Denver Quotations

I went to the Westminster College for Men in Missouri, which is what it was called back then, and transferred to the University of Denver where I ultimately got my degree.

I first moved to Denver to work with a group called YWAM, 'Youth With a Mission.' I was a kid - I was 18 - and did some work with homeless people. Really, trying to convert people is sort of an awful position to find yourself in, so I quickly, on my own, grew out of religious ideas.

Los Angeles, Houston, Denver, Atlanta: those are all cities that really didn't get big, didn't hit their stride until the 20th century.

John Denver I listened to when I was in elementary school.

'Things To Do In Denver When You're Dead' is one of the most underrated films. There were even different cuts of it. A wonderful film.

My early childhood was spent in Newark, New Jersey, but my family moved to Denver when I was 12.

As a kid, I thought John Denver was the perfect Prince Charming.

I've had some major disappointments. The quality of life in Denver is worse than when I took over, and I'm embarrassed about that. But I still put in 40 hours a week running Colorado.

Sprawl is the American ideal way to develop. I believe that what we're developing in Denver is in no appreciable way different than what we're doing in Los Angeles - did in Los Angeles and are still doing. But I think we have developed the Los Angeles model of city-building, and I think it is unfortunate.

I had a group of Hispanic Americans come into my office in 1976 who worked in a Denver packing plant. They had just been fired by their employer who turned around and hired illegal aliens for a lot less money. That had a big impact on me.

We're interested in continuing to grow our Denver presence and clearly a natural link or extension would be Canadian service.

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. Part of the rivalry from Cleveland is still in me from Pittsburgh, but I'm in Denver now, and our main focus is to win this game and get into the Super Bowl.

When we were talking to them about the marketing, I said traditional theater marketing never works for us. We need college students, we need young people who wouldn't necessarily go to Denver Center. We get a lot of people at Second City who don't know they're coming to an Actors' Equity theater. A lot of marketing we're doing is promoting Red Scare without the Second City name or the Denver Center name.

We're going to go into the game and simply play Denver Broncos football, and that's how it's been all season long.

United is a better company today for competing with Frontier in Denver, and it'll be the same with Southwest, ... If they fly you from Denver to every single place they fly, it would be 60 percent of the coverage United offers today, with no connecting flights.

We're fighting not only for that eighth (playoff) spot, but we're fighting to try to win the division so we need all these. Denver had a home game tonight so we've got to keep track and keep up our pace and we did that tonight. We were able to fight back and we ended up pulling out a great win.

We know we need to come into Denver and prove that Southwest deserves to be a part of the community. We have a fantastic customer-friendly product and we?ll make the market very aware of our presence. But also, we?ll be involved in the Chamber of Commerce, local event sponsorships and other ways we can give back to the community.

Ultimate Electronics has been a part of the Colorado community for nearly four decades. The work that the Boys & Girls Club does here in Denver is absolutely indispensable and we hope that this donation helps them to keep on inspiring the community's young people.

We're seeing that Denver has become a desirable place for Mexican drug-trafficking organizations as their first major stop in the U.S.. We believe this region is starting to be the hub.

We're right smack in the middle between downtown and the Denver Tech Center. With light rail coming in, we think it is going to be an even more exciting place to be.

We've got Denver coming up, ... I'm preparing like I'm a starter. That's what you have to do whether you're a starter or a backup.

The Denver Post has actually hired an editor to promote pot.

We have played here a lot in the past couple of years. It is much better than going off to a place like Denver where you have to deal with an unfamiliar gym plus the elevation.

Make Denver make the decision here. In other words, put pressure on Mike Shanahan. What's he gonna do? Is he gonna run it and maybe waste a down because it might not gain a lot of yards, or does he take the chance and throw it and if it's incomplete it stops the clock. That's what the Patriots are hoping for.

Should Southwest decide to fly from Denver to every city in their network, they would still only offer 60% of the coverage United offers today, ... We will be delighted to fly you to the 800 destinations they can't.

