Jim Quotations | Page 2

I don't remember any kind of bet. Jim and I play together over the summer and we're pretty good friends. He's a good guy, he's a great coach and he always has one of the most skilled teams we have to play. He fields one of the best passing teams in the area. He always puts out a good product. In fact, now that you mention it, I think he might owe me a dinner.

I don't think I could really talk about this (the TV aspect of working a big game) before the 1985 World Series when I was working (on ABC replacing Howard Cosell) with Al (Michaels) and Jim (Palmer). I don't think I could tell you how to do a big game.

I enjoyed my time at DC. Dan Didio, Geoff Johns and Jim Lee were great to me, and I'm very grateful for the opportunities they gave me. Having said that, I think it's important to try new things and work with new people to keep myself fresh.

I don't think it takes long for somebody to be impressed with Jim Leyland and his knowledge of the game. He knows what he wants to accomplish, and he's done it so many times. He's a great communicator. The players like him.

He's had a lot of background and there is a lot of goodwill among the aboriginal communities. For those looking to get that development done and working with the aboriginal communities, I think Jim Prentice is a pretty bright light.

He talked about Jim Devine all the time ... and I knew Pat had such respect for him. In the back of my mind, I knew we were moving. I knew if Jim made him an offer, we'd take it. I thought this would be a big key to Pat's success.

He is doing well and, basically, he's ready to go back to work. But by the time he got game-ready, there might be a couple of games left. Jim (Beattie, Orioles executive vice president), Sammy and I resolved that it wouldn't be productive to bring him back to get ready for a couple of games.

He helps us in the field. But he helps this team more in the clubhouse, in the hotels, in the bus, in the planes. You look around baseball and one of the people they don't say anything negative about is Jim Thome. They love the way he respects the game and treats his fans and teammates.

He has the attitude that it's do or die. We all know that. We want to stay with Coach Haslett. If we get on that football field and don't make plays and lose football games, then obviously Jim Haslett won't be here and we won't either.

He is a driver with talent, ability and maturity, he manages to finish all his races. My record is going to be in good hands. Everything happened very quickly in my career. It was a very great honour for me to break Jim Clark's record (as youngest champion),

He doesn't have a lot of sympathy for that position when you played nine, 10 years in the league in that Jim Brown era he played in.

He needs privacy and time. I'm going to take Jim out to the wilderness somewhere and take a long, restorative wilderness walk.

We (township road supervisor Jim Baker and I) never saw two inspectors. There was only one, if even he was there.

We're on par to win the nomination with flying colors. It remains to be seen what kind of showing Jim Gilchrist is going to make. ... He's talked about one issue and this is a fairly sophisticated district.

We're number two in the polls and the number one candidate, Jim Davis, has more money and a better chance of winning if we unite behind him,

We are fortunate to have someone in this role with Jim's unique credentials across both the communications and new media spaces. The mandate of our group is to maximize the opportunities for cross promotion across multiple platforms and distribution windows, as well as across our own business units. And, as a new business unit, it's crucial that we effectively and strategically communicate our messages to the press, our clients, consumers, retailers and adjacent industries. We'll look to Jim to lead our efforts in both of these important areas.

He really wanted to be Tiger's partner, and Tiger can't help but get motivated by that. Jim won't get caught up in the atmosphere or the pressure that goes with playing with him. You get Tiger a guy who is hitting on all cylinders mentally and won't get intimidated by that atmosphere, and that's a big plus.

He's a compassionate guy; he's a person of substance; he's passionate about what he wants for this state. Jim Davis is a nice guy. From my perspective, it takes more than a nice guy to get elected.

He said he felt a little tight. By the time I left the ice, I wasn't aware there was much of a problem. But certainly talking to (trainer) Jim Ramsey afterwards he felt very uncomfortable.

He's kind of in no-man's land a little bit. He's early on breaking stuff and late on fastballs. Jim Edmonds is probably in the same zone. You've got to swing your way and fight your way out of it. You can't try to press, but it's easier said than done.

He's down there to play, but we're here to win. I have to talk to Jim and figure out who's the best for us.

