Mike Quotations | Page 6

Mike believes in us. He told me to trust my first instinct.

Mike Bloomberg has been to Albany a dozen times as mayor and brought home $2.5 billion in extra budget aid over the governor's veto.

Mike Bloomberg has worked hard over the last four years to bring New York City together and make it a city of opportunity for everyone. That's his vision for this city and he is working toward it by making streets safer, schools better, creating more jobs, building more housing and making sure everyone has access to health care.

Mike Bloomberg says he hasn't cut the NYPD budget, but what he doesn't want to talk about is that there are thousands fewer cops on our city streets,

Mike Boyle has really had a great spring so far. He?s really coming into his own as a wide-out. People forget he was a quarterback his entire high school career.

Mike Brady's been with me for 20 years and there isn't a job he doesn't do well,

Mike brings a wealth of business experience and will be a valuable addition to our senior management team.

Mike brought a lot to the table, ... As an attorney, he knew where we could go and where we couldn't, and that was very helpful to us.

Mike Brown has been such a catalyst for us emotionally as a leader, anytime you take an emotional leader off the field it impacts you.

Mike Brown has done everything he possibly could to coordinate the federal response to this unprecedented challenge. I appreciate his work, as does everybody here.

Mike Brown talked about the need to take seriously this hurricane ... It was difficult to know where on the Gulf Coast it was going to land.

Mike Brown was our first choice and only choice.

Mike came in this morning like he did (Wednesday). He scripted the practice, he set the format for practice, the schedule times. He reviewed Wednesday's (practice) film, met with the offense, and went over the corrections of Wednesday's film.

Mike came out of it with the worst part. He knows we're praying for him. He'll be fine. It's part of the game.

Mike came out shooting the ball well, and if someone comes out like that, you want to make sure you get them the ball. I think that?s what we did tonight, and I give credit to Mike because he made the shots.

Mike Campbell and Don Henley and I wrote 'The Heart of the Matter,' which was a huge hit for Don.

Mike can carry 20-25 times a game and any time you can have a quality runner like that getting those looks, it's a formula for success.

Mike can make so many people miss after the catch that sometimes he's thinking about what he's going to do once he makes the catch.

Mike Davis ran extremely well. He's so much quicker and stronger than last year. So is Cory Boyd. He's a big time back.

Mike deserves his chance to start but, putting my hand on my heart, I could say that Chris will play a very important part in our Six Nations campaign. We are fortunate to have such talent and this is a case of horses for courses.

Mike Devine has done a great job. He played all of 30-some odd minutes (34:22 to be exact) last year as a freshman. Coming into this year, we had Sean Samuel who looked like the goalie that was going to start for us. Mike kind of wrestled it away and got a chance and made good by it. He's a real calm kid, he's very athletic and the guys really enjoy playing in front of him. He's a guy that really hates to get beat. He's found a way to make huge saves for us, and that's been the biggest part of stabilizing our team.

Mike did a good job of not forcing the game. He let the game come to him, and his shots came to him. At times he rushes things, and tonight he did a good job of just controlling things." ()

Mike did a great job in the beginning with the run, so then they started loading the box up, ... And then it really opened up in the second quarter, where we had things open downfield.

Mike did a great job snapping today. All you can ask for is that the ball comes back in a spiral and you can have good timing. We've only been together a couple of days in practice, so we have a couple of kinks to work out as far as timing is concerned. But the field goals went great today. He gets the laces right there every time and it makes my job easy.

Mike did as good a job with what he had. But there's something I want to talk over with him. And there's something he wants to talk over with me.

Mike did that completely on his own. I suspect it will be a 6-1 vote to keep him.

Mike Ditka changed my life, just like Lou Holtz change my life, just like Bill Reed changed my life. He brought a commitment that I have heretofore never seen.

Mike does a great job. His kids play so hard and they are never out of a game.

Mike does all the dirty work for us. Cam scored 18 points on us, but Mike controlled him. He didn't explode on us, which we needed." ()

Mike doesn't miss games. He'll do whatever it takes to get ready to go.

Mike Dow deserves more than a nod here. Rather than put (the property) on the market, he wanted to find a way to allow the community to use it.

Mike Dunham had a real strong game. He came up with some key saves at the a very important time of the game.

Mike expects so much from us, and I think it's the first year that he really has that feeling it's something special. He has the right to feel that way because he's been around for a long, long time, coaching and playing the game. He understands what it's going to take for us to be successful.

Mike expects us to be the quarterbacks of the defense. He expects us to know what everybody else is doing.

Mike followed a legendary predecessor and responded to it with character, graciousness and the determination to raise our program to the highest level.