Moving our headquarters to the Denver area will facilitate lower occupancy rates, provide greater administrative efficiencies, enhance recruiting opportunities and allow more centralized access to all of the company's properties. It also better positions the company for future strategic growth.

My information is that he was in Denver. He told me some personal things and I know his mom has been sick. I know he was going to go to the Fantasy Camp but my understanding was that he was in Denver first to see his mother.

New Mexico and Albuquerque are being discovered, and it is our time in the sun. We are enjoying the same sort of growth in relative terms and percentages that Las Vegas, Phoenix, Denver and other high-growth areas have experienced.

Obviously, that's where the opportunity is for Denver, given the new convention center. It catapults Denver into the national spotlight. I'd hit the accelerator hard on that.

Obviously it was a game where they made more plays than we did. I congratulate Mike and the Denver Broncos. They are a good football team. They earned the right to play here (Saturday) and they played well.

I grew up with 'The Denver Post' and the 'Golden Transcript.' There was never a moment that I thought I'd work at the 'New York Times.' My goal, starting out, was just to see if I could be a journalist.

If these old Cleveland guys beat the guys from Pittsburgh and Denver goes to the Super Bowl, what a way for it all to unfold. I'm just thrilled to be here for it. I thank the Broncos for allowing me to be part of all of this.

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.

I got some very good champagne for the guys back in Denver when I went over 1,000 yards last year. But this was a lot different situation here because a 1,000-yard season hadn't been done in a while. I had to do more.

I have great respect for Dick Vermeil. He has watched over me and took care of me since I took the job here. They are coming off a tough loss to Denver and he will certainly have that team prepared.

I am really proud of our players because there has been a lot of hard work on their part. The thing I'm really excited about is we will be playing on neutral courts. It was a tough route going up to Connecticut last season. We can deal with altitude but it's a lot more difficult to go out and play on a home court. Louisiana Tech is a great team. I know Chris Long well and he has done a great job as a first-year coach. It will be a tough one out there but it's something we will look forward to. We know we have to go out to Denver and take care of business. We can only take it one game at a time and we won't look past anything.

Business and leisure fares overall are definitely higher than a year ago across the country. But Denver is bucking the trend in the lower direction in both cases.

Based on these announcements, we do not believe that Vail is on the selling block. However, we are confident that Mr. Katz, with his deep knowledge of Vail and extensive private equity real estate background, will actively work to maximize shareholder value through balance sheet management, cost cutting (cheaper Denver office space for one), and through the continued monetization of the company's valuable real estate assets.

Because we have had much demand for accommodations in Denver and the ski resorts in Vail, Aspen and Steamboat Springs, our company has previously done a good deal of reciprocal trading with TER. Now, all of these facilities will be readily available to us as an integral part of our own network.

I have impressed upon Denver that if there's any indication it's (abuse) intentional, go for state prosecution.

I found myself wondering what a gay person in such a masculine-oriented society did -- whether they fled to Denver or toughed it out. I began thinking about homophobia. In fact, the thing that destroyed the relationship between the two characters was their own homophobia.

From a big-picture point of view, they've been working on a bunch of stuff and everything seems to be going to plan and on budget. The thing that they seem be over budget with is the Denver refinery, and Rick George mentioned he's about 30 percent over.

From what I've heard, Colorado Academy has a good team. They have some girls who went to the state tournament last year. Most of the Denver teams are good. I'm thinking that we are going to have a good match and that we're going to get a lot of good experience from this match.

I don't think you can play for that. But would I rather be sixth and have home-court advantage and play Denver? Yes. I don't want to give Denver something to put up on the bulletin board. Obviously, I'd rather be at home to start the playoffs. It would great to be home. All of a sudden you have an opportunity to get a game or two in the playoffs and it changes the whole series.

If someone calls for service (from Cortez), he or she will get the same treatment as if there was a pilot from out of these parts. A pilot can fly in from Albuquerque, Denver or Phoenix to pick up people (in Cortez or Durango) who may need special care.

He'll make an impact, ... It will get bigger and better as he goes along. But this is not a very good team. What you saw against Denver was probably not realistic.