He's got tons of credibility. Just the other team knowing you have a Jim Leyland on the other side, they know you're going to play the game the right way, you're going to play hard and you're not going to quit until that 27th out is made.

We may look differently and act differently, but we both share a love for Eastern basketball, a love for the game, a love for people. To go in with Jim is befitting.

Huck and Jim are both going through similar things. They're both trying to figure out what it means to be a man in their own lives. They both want the same things: freedom, prosperity.

He was the biggest cheater the game has ever known. I told Jim he shouldn't be wearing glasses because he must have Superman vision. The ball would be two feet from me or Bernie, and there's Jim ? from the other end of the court ? making line calls.

He cares for his players. He gives them that individual touch. And he's honest. When he tells you something, you can go to the bank with it. He's an excellent human being. If you can't get along with Jim Tracy, then you've got issues.

He coached at the highest level as an assistant under Jim Calhoun, he took over a program and learned how to become a head coach, and then he came to the Ivy League -- and it really helps to know how to recruit and how it works in this league. His background was impeccable. He was a front-runner from day one.

Having a Jim Carrey film over the holidays is a pretty sure bet. Audiences trust he'll have the goods, and they want to laugh and have a good time this time of year.

He is widely respected among baseball professionals and was highly recommended for the position. I am confident Jim will be a major contributor to our effort to strengthen the team.

I was Jim Sundberg, ... Oh, you remember him?

Kingdom and Vanguard - that's great for us, man. Jim Haley's a legend. To play him and get a win against him...it's big for the program.

I would think it's a good fit, ... but that's not something for me to decide. He started his career there, and he's obviously one of the top managers in the game that's not employed as a manager. Jim is going to manage somewhere in 2006. Definitely.

Jack and Jackie gave Jim a great value base. He saw how Jack did it and how Jackie supported it. Jim is such a natural leader and a natural competitor. He feels a responsibility to lead people. That's what led him to be a head coach.

Jordan and Jim White (16-10 at second doubles in 2005) are going to be playing first doubles for us. Our singles players are definitely going to be strengthened with Nick playing, but our doubles teams definitely have an opportunity to develop.

John did a real good job staying ahead of the hitters most of the time. He was also able to get the curve ball over against certain hitters. I really liked the way he competed. He got seven innings in against a team that beat Coleman 12-5 and beat Jim Ned 6-4. I'm real proud of the way he pitched.

Jim Wright was one of the best proponents of geography poetry. America is always about neighborhood. Jim Wright's neighborhood was Martins Ferry and the Ohio River.

Jim will not make it but Michael, who has a facial injury, will play. And Scott, who has been training with us, will help out by being on the bench.

Jim Wilkes is a like a father to me. He's a good friend. We have fun together, we golf together and we hang out. In fact, I just got off the phone with him and our relationship hasn't changed. He advised me, but I never paid him to be my adviser. He looks over me as a friend and will always do that. For people to say he will not, just is not true.

Jim Weaver and Seth Greenberg are to be commended for how they have addressed this issue.

Jim was the first full-time Bracken County state trooper.

Jim was interested in exploring his own opportunities with creating his own fund and we're fully supportive of that.

Jim was in his element that day. He was a fantastic choreographer of words and he wanted us to pretend we were the SAS on a raid. We were to go in there, shoot 'em up, grab their beer and women and then bugger off. And that, of course, is basically what we did.

Jim was his effusive self. We talked about Romania, where Jim was selling shopping center sites.

Jim was brought in to make the changes that needed to be made schematically, emotionally, strategically and fundamentally for us to go forward in conjunction with some very good coaches. They collectively and Jim individually deserve all the credit for the improvements that we've seen. We've got a lot of work ahead of us.

Jim was apologetic and understanding, but he also came right out and explained every part of why they weren't keeping me, ... And, you know, that's something I saw all through camp. He was always talking to players, letting them know where they stand. I appreciated that. You always want the manager to be up front with you.

Jim was a jokester, a great guy and a private pilot. He took flying seriously, that was his passion.

