Mike Quotations | Page 2

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 Tomlin is a candidate, obviously, in Minnesota.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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 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 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 he was waiting for the call.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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 never talks -- he proves it with his pads,

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

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

Mike Maslowski has been an extremely important player for this franchise since '99. He has grown with the Chiefs from his days as an NCAA Division III player, through NFL Europe, to starting linebacker and the most prolific tackler in a single season for this team. I don't think it's a coincidence that our defense began to decline when we lost Mike to injury in 2003.

Mike managed over 160 disasters during his tenure at FEMA, and his service in those disasters has been commended by many, ... He has done everything he possibly could to coordinate the federal response to the unprecedented challenge posed by Hurricane Katrina and the New Orleans levee breach. He is a good man, and I personally appreciate his work and his commitment.

Mike makes plays you'd never expect high school kids to make.

Mike made an accusation in closed session, and Dr. Thompson replied,

Mike made a mistake making 'Rocky' and unleashing me to the public,

Mike lost at 133, but on the other hand, we won two overtime matches (Sean Pearson and 152 and Alex Pearson at 171), and Danny Williams (13-0) wins with 10 seconds left (at 189). They won eight bouts, and we won six.

Mike looked really strong and that is the best race I have seen him run.

Mike looked awesome. That's a guy who's hungry to get out there and play.

Mike Logan wasn't there a year ago, and now he's there.

Mike Logan is a good football player, ... He had some injuries in the past but came in here in excellent shape. You could see that in the spring. He was moving a lot better. He did that in the off-season program. Then you say, 'In training camp we'll see how he'll be able to do.'

Mike Logan is a football player. Mike might make a couple mistakes, but somewhere along the line you're going to feel his presence on the field. He has a way of making plays.

Mike likes all things to be done on the field.

Mike Leigh and Ken Loach are the people I look up to. They are quality film-makers making interesting, controversial, ground-breaking movies with very little eye on the marketplace.

Mike (Kramer) had a very productive interview. I love his energy and his passion. I really like what Mike Kramer brings to the table... And the thing I love most is that he's an Idaho Vandal.

Mike knows what his role will be this season. We need him to push into the attack and support the forwards. He just needs to do what he does well in the final third and try not to do too much.

Mike knew what it was going to be like. He didn't play for Bear Bryant, but he played right after he was gone. He knows all about what Alabama fans want.

Mike knew his role and played well with a great attitude.

Mike King knew Peg Collier, whatever she sent in, would get beaten down. Mike King knew there was going to be kicking, fighting and screaming before (the bill) got to the entity authorized to pay.

Mike just wants to get in the ring. He's serious and in great shape.

Mike just stretched the defense out and it created more opportunities for me to drive. He came out so aggressive.

Mike Johnston is a competitor. He's a guy that cares about his job. I have confidence that he's going to get back to the big leagues.

Mike James is a positive player, ... He's got playoff experience, he's played for some good coaches and we're looking forward to bringing him in.

Mike is very responsible, I think you all know that, so I'm not really concerned about the fact that he'll be ready to pitch.

Mike is the nicest, most sincere, loyal person you could possibly want to know.

Mike is the kind of guy, if he hits his first couple shots then he doesn't think he's going to miss, ever, for the rest of his life. It seems to uplift his entire game. Because of that, I think it helped him concentrate even more on the defensive end.

Mike is the best defender on the team. You can always depend on him for a big rebound, too.

Mike is such a great player, such a clutch player. I joke with him, because he doesn't jump very high and he's not very fast, yet he's still one of the most effective guys in the NBA because he's so intelligent. He knows the game, and he knows what it takes to get it done.

Mike is struggling. We can't get him in there.

Mike is strong as a bull, and a surprisingly fast guy. And he's one of those players whose motor only has one speed - all out. He plays so hard that he gives the other team all kinds of problems.

Mike is still the starter, so obviously he's doing something that I am not,

Mike is probably one of the nation's elite running backs, and arguably the top running back in the state of Texas. One of the things that sticks out to me is that he's a pretty complete back coming out of high school.

Mike is pleased that he fought for working families.

Mike is our No. 1 coming out of the spring. He accepted a challenge like a man. He commanded the respect of the players.

Mike is only 19 years old. Look up the ring records of Joe Louis and Rocky Marciano and see who they were fighting after 10 months. You won't recognize any of the names.

Mike is one of the outstanding young coaches in our game today. He's an excellent teacher of the game and has worked successfully with players at all levels of hockey.

Mike is one of the best cold-weather players there is. Between us we made a ton of putts. Getting out to a good start helped as well. This was kind of a coming-out party for Mike as an amateur. He did well. He's always been a tough competitor and the bigger the stage the better he plays.

Mike isn't the quickest wrestler we've ever had, nor is he the strongest. With him, it is all about attitude, technique and conditioning. That gives him the edge. He also cares about this team so much. He will do everything in his power to help the team, whether it is getting a pin or being a strong leader on the bench when other guys are falling asleep.

Mike is not the same person he was three months ago. He's more sure of himself. He knows this is a different role. He's 'leader Mike.' He's working hard and he's working smart.

Mike is like our second lead-off hitter. He does a nice job getting on base and he gives us some speed at the bottom of the order.

Mike is just trying to bring focus to it, attention to it. We have to play within the rules.

Mike is just so key for us as a team, as a group of young men trying to grow up.

Mike is going to be a good player. He's got good balance and quickness. He's got some things to learn, but he's going to be a good player.