The people in Denver made it very loud and very clear that they do not want adults punished simply for making the rational, safer choice to use marijuana instead of alcohol in this city.

We've got to put it behind us and we've got to concentrate on what we've got coming next, ... We know what that is - it's Denver and they're playing at an awfully high level right now.

Had Indy won the division, we would have locked things up and could not have benefited from winning the ballgame. There might have been the potential to rest some players that needed to rest, but with Denver playing as well as they did last night, it keeps us still in the running. We're going to rest up the next couple of days. We're going to suck it up and get ready to play.

He was incredibly generous. That business supports Denver big- time.

He didn't have a chance to prepare a lot of that. His mind was on trying to beat the Denver Broncos - let's be fair. Not that it was informal, but there weren't slide shows.

Kent and Vicki Logan have ensured a strong future for modern and contemporary art at the Denver Art Museum.

Kareem loved playing for the Bobcats and made returning to the team his top priority. There were some talks with Denver and New Jersey, however all our real focus was on resigning with the Bobcats.

I take the responsibility of representing the Denver Nuggets very seriously and I truly hope Nuggets fans understand that. I support the team fully and can't wait to rejoin them on the court as soon as possible.

I think it has created an excitement for opera that will produce growing audiences. Nationally, it is important that operas have robust partners across the country to join in productions. That will mean Denver audiences will see some leading productions that have been produced in other places.

I think when I hired her last year, we had that conversation that I knew her desire was to be a head coach and that her time at the University of Denver wouldn't be very long.

I think when Champ intercepted that ball and ran it all the way back and (almost) scored, Denver had the game in control.

It has been a good year for many Denver merger and acquisition professionals. Many private equity firms have made and exited good investments, and are having success raising their next funds, while investment bankers are helping broker many deals. It's a hot and competitive market right now. Additionally, the first baby boomers turned age 60 in 2005. We are beginning the early stages of what is projected to be the greatest wave of business transition in U.S. history over the next decade.

I think this win shows our mental toughness, because it's mind over matter. You have Jason Kidd who played 46 minutes last night, and then plays 40 tonight. This is something our guys can look back on and is a good experience for this team. Denver is one of the best homecourt teams in the league. Things worked for us. We got fortunate that Carmelo got hurt.

I want to thank everyone for their prayers and support during this time. The Nuggets have the best fans in the world and they have truly shown me some love. I have also really appreciated the heartfelt support from my family, teammates and the Denver Nuggets organization.

I was just sick and tired of hearing that John Denver song for five days leading up to it,

I think Denver has got a steal, too. He's more than big enough.

Our idea of a date was him coming to Denver for me to type his papers.

Our biggest concern going to Denver is to maintain run discipline,

Resource optimization will enable us to take advantage of our Denver infrastructure to add service in an extremely cost-efficient way. We will continue to pursue improvement initiatives to not just meet but exceed our customers' needs.

Pittsburgh? Nah, I'm not surprised. Pittsburgh is a tough team, just like us. I'm not surprised by that. And Denver -- they're 13-3. And Seattle? Nah, no surprise. And yeah, we expected to be here.

Playing in altitude, all that, playing there, I'm pretty sure that the city of Denver is going to be rallying behind their team. It's one game away from the Super Bowl. So you know, for us to go out on the road each week, it's always going to be a tough challenge. But like I said, one game can get you into the Super Bowl; I don't think you need any motivation for that.

REALTORS(R) in Denver already rely heavily on the Denver Board to provide the resources and support necessary to be successful in this profession. We intend to significantly increase the value of membership in DBR by applying exciting new technologies and business models to help our members be even more effective advocates for the consumer during the home buying and selling process.

My time at the Denver Public Schools taught me there is no harder, or more important, job than being a teacher.

Look at that game and Denver doesn't look like the same team because Miami didn't allow them to be.

