Ronnie Quotations

You listen to Black Sabbath with Ronnie James Dio in it, and it's not Black Sabbath. They should have just called it 'Heaven and Hell' right from the beginning. Because you listen to that 'Heaven and Hell' album, that doesn't sound anything close to Black Sabbath.

Jo left me a few months ago for 10 days. I get this note: I'll come back when the real Ronnie comes back.

At its best, Purple Ronnie puts little thoughts out there, on very high-volume selling items, that people use to make very personal connections with one another. And I'm actually very proud of that.

Most recently we've been working in concert situations rather than clubs. because there aren't too many rooms there like Ronnie Scott's, that are pure music rooms, where people come specifically to listen to music.

I met a zillion people through Ronnie Wood. He's been my friend since he was in The Faces, and he's still my best friend. A real person, earthy, working 24 hours a day, uplifting to be around, and he's still got that fire about music.

'Human' was controversial within The Killers way before it was controversial to the rest of the world! It caused some problems within the band. Not to throw anybody under the bus, but it was pretty much me and Dave against Mark and Ronnie for a little while. We were standing up for the song.

We believe that Ronnie Earle is a politically vindictive district attorney, ... He's pursuing Jim Ellis because he works for Tom DeLay.

Working with Ronnie was always a joy and were without doubt some of the best years of my career. The world of entertainment has lost a huge talent.

This probably is a smart thing. Ronnie wants to play in the NBA, and this rule is made for guys like him. He wants to find out exactly where he is. We all support him. He'll continue to work toward his education.

We're glad this is over with. We wanted to be patient with this one because Ronnie is a heck of a player and someone's always going to take a chance on someone like that.

Maybe this was not the right team for a guy like Ronnie. Really, Ronnie couldn't get out from under it and I hope he does in Sacramento because everyone needs a fresh start.

Now Ronnie Earle has what he was after, which was a mug shot.

Now Ronnie Earle has the mug shot he wanted.

I would have told you a month ago we'd be in trial by now, but that was before Ronnie Earle pulled his shenanigans with his frivolous appeals.

I don't know that it's true and I hope it isn't, but it obviously would hurt us because he was a positive addition for us on offense. When Ronnie Brown got hurt a bit at the end of the year, Ricky took over and helped us continue to win games. He's a good player for us and big in our success. It would hurt not to have him.

I believe that I acted properly in carrying out my duties as a member of the Senate in relation to Judge Ronnie White,

From what I gather, Ronnie is going to be allowed to go full-go this week. If that is the case, I think there is a very good chance that he will be playing on Saturday versus Louisville.

If anything, I've probably gone too far with Ronnie because I felt like he was going to learn how to do things. At that point, which I thought was true, that as long as he was here, anything he did would get blown up and affect his teammates and affect everybody.

From the time I have been here, I can't remember us ever winning whenever Ronnie had a milestone.

For too long Tom DeLay has been the subject of a partisan witch hunt by Ronnie Earle and the media that has ultimately led to a distorted public image of assumed guilt.

He's got what he wanted. There's no reason for this. It was pure retaliation on the part of Ronnie Earle. There he is. Take a good look at him.

He was clearly frustrated. Ronnie thinks if we lose, we would have won the game if he had the ball every time. The offense bogs down at times, but it's still a great offense. He held the ball a lot of times. Nothing frustrated me more than him not rebounding, but I didn't go out in the public and say anything.

He did struggle. We certainly needed all of our perimeter players to play well and I thought it hurt us when Dion (Harris) got the two fouls (early). ... That probably forced some other guys to step up their production on the perimeter and it wasn't there. I thought Ronnie was right in the middle of that.

He's been a really solid player. His receiving skills have improved. He could play a little bit of a Ronnie Brown role, but I don't know that he would exclusively do that role.

He wants to play in the NBA. He knows that's a big part of his future. In order to do that the rule was specifically made for guys like him, guys who aren't really considered in that realm of a first-round draft pick. Ronnie is going to make sure he doesn't do anything to jeopardize his ability.

I would stop short of saying that Ronnie was 100 percent, but he did do everything in practice. Those decisions will be made on a day-to-day basis.

I talk to Ronnie two or three times a week,

I thought Ronnie struggled. At times he went away from what we were doing as a team and that disappointed me.

I think what happened to Ronnie White in the United states Senate was disgraceful,

It is important because it shows what Ronnie Earle is doing. He's just using the claimed authority of his office to bully people around.

I was just trying to get guys involved and work against their zone. Dion and Ronnie were really knocking down shots, and we wanted to get them the ball.

I think enough is enough. I think Ronnie will do fine, but not here.

I said from the first day I saw the indictment that Ronnie Earle was charging a crime that didn't exist. And the 3rd Court of Appeals unanimously agreed with me.

Over the last four, five years, you've seen some of the things, and maybe we did bend over too much for Ronnie to try to help him. But I can sleep good at night, knowing we did the best we could.