Mike got a lot of confidence early, and obviously we did a good job on third and fourth-down plays. We played hard in the fourth quarter. We just made a couple of big mistakes.

Mike got his turn (on Thursday). He hadn't played much lately but he went out there and defended the heck out of people.

Mike got most of our points, but our other kids did a lot also.

Mike got open in the back of the end zone. It was picture-perfect.

Mike guards the best post on the other team. I know he can shut that player down.

Mike Gue and I go back to my karting days when I raced with James, his son, ... So it was natural that one of the first calls we made would be to Essex. They had a seat available and we were happy to fill it.

Mike had 20 (points) against these guys last time. When he's in the game, we want to go inside and get him as many touches (as we can).

Mike had a good year. He's still learning, and has room for improvement, but he has two years and he'll just get better. We're expecting him to do very well.

Mike had a great body attack and was finishing upstairs. He had his opponent wincing.

Mike had a lot of success against these guys, and I know they had that in the back of their head.

Mike had a solid tournament again this year, making it to the finals for the second straight time. And he beat a real solid guy tonight.

Mike had been at a roast the night before, and he got on a red-eye and flew all night. He came over to my house, and the three of us sat and talked. Even though I was dead-set against returning, Mike convinced me otherwise. He said, 'I know what you're thinking. I know you're disappointed. But here's why you're needed and why we really want you to come back.' I have to admit, it was pretty persuasive.

Mike had been looking for a new contract and really had endured a lot of unfair criticism for holding out in Green Bay and a lot of people questioned his decision. He got the last laugh. In effect, he got traded and he got the new contact that he wanted. For those people that were knocking and ridiculing him for holding out and questioning his logic, he landed with the team that he was real excited about playing for and he landed a contract that he felt comfortable with and pays him like the elite corners in the league.

Mike had his mind made up Saturday, but we didn't know until Sunday. Until I went out there and took the first snap, you don't know. I might have just gone, 'I can't do it.' Once the newness wears off and the toughness wears off, 'I just can't do it.' And I was probably as immobile as I've ever been. I couldn't do anything.

Mike had no chance in Denver. They gave him that group, and everyone knew it'd be a bad group, and then they let him go. . . . You get a good group, and look what Mike's done.

Mike had no choice but to call the game off in the end. I was standing in the technical area and at times I couldn't see across the pitch.

Mike Hargrove is and always will be a Cleveland Indian. In addition to being a link to our championship past, his professionalism, baseball knowledge and experience will make him a valuable contributor to the next era of championship-caliber baseball for the Cleveland Indians.

Mike Harrell is one of those kids that when it's crunch time, he's on the front burner of who I'm giving the ball to. But I could point to a lot of kids who made big plays for us.

Mike has accomplished so much at Duke, and his roots are so deep that I thought it would be difficult for him to leave. I'm sure he felt it was in the best interest for him and his family. I know it is great for college basketball.

Mike has a duty to the game to tell us exactly what he knows and if there's been any wrongdoing going on we will chase it down - we will deal with it appropriately.

Mike has a lot of fans in here. This team has grown to love Mike. Some of us have been with him since he was an assistant here.

Mike has always been a great player. He's getting a chance now to really show the league that he can carry a team and hit big shots.

Mike has always been of interest because he is dynamic, he is not afraid. But there is a fear right there of the physical. I don't know if we are ready to accept that.

Mike has a shot to place at state if he stays with his mental focus. He hasn't lost to any 2A wrestlers this season.

Mike has a way of really getting people going ... just getting people fired up. I think that he truly believes that you practice like you play, so you have to go out and practice well.

Mike has been a leader in the school environment, which is reflected by his receiving the Superintendent's Award.

Mike has been a superb ambassador for Canisius College and has made significant contributions to the school over his 18 years as a head and assistant coach.

Mike has been a wonderful mentor and role model as we have worked together over the past several years. He was successful in developing a very capable team that will ensure continuity going forward.

Mike has been brilliant for us. He is a Bath boy and there has been a massive interest in him, but if we can keep winning we might convince him to stay here. He has a great rugby intellect and is sure to figure very heavily in the future of English rugby.

Mike has been consistent since November 2004 that he didn't kill this child. There's no evidence he is insane or has a mental problem.

Mike has been playing better but he hasn't always been a great free throw shooter. Those were big foul shots he knocked in with the pressure on.

Mike has been so awesome. He's such a clutch kicker. People are surprised (when he misses) because he's such a great player. There's nothing he has to apologize for. He's made so many clutch kicks for us.

Mike has been stressing driving to the net, ... Usually, he wants at least one guy driving to the net - and on that play we had all three. It was kind of a lucky play, where the Kings ' defenseman got a piece of the puck, but not all of it, and I happened to be in the right spot.