Jim was actually born in what is now our computer room.

Jim was a brilliant man who brought tremendous leadership, energy and passion to his job. He made an indelible mark on McDonald's system.

Jim Vincent, when he had this problem, was near our building, and there were other people on the ground, and he did everything he could to get the aircraft away from the building and crash it where it crashed so that he wouldn't hurt anybody.

Jim Tracy is going to have some leverage this winter because there are going to be a number of openings,

Jim Tracy has been a passionate and valued member of the Dodger organization. I have an extremely high regard for him professionally and personally,

Jim Tracy has a history of using all of his players. I know I'm going to get my chances to help this club.

Jim Tracey is a quality baseball man with a vast knowledge of the game. He will work on fundamentals with our ball players and get the most out of them.

Jim thought 'world headquarters' implied a pretentiousness that wasn't appropriate.

I think in this tournament, they've been able to inspire a lot of different people, people that maybe are really, really in need. I heard Jim talk about some stories of some people and the letters he's gotten. To me, that's what his team has been all about.

It basically breaks down that Jim Calhoun knows how to get the super athlete to play for him. When their men?s and women?s programs play, the entire state of Connecticut shuts down. They are considered the pro teams of Connecticut. Calhoun has a track record of recruiting and he maintains it.

I think the past three years Jim Beattie has been leading the effort with strong assistance from Mike. Now it will be Mike's chance. I think Mike is very capable and a very bright guy who certainly is adequate to perform the job.

I think Worcester might be the front-runner. They beat Milford, 3-0. I talked to JK (Worcester coach Jim Kenyon) and he said his girls played really well and stepped to the ball.

Last fall I finished a biography of Jim Lane and that has been accepted by Pelican and will be out in the future. He was the leader of the free state movement during the Bleeding Kansas era and was one of Kansas? first two senators. Missouri history buffs might remember him and his Lane Brigade as the ones who participated in the burning of Osceola.

I was concerned with him losing attendance, because of the conflict of me doing my show, ... So I told him I would lend my name to the benefit, so we could advertise it as 'Kenny Loggins with Jim Messina Sitting In.'

I was comfortable that Jim Tracy was an excellent choice. I'm confident, from having worked with the guy for five or six years, that he's a very good communicator, he understands the game well, he has lots of experience as a Major League and Minor League manager, and he's won.

I thought the Jim Dandy was a breakthrough performance for him. Any time you dominate a race like that I think it's a pretty big deal.

I think we've stayed fairly consistent in our approach. We play the same system in Manchester. Bruce Boudreau coached there for seven years there and coached the way we like to coach up here. And now that Jim Hughes is (there), he's doing the same thing.

I think what's striking here with both of these companies is that neither of them had any track record of supporting Jim Doyle until they got state business. It certainly creates suspicion about the decision to give these contracts to these companies.

I think what he brings is attitude. I think he's a winner. I've known him for years and I talked to a lot of players who played for him. He loves to win, and he likes to see everything the right way in the field. And that's what we need on the team. If he doesn't like something, he'll come to us or to the player and tell him. It's great for us to have Jim and the coaching staff.

I think it was an awesome team effort, ... We helped bring it all together, but the credit really goes to Jim Dodson and the generals and other retired military officials who formed the strategic think tank to save Eielson.

I think its really disappointing. Jim Thome did a lot of good things for this town. It was kind of embarrassing. I was really surprised.

I think we are going to move hastily to get this done. I had a long talk with Jim Armstrong today on the addition of the senior center to the community center,

I went and looked at all Mark's work. He can get huge laughs and not imitate Jim Carrey. The bonus is the emotional reality of Mark. It's a given that he'd be there in a crunch for his leading lady.

I went to church and Jim and his wife, Liz, went to see the home.

I was 10, and I played Jim Hawkins in 'Treasure Island' at school, and this great Liverpudlian actor called Andrew Schofield - he was Johnny Rotten in 'Sid And Nancy' - came to watch it, and he had a word with my mum and dad afterwards and told them I should have a go at the Everyman youth theatre. I've never looked back.

