Mike Quotations | Page 3

Mike may make a couple of mistakes, but somewhere along the line you are going to feel his presence on the field.

Mike Miller brings a lot. He can shoot the ball, rebound well. The intangibles are there for Memphis with him coming off the bench.

Mike Miller caught fire and they just executed well at the end of the game. You have to know where he is on the floor, and he was drawing a lot of attention. He was a difference-maker tonight and did a great job as far as carrying his team and making some big shots.

Mike Miller just hit some impossible shots. I mean, some of them were indefensible from where I was standing. He made great shots, and they turned up their defense on us.

Mike Morrison did a wonderful job today with a pretty strong provisional in the long jump and an automatic in the high jump. We were looking for a commitment from our guys and they stepped up and competed better than we did last week. We're a young team and we need to be patient, but our goal is to get better every week and we did that.

Mike Mullen has a background in grant writing and that's what we'll be needing. Everyone is very impressed with how much the mayor is up to speed on this project.

Mike never talks -- he proves it with his pads,

Mike Neville's become more of a pocket passer. He's making the right reads and the right throws. He's come a long way.

Mike Oxley has provided steady, dedicated leadership to House Republicans, and I am grateful for his service,

Mike Peck has already had some gritty performances this season, and Karlis has been lights-out in both of his appearances.

Mike Pence has done a fabulous job leading the Republican Study Committee. They have put out a realistic and credible and specific budget proposal to get spending under control when virtually no one else is talking about it.

Mike performed exceptionally well when he came on as a replacement against New Zealand.

Mike Perry is a well-respected coach who has brought and will continue to bring distinction to Georgia State's men's basketball program. We look forward to him being with the program for many years to come.

Mike Piazza is one of the greatest-hitting catchers in the history of baseball and has his name written all over the major league record books. This is an exciting addition to our club and we are thrilled to see him add to those numbers while wearing a Padres uniform.

Mike played outstanding. He played hard. We played different because we weren't afraid like we were last game.

Mike plays with a lot of passion in everything he does. It showed tonight.

Mike practiced and looked good. We are not overly concerned.

Mike pretty much funded it out of his own pocket based on his love of the community.

Mike proved early on he would be an asset for us.

Mike pushed it and I appreciate that. I've always wanted the opportunity. I'd love to.

Mike Reagan was an adopted child adopted by Jane Wyman and Ronald Reagan. Here, at Centers, we do adoption support. And Mike Reagan aligns well with our mission.

Mike really came to play. He had 26 points in three quarters. He's really starting to step up his leadership, starting to play like a very determined senior.

Mike requested a meeting with the full board of directors, and I was happy to oblige. Mike has not told me exactly what it is he wants to say, or what he expects out of the meeting, but it will be useful to hear his side of a story that has obviously stirred up so much emotion.

Mike Ribeiro demonstrated during the 2003-04 season how much of a force he can be. His creativity, his passing skills and his vision make him one of the key components of our offence.

Mike Richardson was huge for us. When you have a guy blocking shots like that, that changes the other team's complexion.

Mike Royko, of course a famous local journalist, in one of his books about Mayor Daley claimed that not only did the mayor not want the expressway going through Bridgeport, but he also wanted to keep a specific divider between the whites and the blacks. Of course the Daley administration at the time denied that and said they wanted to get rid of an inelegant turn in the expressway.

Mike runs good routes, and he's always making the big play, ... He pulled down a few high balls I threw last week, and made it look like nothing. I've played with some good receivers at UCLA, but Mike is in a class all by himself. He's a real classy, quiet Oregon guy. He just takes care of business.

Mike said from the very beginning, that we are always going to be the 'other' team.

Mike said he was already thinking of going on active duty, but after 9/11, he felt that he had to do it.

Mike said he was waiting for the call.

Mike said if a running team ever gets the guy, he's going to be great. With those guys, he never had a chance to play. Mike was right.

Mike said 'I want to see you in your office' and he said 'I'm going to resign as head coach of the Bills. Of course, I was completely surprised at his statement. He seemed very firm about (it). He said he wants to move on.

Mike said we will always be the other team. Even though they are a sixth seed, they're the pick over us. We win 11 in a row, and they say it's our fault the other teams weren't as good. We can't worry about it. We just got to go out and play.

Mike says he's taken more cruises with me than he has with his wife. Which is true.

Mike says when you get to Detroit everything goes by so fast that you really don't even feel like it's real preparation.

Mike Scott has been giving us great defensive presence all year. The rebounds he got down the stretch were very key.

Mike showed that he was a capable scorer last year. He's probably been our most consistent player from day one of training camp. He's one of those guys who is undervalued by people away from our team, but who the players and the people who are close to our team realize how valuable he is. He does all the little things out there that help a line be successful and help a team be successful. He's certainly getting rewarded for it from a production standpoint, which is exciting for him.

