see, Kenny, there are some things you don't even know you know, until you're asked.

Since about 1980 Kenny Werner has been one of jazz’s unsung heroes

What you see is kinda what you get with me. I'm a very real person, or I hope to be, anyway. I don't have nothing to hide

Seeing a live Kenny Chesney show, you know what you're going to get. You know it's going to be an all-day party.

Kenny Burrell is a great musician and his music has helped to make me what I am today.

I started off with the really funky stuff like Ramsey Lewis, Milt Jackson, Kenny Burrell.

Kenny Burrell that's the sound I'm looking for.
