Miami Quotations | Page 3

We've created a tremendous amount of excitement, ... Miami is becoming a major destination, a major capital, particularly as it relates to Latin America.

We've come out trying to run the ball. The second ballgame (against I-AA the Citadel), we came out throwing because we thought we were superior and we could do what we wanted to. Now, when you're playing Syracuse and you're playing Miami and you're playing Boston College, you better do what's best. I felt like sooner or later, we're going to have to come out throwing the darn ball, and that's what our offensive staff wanted to do.

Those 224 companies operate more than 4,700 facilities in Boston, Miami and Seattle alone,

This trip, you've got to do a lot of PR work for the league, pump up that Miami game on Christmas Day because they're asking you to do this all the time. And don't forget, Orlando is just as important in the win-loss column.

When you have to come to work every day and see them on the wall, you realize the people that have been here. Everybody knows Miami as the Cradle of Coaches.

When you look around the world and you consider the factors of the environment, climate, amenities, risk and appreciation, Miami ranks way high up there.

When I went up that hill and saw the campus, I fell in love. I knew that it was what college was supposed to look like. I had a great experience there and I love Miami a lot.

We've played Miami when they've had some of the top-ranked defenses in the country. This is the best defense we've seen, period.

We want to win our division. It's been awhile, and we want to play at home in the playoffs. You can't do that until late in December when those crunch-time games come. So for right now, we've got to focus on Miami and get off to a good start.

Both of us were in Miami to do different jobs. This would have been over six years ago. I saw her walking through an open-air mall called Lincoln Road. And she did this very strange thing where she turned sideways and looked at a storefront window and hopped like rabbit over to it.

The government will dismiss the remaining counts of the Miami indictment at the time of sentencing and will also recommend that the sentence imposed in the Miami case run concurrently to any sentence imposed as a result of charges filed today in the District of Columbia.

We've been on a roll. We can swing the bat like that. In a Miami tournament, I think we had 51 hits in four games. We're capable. Tonight they got some good pitches, and they took advantage of it.

We've been looking forward to Miami and this opening game all off-season. It's what we talk about. So let's get down there in the heat and see what happens. But we'll be ready to go, I'll guarantee you that.

While we generally don't preannounce our quarterly results, given yesterday's market volatility and given the fact that our Miami corporate office was closed and management was inaccessible because of Hurricane Rita, we felt it prudent to preannounce our third quarter results,

While waiting here for his son to be returned to him, he has been forced to watch Elian exploited by those who have him in their care. On the morning shows on national television, in the streets of Miami and now most recently in a videotape taken of Elian in his own bedroom,

We've had such a tough time this year in the third quarter, but we won the third quarter in Orlando and Miami and we won it again tonight. They did what they were going to do and made a run back at us. Finally, we planted our feet, defined ourselves, and got the stops we needed.

Up until the last, we tried every way we could to encourage Lazaro Gonzalez to voluntarily hand over the child to his father, ... Unfortunately, the Miami relatives rejected our efforts, leaving us no other option but the enforcement action.

This was evidenced when I went to Andrews Air Force Base just hours after the operation and saw a safe Elian with his arms wrapped tightly around the neck of his beaming father emerge from the airplane on which he had flown from Miami to Washington,

We flew to Miami and then chartered a plane here to be on time. I'm really excited, I'm proud of him. I'm happy that people like him the way he is.

We were one game away from playing Miami for the national championship.

To have Miami in there now, just the name alone kind of changes what people think of the ACC when it comes to football.

We weren't supposed to make it here in time for the game but we flew to Miami and chartered a plane to be here on time.

We were outplayed in a number of areas today. We know Miami can run the football and we have a great deal of respect for Ricky (Williams). But, we never expected them to do that to our defense, especially when we were in some must stop situations.

When all factors were weighed, it was collectively decided that playing next year's game versus Miami on Labor Day night was in the best interest of all parties concerned. Miami never had the opportunity to host the game on that day and the viewership and exposure for the ACC and both universities from our game 10 days ago was exceptional.

