Miami Quotations | Page 4

It's burning me inside right now that I had to lose the football game. I even lost the last game of my Miami career, and I really hate losing.

It'll be very competitive. Miami and Eastern could be favored over us.

It's huge game. Both teams are great teams, but hopefully Miami will pull it off. It (basketball) is becoming really big. It's hard to compete with these schools with football, but I think basketball is going to be even bigger in a few years.

It was a big win for us. We have Miami coming in on Wednesday, and we lost two in a row.

It was my first time playing in front of my friends and family, so I was very nervous. I didn't know anyone in the audience at the Miami gigs, so it wasn't so bad.

It was a good win for us. To come back, especially after a tough loss against Miami (Sunday) and playing a team that beat us a couple weeks ago. We came out focused today and took care of business.

They are just on fire. They beat Miami and Detroit so they are probably the hottest team in the league right now since New Jersey lost their winning streak. People were counting them out and I believe they can make the playoffs.

They've won some games but ... they're just beating up on bad teams, basically. It's not often that you all of a sudden see teams start beating good teams in the playoffs when they haven't done it all season. There is little reason to believe Miami can win the whole thing.

Against Miami (in the opener), you could kind of see it on his face,

That's between the University of Miami and the conference. They're probably going to say, 'Hey, what do you want to do?' But it won't make a lick of difference what we say.

The kids got to play against teams from all over the country, from Portland to Miami and L.A. to Vermont. They were always willing to hop in the van and head out to play.

The Miami relatives rejected our efforts (to reunite Elian with his father), leaving us no other option but the enforcement action,

The Miami economy is the strongest it has been in my memory as a professional economist, which goes back 22 years. International trade is booming. Population growth is strong. And all that growth is creating tremendous demand for services.

Their whole defense is fast and they get to the ball. They are right up there with Miami and Penn State among the teams we played. When we had our chances to capitalize, we didn't.

The family in Miami thinks the issue is that (under) the asylum laws in this country, any alien, regardless of age, has the right to apply for asylum and the INS has the obligation to adjudicate the case.

The fans want to see a good product. This is a young organization - it hasn't been around 50 years like others. It's going to take time for the Miami area to build up a huge fan base.

I kept thinking about it. I was nervous and I had butterflies in my stomach. It was a real difficult decision. I was rooting for Miami my whole life, but I wanted something different. I wanted to go away.

I just wish we could get through to people that picking up a Salvadoran general in Miami and telling him he has to retire in Costa Rica is not a punishment. Yeah, you're evil, but you can go be evil somewhere else.

I'm actually Cuban-born, born in 1956, the year Fidel Castro came into power, and my father moved my family to Miami a few years later when things were starting to look bad.

I'm a big Steve Nash fan, have been since he's been in the league. I wanted to play with AmarŽ (Stoudemire) and Jimmy (Jackson, a Miami teammate). It was the fit and the opportunity to be alongside Kurt Thomas and AmarŽ. They made a great run, especially during the regular season. It definitely helped to have a great chance of getting out of the West and making a championship run.

I love going outdoors. I have a tent and go out with my friends camping and then we go canoeing down the Little Miami River. We make a weekend out of it and it is a lot of fun.

I'm sure it's going to be crazy, ... But last year, we opened at Michigan in front of 110,000, we've been at Miami during their national championship season, we play at Oregon -- we're used to playing in some tough atmospheres.

Indian Wells was missing 10 of the top 15 players. And Miami (which is a mandatory tournament) missed some players.

In college, there are two or three Saturdays that you can just show up, whether it's Florida playing Vanderbilt or Miami playing Rutgers, and you're going to win. Sundays in this league are like playing Florida and Florida State every week. A two-and-seven team can be as good as anybody you'll play.

In Miami, the weather was beautiful and sunny with palm trees everywhere. I was surrounded by snow and icy weather in Buffalo the next day. I couldn't believe the difference. ... I know I can handle the snow if I end up in Buffalo or Detroit, but I do have to say, the warm and sunny weather in Miami was a welcome sight.

I liked (Ole Miss') coaches. They were great and they just got the offensive coordinator from Miami (Dan Werner). That's a big plus because Miami had a pretty good team. And none of the receivers that caught balls last year are coming back.

I'm really looking forward to coming to Miami because I want to see if they're for real.

I'm looking forward to being able to come to Miami and help my friend and Chicago co-star Robin Givens raise money for the Greater Miami Tennis Foundation.

I'm from Miami Children's. I have a helicopter.

I'm the head football coach of the University of Miami and I want to certainly take responsibility for the poor play this evening. LSU did an outstanding job and met their part of the bargain. They showed up. We didn't respond.

I'm not sure we want a Miami airport in Broward County. I'm pro-growth, but smart growth.

I lived in Miami before coming here, and you can just see how the beaches became condo canyons. There's always another deal.

If you look at the playoff picture right now, I don't think a lot of people really thought Miami was going to beat Indianapolis, because Indianapolis has the big offense,

If you look at NASCAR like it's a consumer product, you always talk about national distribution. Literally within the last dozen years or so, NASCAR has come to L.A., Chicago, Detroit, Kansas City, Las Vegas, Miami and New Hampshire. The objective of that plan was to bring in new fans and attract more people to the sport, to market to the widest possible audience.

In talking with Miami officials it was evident that lights in the Orange Bowl would not be available, ... and consequently a 3:30 start on Saturday was simply not workable.