Matt is a great fit for our staff. He is a young aggressive assistant coach who has been at two Division I universities that have turned around with his recruiting and coaching abilities. He was an integral part of the players landed at Denver and Middle Tennessee. He was a heck of a player in college who was a bulldog and he carried that into his coaching career. He has recruiting ties in the Northwest, West and Midwest.

I was having a good day, ... until you reminded me of losing my senior players and now Skinner. Do you know that senior class won more games than any in Denver history?

I think playing in Denver is an advantage. We've played there (in the Mountain West Conference tournament) the past three years. We're very comfortable in the arena and at the altitude.

I think if you ask any of the players or coaches, they will say they love the game in Denver because it has a bowl game atmosphere.

I thought he was fortunate to have a chance in Denver with their history of running backs. I was cheering for him to make it.

I thought I had it, but right after the guy from Denver said you tied it. I had 46 right there, but I couldn't quite get that last inch up.

The alternative for Denver is Frontier. I put the grant in because I thought I had a pretty decent plan to get additional service to the West. In the past, United has been pretty nonchalant about wanting to add another flight to that market.

The '85 Bears were a great football team and aside from that one game, they played exceptionally well all year, ... Denver at 13-0 was tremendously strong in all areas, too.

That was a game of big plays tonight. Denver made more than we did.

I would like to think that Denver voters were smart. To vote for a massive new courthouse and jail because someone is popular is shortsighted.

You don't cheer for one team or the other, but I kind of wanted to play Denver because of Casey Hampton. We played against him a couple of years ago and I have a lot of respect for him.

We had more customers for the Indianapolis game than we did for the Cincinnati game, and I'm sure we're going to have more for the Denver game than we had for the Indianapolis game.

We had a little jam session, and it didn't take long to realize we both like the music of John Denver. I ran into Brad again in Cheyenne over Labor Day. They have a thing at the festival where you sing a 30-minute set for your supper at a local restaurant. We just happened to be scheduled back-to-back with Brad, and he invited us on stage to do a couple of Denver songs. The next day we rehearsed a 45-minute set and performed it on stage.

We've got offers from a number of markets to move the show. Denver would like us. Miami would really like us. Seattle is very interested.

Utah obtains most of its crude oil from Canada, Las Vegas, Denver and northern Utah.

We don't have any of the tradition a team like Moffat County has. I have girls from all over Denver on my team, where the Moffat team is probably made up of girls from the same town.

We are really looking forward to coming to Denver. Denver has a lot of the same demographics as our other cities. It has a good freeway system and expanding light rail.

We're not going to go back over what's happened in the past. We're just happy we're finally getting a piece of art that we commissioned and that we thought was worthy of Denver International Airport.

When Denver started to emerge, I believe, is when law enforcement started directing resources to the border.

We didn't play. None of us. That's embarrassing. Our front-line guys didn't compete with their bench. There was no excuse for our performance. I gave the guys (Thursday) off because of the upcoming schedule and I shouldn't have. As bad as we played, Denver should have beaten us by 50 and they didn't.

We didn't play. None of us. As bad as we played, Denver should have beaten us by 50.

We are going back home, and we have a big game because Denver is playing really good basketball. It is going to be a challenge because we need a win.

There is a very strong brand recognition in Denver due to the significant hunting, fishing and outdoor community.

We believe expansion plans in Denver are aggressive and that Southwest capacity will more than triple in the next two years.

The Denver Public Schools policy is very clear. No weapons, of course, but any replica, or anything resembling a weapon at all (is not allowed). The disciplinary steps can lead up to expulsion, even for a replica weapon.

The Denver District Attorney's Office was assigned to be the special prosecutor in regard to some criminal allegations that came from Jefferson County. The Denver District Attorney's Office has presented the allegations to the . . . Jefferson County grand jury.

The Denver Broncos will be our toughest challenge this season. To have any chance, it will take our best game and certainly a lot better performance than the last time we played them.

The Denver Broncos just aren't going to allow Kerry Collins to complete a pass in the middle of the field.

I'm not bitter at all. I think my memories in Denver are great.

I was born in segregated Birmingham, Alabama. I didn't have a white classmate till we moved to Denver.