We lost a lot of players to injuries. We lost three starting offensive linemen. That's tough. Our lack of experience with the younger guys playing caught up with us. We beat Miami the first game and everybody was talking about how great we were. But we had some weaknesses and we've been exposed.

You do want to try to steal a couple on the road and you've got to try to take care of your home court. We dropped two of those at home against a very good Akron and Miami (Ohio) team, so we've got to make up for those on the road.

This single act, for which she has expressed genuine remorse, did not occur in the course of her duties or responsibilities as a journalist. As a result, this isn't an issue in which The Miami Herald needs to become involved.

To be honest with you, I don't even think about it much, ... I haven't with Kansas City because I grew up in Kansas. That was my boyhood team. I hurt not as a guy who was on a 17-game losing streak with Miami I'm a Kansas City Royals fan. I can't admit that. You're the first one I've admitted it to.

Even though it was a negative thing that happened, I wasn't feeling too bad, 'cause a positive thing came out of it, ... I don't fault Miami for anything; I'm just here at Rutgers, at home, where I'm happy.

Eastern Michigan is one of the favorites in the conference to compete against Miami for the MAC title. EMU has some of the top freestyle swimmers and top divers in the conference and this should tell us where we stand going into the last couple of weeks of the season.

Being swept by Miami was kind of an eye-opener. It shouldn't have been as easy for him to do what he did, especially without Shaq out there. But there he was, doing whatever he wanted to against us. That kind of stuff can't happen.

Beating Miami was the biggest win I've been a part of here. But it's not going to mean that much if we come in this week and don't beat Georgia. There's no real good way to put into words how big this game is, especially for the fifth-year seniors like myself who haven't beaten them yet. We don't want to say that we never beat Georgia.

At the end of the day I thought Miami just played really well, I really did. I thought Miami came out to play well, they hit their shots and we didn't have the game in control.

Downtown areas are evolving and becoming places people want to live, work, and play once again. As a company, we have participated in this phenomenon, first in Atlanta, and now in Denver, Miami and Orlando. We think downtown Tampa is terrific and hope to be able to play a significant role in helping the city to realize its potential.

And you know, Doc Cheatham could play saxophone too. A lot of people don't know about that. There's also someone down at the University of Miami who made a big-band recording in which he played all the parts, except for the drums.

(Erickson) and coach Lubick coached together in Miami before, and that is part of the reason why I chose to come here,

Even after Florida, FSU and Miami take theirs, you still have an abundance of talent right here,

Flamingo is the premier Miami condominium community because, quite frankly, there is nothing like it available anywhere else. It simply exudes the South Beach vibe, which is why interest is already at a fever pitch and reservations are in huge demand.

Every year travelers ask us for recommendations on restaurants, nightclubs, cafes and spas in Miami Beach, but the one request we receive most often concerns hotels,

The tradition at Miami is not to play in a BCS game, but to play in the national championship game. When we don't do that, we're not living up to the tradition that's been set for us.

They always call Miami Tight End U. We've got to change it to Cincinnati being Tight End U.

There you are, Sammy. Make sure your girlfriend in Miami gets a copy.

The schedule is something we wanted to address. We think with the addition of Miami (Fla.) and some other changes we made to our mid-week opponents, we have taken steps in the right direction. We will always try and play the best teams in the nation during the non-conference portion of our schedule to better prepare us for Big Ten play and beyond.

These economies are doing well and weathered the recession well. And in Miami and L.A. the housing booms happened later than other parts of the country.

The template for success in the NBA changed from the Portland model of 1999-2000, when I got to the league, to the Detroit, San Antonio, Miami model. Although we have succeeded on the court to the point of five straight 50-plus win seasons, we certainly didn't do it 'the best way.' We did it the most expensive way. It cost us flexibility and created lots of bad habits. That was my mistake, and it ended up costing us Mike (Finley).

The thing that's really cool for me about Miami Beach is you have this dichotomy between sunlight and family and happiness and innocence and then at night, darker, stranger mob conspiracy stuff sort of comes out. It seems like a storytelling engine. You can just keep writing about how those two worlds smash into each other.