Mike has been working at a high standard in complementary therapy for many years and this is a further extension of his excellent work. He continues to push the boundaries of care to a higher level.

Mike has brought to the U.S. operations exactly what was needed during the last couple of years. Mike has the ability and the management confidence to delegate responsibility to the best people in his organization, and develop and promote them. This new assignment will give us the opportunity to apply those skills to our overseas operations.

Mike has certainly had his share of success leading up to this year. Even though he's a junior, he's brings a lot of experience to the team.

Mike has consistently been our second best player behind Pau. He has been fun to watch and fun to play with. He put together a complete season, and I?m glad he got rewarded for it.

Mike has done a nice job of fighting back.

Mike has done a tremendous job over the past two seasons as a graduate assistant on both sides of the ball. His familiarity with and loyalty toward the program make him a great asset to Miami football as he takes over as our tight ends coach.

Mike has grown a lot this year. Mike needs to be given a chance to create some stability and create some future. Right now, that organization lives day to day.

Mike has had a really strong season this year and for it to culminate with a state medal is really great for him.

Mike has had trouble maintaining his weight all season, so he decided to move up for the section tournament. He feels stronger and more comfortable at 152.

When it comes to blocking for Mike Vick, you have to stay on your blocks a lot longer,

You always felt safe when Mike was there.

Whoever finishes third should thank their lucky stars that Mike was not running, because he would have finished fourth if Mike was in the race.

Whoever got Mike Neal was getting an impact guard, and we obviously knew that coming in. A lot of times shooters are one-trick ponies. Michael is an outstanding shooter who happens to be a really good basketball player.

We don't expect to have Mike here until the start of May and it's unlikely Mick will arrive any earlier than that because they will be in Bangladesh.

We are truly fortunate to have one of the most respected and successful coaches leading our organization. Mike has been an integral part of our success and has been involved in all decision making. He will now lead our basketball operations, supported by the extensive talents within his department.

We've got some young guys contributing here for the first time in a long time. Guys like Mike Clayton, Carnell Williams, Alex Smith, a lot of these guys are not only playing, they're starting. So this team needed an injection of young players.

We had a mike check during the commercial break and then we were on. It went so fast I almost don't remember singing.

We had myself and another first-year goalie at the time, and it's the same situation here (with Mike McKenna, who's 9-0-1), and we had solid team defense. The biggest difference between the two teams is the offense. We're a lot deeper than that team. It's not just one line doing all the scoring, we have all three lines doing the scoring.

We executed much better. The top three guys in our order got everyone going. Jared (Mundt) and Mike (Lamb) both threw with much more poise and had hitters off-balance all game.

We really shared the ball well tonight and we had a lot of guys step up and hit big shots. The kids look to Mike quite a bit, but I think he did good job of sharing it, too.

We'll adjust as we see fit. But Mike won't necessarily be pitching the ninth.

That's their style of play. I think Mike might be disappointed if they didn't play that way.

That's the time chart that Mike Alden has always said; hopefully there's a coach by the Final Four. That's the public time chart. If not, you continue on for a little longer. But if you find your guy, it can happen in one day. It's a pretty easy process if you find your guy.

That was a mistake. You don?t want to leave Mike open to shoot the ball because if he gets hot like he did tonight, you can say goodbye. It?s an unbelievable thing, he can just get on a roll and keep knocking down shot after shot.

That was an unbelievable performance for a 10-year old boy. This was a pressure-packed situation where, if we lose, we go home and Mike showed unbelievable poise while out there on the mound.

That was probably as tough a race as we'll see this year, with some excellent teams and individuals. Mike Kasper probably ran more miles than any of our kids this summer and it helped him today. Both teams will run better.

That was the original intent and understanding. Jim came on three years ago with the understanding of working with Flanagan for a period of time that would result in Mike assuming the position of general manager of the ballclub.

That was his freshman year when he and Josh Houston split time, that's a lot like a guy who doesn't have a lot of attempts. They felt if they missed, they wouldn't ever see the field again. Mike through hard work separated himself.

The expectations for Mike have always been so high, he's raised that bar to a level that only he can reach. And when the puck doesn't go in the net or the team struggles, he's certainly the one that everyone's going to point to,

There are a lot of characteristics good coaches have at any level, and Mike has all that. Of course when you change leagues ... the game is different and that just takes an adjustment period. I think Mike has handled all that really well. He feels more comfortable.

(Yesterday) morning, Mike called and took a little step towards us. It wasn't a giant step, but it was a big enough step for us to realize it's time to start playing hockey.

We ran probably two-thirds of the time, ... It was a different game than what Mike Leach does. They like to pass the ball. Texas will have to be very aware of that Saturday.