My way has always been to try to support players. If anything, I've probably gone too far with Ronnie because I felt like he was going to learn how to do things.

Matt has abilities that Ronnie didn't have and Ronnie has abilities that (Matt) didn't have and we're going to have to play to his abilities. We have to do the things we're capable of doing, and there's some things offensively we are capable of doing, but we've got to be able to execute.

I think Ronnie is a guy who acts first and thinks later. If he were to do it over again, he might do it differently.

I think the thing about Ronnie Barker is this, ... He proved that, if you do what you like, as long as you do it well - and he did it better than anyone - you can take everybody with you.

I'm hurt and Ronnie Jepson is hurt and the boys know we are hurt, ... They'd better do something about it.

(Williams has) added punch to their offense. He's a guy who can tag-team with Ronnie Brown and become a formidable running back duo, so we have to be prepared for that.

We've missed out on Sam Perry, Ronnie Brock and Zach Randolph, and I'm just naming ours. There have been so many good players.

(Travis County District Attorney Ronnie Earle) is trying to keep this case hanging around long enough to affect the November elections.

We are not disappointed in Ronnie Brown. As I said before, expectations always create frustration and a lot of anxiety, which doesn't necessarily help a guy's performance.

We have lost a giant of comedy. Ronnie Barker will be numbered amongst a select band of greats who shaped British comedy in the twentieth century.

We don't have an answer for a guy like Ronnie Brewer, except hope that people understand that it's not one guy that's going to stop him, it's going to have to take a team effort to be in a position to help whenever he's in the open court.

What we're trying to avoid is Ronnie Earle having him taken down in handcuffs, and fingerprinted and photographed. That's uncalled for, and I don't think that's going to happen.

We've been right all along that Ronnie Earle charged a crime that didn't exist and there's 30 years of precedent that backs that up. We want to get to trial and hope once we do, a jury will find Tom Delay didn't do anything illegal.

There are guys you play against or with that you hit who were strong, and then there are guys whose muscles are made of steel. That was Ronnie Lott.

We always look to get Ronnie the ball. He's the leading scorer in the SEC, so we definitely feel like we should give him the ball in crunch time.

You can't call Ronnie Barker a comedian - he was an actor and a great writer.

We all wanted him to come back, but it's everybody's dream to play in the NBA. And Ronnie fortunately has that opportunity.

We talked about it in practice Wednesday. Ronnie isn't going to win the game for the team. He'll probably mean an extra 40 rushing yards. Hopefully we'll play well enough that we won't need those 40 yards.

Bradley Williams turned in his resignation. (Town Attorney) Mike Abbott is working on a contract with Sheriff Ronnie Oakes to get deputies to run patrols for us.

As the game goes on, I usually get stronger and more comfortable and have a better feel for what to do. Life is about opportunities. Unfortunately Ronnie was down, so this week I made the most of the opportunity.

Dwayne embodies what Bulldog football is all about. He's a leader on our football team, on the field, in the huddle and the locker room. He goes about his daily duties with a professional demeanor and is respectful of his peers. He has also been a productive player for us at a high level. He is a great candidate for this award and the kind of player who should be associated with the qualities that Ronnie Lott exhibited in college and professional football.

The way he used Ricky Williams and Ronnie Brown, and the running backs from Minnesota before that, he's shown that he likes to run. I'm pretty sure I'll get a lot of touches. I'm expecting a lot more touches than I've been getting the last couple of years. I think we'll have more balance.

It was very emotional to get that house. At the same time, it wasn't a surprise. Ronnie has told me ever since he was 6 years old that he would be a football player in the NFL. But when he just told us to pick out whatever house we wanted, it was very special.

These charges have no basis in the facts or the law. Ronnie Earle has tried to manufacture charges against Republicans involved in winning those elections using arcane statutes never before utilized in a case in the state. This indictment is nothing more than prosecutorial retribution by a partisan Democrat.

Ronnie was pure gold in triplicate: as a performer, a writer and a friend. We worked together since 1965 and we never had a cross word. It was 40 years of harmonious joy, nothing but an absolute pleasure. I will miss him terribly, but he went out on a lift.

Ronnie was pure gold in triplicate - as a performer, a writer and a friend.

Ronnie was a straightforward man who had this extraordinary ability to make the nation laugh.

(Ronnie) wants to do well and he is working hard to do well and you can't always evaluate every situation based on results, in terms of how many yards he is getting a carry and things like that. Some of it is his responsibility, but I think it is a team thing that we all need to improve on, so everybody has a chance to be more successful, including Ronnie Brown.

Ronnie understands that his value to our team is not just in scoring. He's still an impact guy, whether he scores 20 points or 10. He's a humble kid who is trying to get better, and fun to coach.

Ronnie - to my mind - is the best that's ever played the game so I knew I had to play well and I have done, so I am over the moon.