I went to Hersey Hawkins and Jim Les basketball camp when I was in grade school. I've heard stories. Never on this level have I heard the amount of volume that's been going around Peoria and the buzz.

It is also somewhat sexist to think that she has to stop her career so Jim can be governor. What if (Democratic candidate) Dina Titus is elected governor? Will her husband give up his career as a college professor to become the first man?

I think there's always a concern you have with very successful people moving on. But at the same time, one of the things I hear from Jim all the time is about his vision and how much he likes it here. That's why I always thought we would get something done.

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.

Jim Mora has an idea of what he can and cannot do... He has a firsthand knowledge of that, regardless of what he has seen on tape... He's seen him day-to-day for years. I think it goes back to them and how they want to play him. We'll play him the same way we usually do within the system.

Jim McLean is one of golf's luminaries and his schools are known around the world. His Legends on the Niagara school will bring deserved profile to Niagara as a golf destination.

Jim McCarthy is an elected official, last time I checked. The Humane Commission makes the group adequately transparent, which is what council said it wants.

Jim loves Pennsylvania and his record proves it. He's spent a lifetime solving tough problems in both the public and private sectors and has built a reputation of results.

Jim Longenbach, poet, critic, and my husband, is always passing along life-changing books for me to read.

Jim Leyland, in my career, has been the best manager at running his bullpen. He's been the best manager at going out in the outfield and asking his pitchers how they're feeling every day and not having the pitching coach worry about it.

Jim Les has done a wonderful job with the program ... I really have a feeling Bradley is going to be a factor in the NCAA tournament for the next 20 years just because of this selection.

Jim Leininger has fought long odds for more than a decade in trying to win better educational choices for inner-city youth. Tonight was just one more part of his long-term goal of saving lost children.

Jim Leflore just wouldn't be moved. I thought that Shaun Doherty and Phil Morrison were outstanding defensively, and Phil Aiello came up with his second interception in two games.

Jim jumped well and will continue to improve. Jim needs no motivation. He motivates himself enough.

Jim Joel, Lord Howard de Walden, Nicky Phillips and Mrs Doris Allen were very hard to replace. The times are changing and we're moving with it. We're getting up back up there.

Jim Jackson has been a solid player for many years in the NBA and we feel he'll be a good addition to our team. Being such a young team, he gives us veteran savvy as well as the ability to play multiple positions.

Jim is tenacious, a very capable guy. He doesn't have all the strengths of his dad, and he doesn't have the weaknesses of his dad.

Jim is really going to be helping us expand the footprint. We don't need a peacemaker internally.

Jim is one of the hardest working general managers in the game and I have every confidence that he will improve our team this off-season while continuing to build a solid foundation that will yield a perennial winning franchise worthy of the great city of Washington.

Jim is kind of the constant to photography in Denver, on a lot of levels. He's a historical archive.

Jim is in the same boat as me in that hopefully he'll be fit in time for pre-season training. It's really disappointing news.

Jim is first, last and always a gentleman,

Jim is considered one of the top line coaches in the business. We are excited to have him return to UCLA. He has a wealth of experience at both the collegiate and professional levels and has enjoyed success throughout his career.

Jim is a real honest guy. I knew I deserved to be on the team, but I couldn't be mad because he was honest about the situation. You don't always find people like that in baseball. He's just a really decent person.

Jim is a perfect fit for this role. His exceptional experience and leadership are highly regarded within the industry and we know he'll continue to contribute significantly to the success of the group.

Jim is an outstanding baseball player. He's a consummate baseball player. He's not real big, he's not very flashy, but he knows how to play the game. He's very analytical. He's a smart baseball player and he's got a bright future.

Jim is an extremely talented banker with more than 15 years of experience in the energy sector. He will be a great asset to our team, and together with Mitch will provide our clients with outstanding advice and execution.

Jim is a likable guy. He is a man of compassion. He is not a pushy fellow. Jim is trying his best to make a living.

Jim is a guy who played a long time in the big leagues. Every day he had to battle to fight for every hit he got. I like that, guys who have battled through adversity.
