Cleveland Quotations

My mom bought me a white Strat, but that wasn't what I wanted, so I went to a guitar store in Cleveland and - the guy told me it was a really good deal - made an even swap for a blue Teisco Del Ray. I loved that guitar and used it a bunch.

Cleveland is my hometown, and the Indians have a narrow but rich history.

We're not going to take delight in knocking them out of a Super Bowl. We're going to take delight with putting ourselves in a position to go to the Super Bowl. It's a game of football.

If these guys couldn't play, they wouldn't be here. And I think that's what people forget. Everybody buys into the hype that comes out of the Cleveland media, and nobody here in Denver has truly sat back and evaluated the situation. If they did, they'd say it's a great thing Denver did.

If they say they're tired, that's an excuse. If they're tired, then Minnesota should be tired, Cleveland should be tired, everyone should be tired.

From the time I made my announcement that I was going to be an actor, I auditioned for community theater, did shows at Greenbrier, interned at the Cleveland Play House for a summer, took voice lessons, took ballet lessons.

Given up for dead a few years ago, Detroit has survived and appears to be coming back the way Cleveland and Baltimore and Pittsburgh came back.

He's got Cleveland on his back right now. He keeps on getting better. His jumper is excellent this year. The best thing he does is make his teammates better.

Hollingsworth supposedly sees the building as unsafe. The Vestry is also aware that Cleveland Clinic wants the property for their own expansion. The sale would benefit the diocese. This priest urged the Vestry to go public. They seem reluctant to do so. The parish is current on all assessments. While very small, the parish has a rooted history in the diocese and serves the poorest of the community in outreach. The parish was combined from two parishes to one community several years ago. Clark Grew treated the parish with great love and care. Hollingsworth is very unpredictable and seems to be offering solutions to a problem the vestry does not see as existing. The overwhelming confusion is that this revisionist bishop seems to be treading on one of the sacred cows of ECUSA -- racism.

We look forward to continuing the partnership with the Cleveland Clinic and we will have discussions directly with them.

Kirk was a good fit for us in Cleveland because of the love he had for the game. He had the commitment to quality and the commitment to teaching that helped him succeed.

I think the Cleveland Indians are looking at the IPO market and see that it is very hot right now.

I thought this was a gutsy performance by our team. Cleveland really jumped out on us and put us in a big hole and our team responded in the second half. Our third quarter defense was pretty special.

I think when Cleveland was mentioned it had nothing to do with the team as much as it did that he (would be) going back home.

I watched him in Cleveland at my last fight. He's tough, strong and fast but I'm up for the challenge. I respect the man but once you've beaten Mike Tyson these guys don't hold any fear for me. Once I've won the title I'd love to get in there with the Beast and take his belt as well.

I want to thank Mike for the three years of service that he gave to Cleveland State University. His hard work has helped elevate the program through a very difficult period and put it into a position to find success down the road.

I think the time in Cleveland helped him. It's tough to play there. It's a good development league, but it shows you what you have to do to get here.

I think there's been a general skepticism in the game, a lot of people inside and outside of Cleveland waiting for us to collapse. It's been so hard for people to believe. But if we're still standing by the last weekend, either race, it doesn't matter.

I think there are some obvious ones. Everyone knows that Cleveland wanted him. Dallas had put an offer out on him a couple years ago. Everybody knows that George Karl (Nuggets and former Bucks coach) is still in this game. Reggie Miller is leaving Indiana, and he's a two (guard). Those are just four teams off the gate.

Jeremy was actually with the Cleveland Browns when I was there. His father was a defensive coach, Jim Bates. Jeremy was actually a ball boy when I was there. He was 15-years old. We had a good laugh upstairs a little while ago.

Jeff will add to his current role by assisting me with any overflow duties that might arise. Hopefully, this position will further Jeff's career down the road and help the Cleveland Browns in the immediate future.

Larry is going to be missed. If Larry can be back for the playoffs, no one will want to play Cleveland if he's right.