Mike Smith played a wonderful game. He gave a gallant effort the whole night.

Mike's one of those guys. He's going to make you miss. You're not going to get Mike every time even with that safety coming down.

Mike Southall is a great player. He's a man down there in the post.

Mike speaks up all the time. I don't see him taking any back seat.

Mike stayed near me, when I came off, he gave me some words of encouragement. More or less on game day, he kind of kept his distance from me. If you have a lot of guys talking to you on game day . . . you just want to go out and play.

Mike stepped up. I couldn't be more pleased. He's a sophomore that's kind of had an up-and-down year, and he played fabulous. With minutes like that, he's going to get some more.

Mike's the boss, and he's going to be great one. I think it'll be great to work with Mike and Tom.

Mike still needs more balls, more catches, more hits. You don't get hit at all in practice and he hasn't gotten hit much in games. You've got to get used to the bumps and bruises on your wrists, your legs.

Mike still thinks he can catch 70 to 80 games. We'll also use him as our designated hitter against American League teams on the road (nine games against the Angels, Seattle Mariners and Texas Rangers). And he could play first base against some left-handed pitchers.

Mike stretches the defense out so much. Late in the game I started getting fouled a lot because I started penetrating the middle and guys didn't know whether to help or not because Mike had hit six or seven threes.

Mike surprised me with that. I just told the guys to take the rest of the day off.

Mike takes a lot of pride in his ball handling with the play-action. He had a chance to learn from a very good ball handler in Joe Sanford.

Mike Tannenbaum is an extremely hardworking individual who moved up from the entry level to the top of his profession. I am happy and proud of him.

Mike the trial attorney is exceptionally prepared, talented, and in regard how he runs a case in court, very professional. When he was trying cases ... you had to know he was going to be prepared. Very prepared.

Mike Tindall was missed by England in the last Six Nations and he is one of those players that is influential in the way we play and is a leader in the team.

Mike told me that he would not be seeking a renewal of his contract for personal and family reasons, even though we had reached agreement on its terms. We both agreed that it would be in his and the team's best interests if he stepped down immediately. This has come as a shock.

Mike Tomlin is a candidate, obviously, in Minnesota.

Mike Tyson is the most complex person I've ever met in my life. I've known Mike since 1986. We're both from Brooklyn. I didn't know him growing up, but once he became heavyweight champion, I knew him then.

Mike Tyson was provoked and verbally and physically attacked. His actions were justifiable.

Mike used a lot of his boxing skills and angles to get away from him. He?d be hitting him with punches as the guy came charging forward. It was like a matador with a bull, and he was hitting him with some hooks.

Mike Wallace has been the heart and soul of this broadcast since he and Don (Hewitt) started it almost four decades ago. Millions and millions of Americans have tuned in to '60 Minutes' on Sunday nights over all those years to see him in action and to find out what questions he would be asking each week. I'm glad he'll be around to do an occasional interview. He's had such a powerful impact on all of us who work here, on how we conduct interviews and how we report stories, that there will always be a piece of Mike in everything we do.

Mike wants to be that much more lethal by making himself a great throwing quarterback,

Mike wants to focus on dinner. He'll make everything in the kitchen from the bread to the desserts.

Mike was a great bass player. But we had no idea what he was destined for, in all honesty. He was just a blues enthusiast who was in our circle of musician friends in San Diego.

Mike was a great guy and I know he'll be coaching somewhere else. Wherever he goes, I won't mind playing for Mike Sherman. He's just that great of a guy.

Mike was a little nervous ... We weren't, because his reputation is so immense.

Mike was a prime mover in the contemporary China field -- in some respects, the prime mover -- for much of the past three decades,

Mike was a rink rat as a kid. This shows there is much more to hockey than just playing.

Since Werner got fired, Virginia quarterbacks coach Mike Groh has been by a couple of times, and so has a bunch of guys from Penn State.

She gave the most stirring speeches, ... and she was never afraid to ask for money. Once when I was speaking at a rally, she grabbed the mike and told me to be more forceful in my fund-raising pitch. The crowd loved it; I think we raised $90,000 that day.

Most of the teams here are from the south and have been playing for awhile. All things considered we're not in bad shape. We need some help for Mike (today). Mike has been tearing it up all spring break.

Lucky enough that Mike Mularkey was in a position to make a pity hire, and I think everyone knows that's what it is, and he put me back in here.

I have a studio at home where I record all of my solo material from the beginning 'til the very end, thus also the ideas which later on will find their way onto yet another Mike & The Mechanics album.

I would think it's a no-brainer you carry three catchers (in the playoffs). And there are no other catchers on the roster. Mike did a heck of a job defensively. ... Mike can be proud of the fact when he caught in the big leagues, the lead didn't diminish at all.