Ronnie started in the middle but he has freedom to roam. With Ramon playing outside of him, and with Ramon being comfortable outside or inside, it's good that they can switch and that again gives us good flexibility.

Ronnie Patrick really stepped up Friday night. He is full speed no matter where you put him. He's really the kind of kid you want to coach.

Ronnie is in the middle of the pitch and our little warrior. You've got to put your challenges in. It is no joke in there. We are fighting for our lives and unfortunately he got booked. But we know the name of the game.

Ronnie hasn't been trying to force the issue, he's playing under control. We know he can make shots and guard people, and he has a great work ethic. I think he has a great chance to stick in this league for a long time.

Ronnie has an unselfish nature. But we need him to still be aggressive (on offense). You can't let the other team take you away.

Ronnie has a golden arm. He's just an exceptional player with great leadership ability.

Ronnie gave us the spark we needed. I think he's starting to understand what we're telling him. Hopefully, this was a glimpse of the future.

Ronnie Earle was abusing his power and getting subpoenas issued by a court that had no jurisdiction.

Ronnie Earle's previous misuse of his office has resulted in failed prosecutions and we trust his partisan grandstanding will strike out again, as it should.

Ronnie Earle's cost him his leadership spot, but in terms of the electorate, no way.

Ronnie Earle had visions of grandeur, ... He was using it as a steppingstone.

Ronnie Earle didn't indict him. The grand jury indicted him.

Ronnie Earle, a local county prosecutor, is affecting the business of the United States by his foot dragging and his frivolous appeals, and we're not going to stop.

Ronnie does not think as a trial lawyer. He thinks in right and wrong as he sees the right and the wrong. You ask him, 'Is that against the law?' and he'll say, 'It's wrong.'

Ronnie did some very good things, from a blocking standpoint, and made a couple of nice runs,

Ronnie didn't say he wouldn't go there, in fact he said the opposite was true. He said he wanted go there and win games.

Ronnie did a nice job in the game. I'm sure nobody feels worse about fumbling the ball in the situation at the end of the game than he does and that's something that we'll have to learn and grow from.

Ronnie defeated Colin quite easy earlier tonight and that can settle your nerves, but he was a little spasmodic in this game.

Ronnie could turn himself into any character. He did it with an effortless ease.

Ronnie can do a lot of different things. Part of the reason we liked him was the fact that he had versatility as a player, with his size and blocking ability.

Ronnie came in and threw the ball pretty well ... you can't ask for anything better than giving us a chance to win. Unfortunately we didn't score any runs.

Ronnie Brown is still day-to-day. He was better today than he was yesterday.

Ronnie Brown is a really good football player, a wonderful guy and a talented player, ... A lot of times, players have an advantage of playing with a team that has more offensive weapons. I would think right now, if the spots were changed, Ronnie Brown would be doing what Cadillac is doing.

Ronnie Brown didn't do nothing -- don't even come over here with anything about Ronnie Brown. Ronnie Brown had 37 yards until he hit that one long run. And he hit that one long run because we missed an assignment. So don't ask me what Ronnie Brown was doing to get those yards. Go look at the stats. Ronnie Brown had 37 yards until he got that one long run, so he didn't do nothing. It's all about what we didn't do right.

Ronnie Barker will be numbered amongst a select band of comedy greats who shaped British comedy in the 20th century.

Ronnie and Samuel were very intelligent. One spotted the space and the other reacted very well to the pass. Between them they invented a goal.

Rudy would write him and ask him, or tell him, about his school work or what he was doing in school, ... Ronnie would write him and tell him, when we'd gotten back from a trip, about the trip and what he'd seen.

As far as Ronnie hurting himself, we are aware of how it could affect him. It has affected guys differently over the years and you cannot predict the future. ... Bottom line, we have always wanted to get this deal done ASAP and Ronnie has been working out very hard everyday.

As Charlie put it, 'One minute I'm standing at Ronnie Scott's getting a standing ovation and the next minute, I'm on a marble slab',

The bottom line is Ronnie Earle wanted the mug shot.

You saw flashes last year. Ronnie got a little banged up at the end of the year and would've easily had 1,000 yards as a rookie. He's really a complete back and I think he could play every down. That guy's going to be a force to be reckoned with for years, I guarantee you that.

There were times that Ronnie and I would go out for dinner after we got done practicing, and we'd talk about everything from our families to what we can do to become better coaches. He was a tremendous person, a super great guy and a heck of a coach.

It was supposed to be Ricky Williams and Ronnie Brown today. But I showed up, too.

It's a frivolous appeal. Ronnie has taken every dilatory tactic available to him.

I told the teams that I was dealing with out there, that he was going to have a large impact and whoever got him they'd move up in the standings. The only thing that will limit them does not have to do with Ronnie - they do not have enough big people to go up against the teams in the West.