I think experience goes a long way in the NFL, ... It certainly helped me the other day. I think back on my days in Cleveland and Indy, it definitely made me feel more comfortable. Miami had a different defense than a year ago, gave us a lot of different looks. But I was happy how our offense stepped up and played.

I think everyone knows my history in Cleveland -- very fond memories. I have a ton of respect for everyone over there that I've played with. It brought back a lot memories of old.

Our pitching is pretty close to where we need to be. I think we're going to be fine. It's not going to get easier going into Cleveland (this weekend). We're going to be playing a lot of good baseball teams early, so you're not going to be able to breathe. You've got to keep grinding.

Our biggest challenge is we played Boston, Cleveland, the White Sox and Cleveland again,

Our brand has always been very recognizable but sometimes change is a good thing. All of us at Cleveland Golf are thrilled with our new corporate colors and our brand's new look is just one of the many reasons we are extremely excited for 2006.

I thought I was going to be in Cleveland forever.

I think they're doing a great job all the way across the board. I think there are a lot of positives in the way the team has played. Nick has done a great job after that Cleveland game, whatever he's done in bringing them together. They're playing well.

... Judge, she (Ginsburg) specifically, in response to a question whether or not she agreed with the majority or minority opinion in Moore v. the City of Cleveland said explicitly: I agree with the majority, and here's what the majority said and I agree with it. My question to you is: Do you agree with it or not?

I'm sure Cleveland is going to be looking to knock us out of the playoffs. It's a playoff run from here on out. We have to play on the road, and what better way to get that experience than to go out and approach each game like it is your last game?

The bottom line is I've never had anybody bark at me in a mall with malicious intent. Everybody who barks at the kid from Cleveland is to let him know, "I know who you are." It's always a positive thing.

That win was huge for this ballclub. We go to Cleveland and we still have hope.

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.

When the blood of thousands of Americans is shed, the impact lingers. For a generation after the Civil War, the Republican injunction to 'vote as you shot' kept the party dominant for decades; from 1868 to 1912, only one Democrat - Grover Cleveland - won the White House.

You kept telling yourself to not look over your shoulder, but the Mariners were making so much noise. That's how Cleveland is right now. Everybody is talking about them.

Whether customers in Mansfield have competition reflects not at all if there is competition in Cleveland or Columbus.

We can't control (what Cleveland does). They are playing so well. We just have to worry about winning our own games. You know they are going to win the way they are playing now. But we just have to worry about how we'll play and win as many games as we can.

We came in today knowing we needed to win. We didn't want to back into the playoffs by having Cleveland lose and we lose. We came out and played hard.

We won't stand in the way of either one getting major league jobs. But just because we've made these decisions, that's not to say that either one couldn't be playing in Cleveland at some point this year.

The real message we need to take away from this is that the Seminole Tribe's decision was exactly that a decision made by the tribe itself. ... That is all that we have ever wanted. No one consulted us about the Cleveland Indians logo, the Redskins name.

We only won four matches but we got bonus points from three of those four. Cleveland State is a decent team that beat Ohio State earlier this month. There's kind of a rivalry between us so we were fired up and ready to wrestle.

We'll just have to get to Cleveland and play a little better baseball.

We were very surprised, disappointed and upset with the Cleveland Clinic's approach.

When I was in Cleveland years and years ago, I went there with Jimmy Warfield (the Indians trainer) and he introduced me to Mr. Joe Paterno.

When I signed here, Mark and I talked about how I'd finally be able to pitch for him and the Indians. Someone said, 'He was drafted by Cleveland 15 years ago, and he's finally going to get a chance to suit up for that team.' I kind of got the chills when I read that.

We think this will work because of the relationship between our fans and the team. Last year, Cleveland was in the top five in all the major leagues in TV ratings for baseball.

When you face the Cleveland Indians, you got to bring your 'A' game. You face that kind of a lineup and you get behind (in the count), you will get hit.