He just competes. There are guys in this league with better stuff and more experience, but Mike Peck just battles. He has been good enough to put us in first place.

...He knows what he's doing. I think we'll just see a very good team being formed here that will carry on with what Debbie Hopkins started. We have a 'buy' on it. We feel that it was a good move to get this over with quickly. We've always had the utmost regard for Mike Sears.

There are so many negative myths about black male athletes, myths that I have personally committed myself to eradicating. But all of my actions will never carry the media clout or have the domino effect of one of Mike Tyson's misdeeds.

This was our best defensive game of the season. Mike St. Mary, our JV coach, one of our assistants and I were well prepared. We had a number of games we had scouted and we were able to take them out of a number of things they ran.

If I was in Dr. Thompson's shoes, I might have found the comment Mike made offensive as well.

I am so happy for this team, for Mike Shank and for Mark Patterson. Everything went almost perfectly, and to come so close to winning this race I think really gives us a lot of confidence looking to the rest of the season. To be racing with this team and with Mark is an opportunity that I am very thankful for, and I just can't wait to get the rest of the season going.

Frankly, if you've been in this business long enough, you sort of know, ... Everyone knows where we are in this situation. I don't have to provide further education in that deal, and Mike has stated publicly where he is. So, you go about doing your stuff and that's all there is to it.

Freddy is going to speak from the heart to all New Yorkers, and he is especially looking forward to debating Mike Bloomberg himself instead of Bloomberg's $50 million smear machine,

Fred has given us a good look. He's big and fast and strong. And Mike is doing the same thing. He's big as well, he has speed, and he likes to run over people. That should prepare us pretty well for what we'll see.

Getting Ryan (Fodor) and Mike (McLeod), two of the most publicized kids in the state last year, the two MVPs, really helps us.

I am confident that Mike will provide positive leadership in the new direction that Gov. Blunt has asked the department to pursue.

I am especially confident in Mike Rousseau and our selected team's ability to grow the business as we enter a new chapter in the history of HBC.

I am excited about it. I am flattered. I am also aware that it's a great responsibility having to take over the leadership of the city, especially having to fill the big shoes of Mike Stewart.

Goalkeeper is a specialized position, and goalkeepers need the specific training that they can get from Mike. To have somebody that can take the goalkeepers aside and give them some goalkeeper workouts, so to speak, is very important to their development and our game's development. The way it stands now, having Danny and Drew spending some time with Mike each and every day is a benefit to them.

I don't think I've seen a horse with a turn of foot like him for quite some time. The first time Mike hits him he just explodes.

forward to campaigning with him, and a united Democratic party ... to take on Mike Bloomberg as we head into November.

I don't think we played to our strengths. We just didn't get Greg and Mike enough inside touches. I thought they were smaller and not as physical as us, and we did not take advantage of that.

I had two starts, really. The first was going to the Italia Conti stage school, aged 15. I'd gone to sing, but one day I found myself doing an improvisation and thought, 'Oh God, I quite like this acting thing.' The second start was meeting Mike Leigh when I was 22. He showed me I could play people that weren't like me.

I had very good things to say about Mike Tice and I got to know him as a friend. He taught me a lot about coaching. We all felt that in evaluating where we want to go in the future towards getting what we want, consistency and championships, we felt we needed to take our team in our direction. We felt we needed to make a change.

I believe this is the best ballgame that Mike Simmons has played. I was glad to see him run the court and get a couple baskets. He is gaining confidence and when you gain confidence, other players gain confidence in him.

I believe this is the team (to win it). Mike and Phillip are more focused, which was one of our weaknesses last year. No one can hold them on the inside.

But they didn't keep me up at night like Mike. You know how, when you go on road trips, the night before a game you like to check out the restaurants? Well, you couldn't do that in Chicago. You'd worry about Mike getting 60 (points). It was a good game if he only had 40.

But we're going in after a better game in Edinburgh and we have Mike Owen, Gareth Cooper and Steve Jones back.

But we told Mike we're not going to back off on what we see as our legitimate role as a party.

Capt. Kennedy, you answer the first question and you hand the mike to whom?

Buddy, Mike and A.J. have played together forever. They should be in for another big year on offense if they stay healthy.

Because of the history and Ambres got hit earlier, ... I guess Mike (home plate umpire Mike Everitt) felt like Zack sent a message.

Basically my car's is pretty bad shape and I won't be able to run it at Airborne, ... But I'll be there with a car...Earlier this week, I got a call from Mike Sangermano, who owns a Late Model that runs at Waterford Speedbowl...We're going to combine the two teams for Sunday's Furniture World of Vermont Fall Foliage 150 and hope for the best.