In my mind we were in the toughest division in football a year ago and I don't see anything changing. There's a new staff in Miami so it's just a matter of time before they get things rolling, and you have three other teams that are playoff-caliber teams, so I don't know if you can find a tougher division.

I just think to try to put Miami in a 13-week season, our schedule is tough enough as it is. If there are 14 weeks, that gives you another open date to play with there. That's why we did it. I think the series is good for the state, and so does Paul Dee. But it's just not a series that's going to work out on a regular basis.

I remember going down to Miami for our playoff game and I swear it sounded like there was just as many Patriots fans as Dolphins fans there. It was nutty. That was a wonderful experience for a player. The current Patriots are going through it constantly. We'd never experienced it.

I remember arriving in Miami and watching television that night. They showed the Packers arriving and Vince Lombardi and Bart Starr getting off the plane. Then the guy says, 'The Oklahoma Raiders' plane has also arrived.' The host city wasn't even sure where the other team was from.

I have talked to people across the country struggling in the face of an altered climate. New Jersey homeowners are trying to rebuild after Superstorm Sandy. Miami government officials are trying to plan for rising seas and flooded streets. California farmers are trying to make it through the state's worst drought on record.

I hitchhiked to Miami in 1953, and there were oranges laying on the road, black shantytowns, and marinas with nice boats. The museums were virtually empty.

Being at Miami has definitely helped in my coaching skills. I had the opportunity of a lifetime and tried to learn as much as possible about the game.

But, I think it is possible. I'm waiting for my aunt in Miami to explain more to us.

He's on the plane. He has medical treatment arranged in Miami so he should be getting to the hospital soon.

I don't really feel Miami did anything to us. We just didn't win.

Chicago's speed and their pick-and-roll has given Miami trouble in the past. At the end of the day though, size will win out and that will favor Miami.

My wife and I are living large in our beloved Miami and I'm working on the things that are important to me.

The Miami Beach audience is the greatest audience in the world.

No money, no family, 16 in the middle of Miami.

Miami's never been more than a spit from New York.

I can't speak in general, but I know I would rather play Miami and Kent State and Akron at home instead of on the road. Obviously, on paper, the East is pretty good. They have a lot of veterans.

I couldn't stay there. I still find Miami very hard, because from my dock I can see the hospital. I can't stand there and look at it.

I believe I was a part of it because I was there every day. It was just a great feeling. We were down in Miami and people just know who you are; they don't even know you.

I don't want to knock Ben or anything, but I feel a lot better this week than I did before that Miami game last year. Charlie's a veteran. He's played in this league. It's not like we're taking someone off the street.

Heading into the playoffs, the Bulls' defense received well-deserved raves. But in the first two games of the first-round series with the Miami Heat, the Bulls' defense experienced about as much success as an ice cube in the South Florida sun.

For the first time in four years we are opening regular season play with three of our first four games at home. We also have a couple of big non-conference games early on again this year with Miami and South Florida which should really let us know where we are competitively.

As good as Miami is, we'd rather go to Miami.

I will never play for the Miami Heat.

Only audiences decide what's a franchise. Only audiences decide what's a hit. I have always been mindful of not wanting to be the Miami Heat of movies.

The French like burgers, Madonna and Miami Vice.

More than 10,000 ballots in Miami-Dade County have been rejected by some machine without any opportunity for a human being to take a look. That is just not right.

You can only do what your players can execute and have time to comprehend and learn, ... So for me to think we're going to do a lot of the things we're able to do with the Miami Dolphins defense is unrealistic. And it's the same thing Charlie is going through.

The ultra-high-end spa is an urban trend in Los Angeles, Miami and New York,

This home is truly one-of-a-kind. It is a home for someone who wants a grand estate with historical significance, but also wants to be able to turn the corner and have the excitement and culture of Miami at their fingertips.

The flexibility of our products makes them the perfect choice for use in this installation. By working together with ATC International to modify our product for use with RFID technology, we've created a unique solution to Miami Dade's requirements.

The guys have great resolve. We got in from the Miami game at 3 a.m. and had a great practice the next day. If we could shoot the ball, we'd be better.

The Hispanic culture is finding its way into the American culture. Places like Miami are going to be centers for that influence - places like Los Angeles and, certainly, cities in Texas.

The four games we've played with Miami this season have all been determined in the last five minutes. That's a positive sign.

The first thing we have to do is prioritize Florida State. I'm not even thinking about Miami or who's even on Sunday. I think we learned from the N.C. State match that we need to take it one at a time. The first part of preparing for this weekend is respecting Florida State and their desire to come here and beat us.

Coming from the University of Miami, I developed really good study habits.

The difference between the Patriots and those Steelers teams is that there were other great teams in the AFC back then, like Miami and Oakland,

Why can't DFW compete like San Francisco does with Oakland, like Miami does with Fort Lauderdale, and like Chicago O'Hare does with Midway?

180 episodes of 'CSI: Miami' and never the same lipstick twice!

It happened in Miami, in Coral Gables, a great big ol' Cuban wedding. It was pretty intense.

I dont like Miami that much. I dont like the weather. My base is Miami, but I travel a lot.

In life there are worse things (then being fired by the Miami Marlins) and I have experienced them. I have lived through bad moments and I will get through this with support.

I tried the religion scam in Miami, so I know how hard that gig is. But, if you can get it to work, starting your own religion is a license to print money.