I've never gone 3-for-10 and it's a little frustrating because the shots I missed were relatively easy ones. Maybe I got hit by the Miami sun.

I've always admired Coach Shula. I thought I'd be drafted a little sooner, but now I'm happy I wasn't and Miami was around to pick me.

Right now, we're up against one of the hottest teams in the league. Miami is playing as good as anybody, and they've played very well lately, at home and on the road....We have our hands full.

Right now we're not executing. I'm not sure if it's because New England is used to playing against a similar defense with Miami being in their conference. We weren't executing and they were. I see why they're Super Bowl champs.

Right now, we're chasing something bigger than Miami or anybody else. Right now, we're having a lot of fun. We have a nice streak going. We've got an opportunity to do something special.

Sales at the 2006 Miami show exceeded our company's all-time performance by 40 percent. We attribute these results to the hard work and training of our international and domestic sales teams, and we expect the orders taken at the Miami show to help our company achieve its third and fourth quarter sales and profit objectives.

Ray looks awful. Ray is not good. You could just look at him and tell he's sick without asking. We've got to get him to Miami and get him to bed and see if we can't get him ready to play (today).

Our thoughts and prayers are with the student-athletes and people in the Miami area.

The mouth of the Miami River would have been a preferred place to be if you were a prehistoric hunter and gatherer.

Some folks like to get awayTake a holiday from the neighborhoodHop a flight to Miami BeachOr to HollywoodBut I'm talking a GreyhoundOn the Hudson River LineI'm in a New York state of mind.

The bottom line is, it has basically disrupted or stopped the traffic flowing from Latin America into North America. Miami is a major point, and this is a major disruption.

The big thing, ... is what these kids are all made out of. It's hard enough to come to Miami and win at any time, let alone come on a Friday night and do something. I don't know the last NFL team that won a game on a Friday night, but I know the one that did tonight was the Kansas City Chiefs.

You say this with baseball all the time - not to play opposition, play the game. That's the key for us. Miami is kind of out of the equation. It's us. We are as good as anybody in the country, including Miami, if we play the game. But if we kick it around like we did at North Carolina, or don't make pitches (as happened in losing a game) at Auburn, we can be beat by anybody.

You're kidding. I didn't even get a T-shirt. They won't even give me a ticket to the Video Music Awards in Miami in a couple of weeks.

You might as well get used to this. There's some new people in town and y'all got to hopefully welcome us with open arms. I'm not talking about just BC, but you've got Miami and Virginia Tech. So this league has evolved and hopefully we bring some credibility to it, and people would appreciate the quality of basketball that we're playing and those other new schools are playing.

This is going to be the best defense that Miami has ever had. We were all able to play last year and get some experience.

This (defamation) suit creates an opportunity to publicly litigate the claims even though the Archdiocese of Miami already settled the lawsuits.

They (the braces) work a lot. Last year, I got somebody thrown into me at the Miami game. I was back on the field a couple of plays later. Those braces are definitely a big thing, and I'm glad the coaches encourage us to put them on.

They've been doing that all week in practice. In the Miami game, we told them to be calm and it would be there for them. Tonight it was.

They trying to change the game on them, ... A lot of people have done movies in Miami, and movies in MIA are real bright. Movies in Miami are yellow and red and green. He's shooting a lot at night, trying to make it hot.

They (the allegations) are lies, totally. They (the Miami family) are describing me that way to keep the child, nothing else.

The year we beat Miami in the Super Bowl, ... do you know how many defensive linemen were in our rotation? Nine, and we used them all quite a bit. We just wore the Dolphins out.

They are the rare team that has three great players. Most teams have two - except Miami maybe has 2 1/2 with Shaq and Wade.

This Miami team has a long way to go if they want to get back to the Eastern Conference finals.

There was a song at the end of last night's CSI Miami show. Do you know the artist's name and title of the song?

There was no excuse for it. We'd run the ball great throughout training camp and the preseason until the Miami game.

This little kid who was found abandoned in the ocean brought a face to the people who were in Miami -- a face that showed hatred, a face that showed ignorance, a face that showed they had no respect at all for the things that Americans believed in,

They're a great team, and one of the best things about baseball is that you never know what's going to happen during a game. We're going to play this game just like we would against Miami or Florida State.

A Caribbean-style shirt in Miami is not going to fly in Nebraska.

It's exciting. I love to play Miami on New Year's. Why not? It's better than playing somewhere else. I'm going to have a lot of friends coming to the game. I think we're all excited for the game.

It seems like the family in Miami will just want to drag this on.

It's a way of life, and they're very adaptable. We felt like going to Miami was going to be temporary. We didn't know it was going to be this quick, though.

It is very good news because we did get the report last week that he was very critical. There has been a community outcry here in Miami to have the prime minister of Haiti free him so he could get adequate care.

I truly believe that was one of the great things that helped the University of Miami program achieve a lot of the things that they did - the enormous national exposure.

It's a great thing in recruiting, playing our first game on national television at a time when there is no other game. But I don't know if this game can get much bigger. Florida State and Miami kind of speaks for itself. Guys know if they want to be famous just make a big play in this game.

Foreign buyers started considering Argentina when we devalued our currency and property values dropped 40 percent. Those values have only just recovered to 1997 levels, and with airfare from Miami only $700 round-trip, we are drawing in a lot of Florida investors.

For a lot of us, Miami is a place where there's potential to really stand out in your field, as opposed to places like D.C. and Atlanta, where you would be just be one of many.

Football is a big deal at Miami. They play a tremendous schedule. If you're taking a look at somebody -- if he can play at Miami and be that kind of a guy and a leader there, then chances are he's going to be successful up here, too.

It's the busiest in my memory, and I've been around 50 years. It reminds me of my childhood years growing up in the Miami area. Hurricanes were a rite of passage.

It's the most important cultural weekend, maybe in the country. The Art Basel Fair and Art Basel Miami has transformed into this amazing series of cultural events to coincide with the art fair and so everyone's in town and it's a perfect moment to display it.

It looks like the suspect was upset that his wife had left him on Sunday. He knew she was having an affair with the victim. Within the next two days he had flown to Miami and rented a car.

It should be noted that Miami and south Florida continue to be our first choice. But the reality is we don't have a deal there because our lease expires after 2010.

It should be a very good game. hopefully we can carry our form from the practice game against Miami FC.

It's scary. It's very scary. Andrew hit Miami in the middle of the night and it was haunting. This is as strong and three times bigger.

You think about the guys who have been there the whole time and really defined the Miami Dolphins' defense... you think about Zach (Thomas), you think about Jason (Taylor) and you think about Sam. Sam was such a perfect fit under the press-and-go system under Jimmy. He was a guy that, just by his presence, made quarterbacks throw the other way.

The northern part of the state is very much like a Deep South state. Obviously, the Miami area is an international area.

The No. 1 ranking gives us confidence, but we need confidence from being battle tested. Miami is sure to do that.

That means he's going places to help people. You don't use them to take the family to Miami Beach for the weekend. You use them to do events for people that otherwise wouldn't be possible. Flying commercially to places like Helena or Grand Forks would take the better part of a day.

That put pressure on places like San Juan, and Miami to a degree.

Everyone is trying to dodge certain teams. No one wants to play a Detroit or a Miami in the first round because they want to get to the second round.

The best thing would be if the relatives in Miami ... would recognize that it would be in Elian's best interest and the family's best interest if there could be some kind of civilized and orderly unforced transfer of custody and they could work it out with the father,

The best thing that we can do for ourselves is take care of Miami and then move on to whatever's after that.

The best way to disrespect somebody is to just walk away from them. But that is the show business part of what we have to deal with, and to me it's wrong. It's a bad example for young people to see and it's not the kind of character and attitude that we want our players to represent this organization in, our owner, the Miami Dolphins ... or the people on the team who all have to suffer because of that.
