Tom was a brilliant chairman who raised thousands of pounds for the association and I am sure Mitchell will also do a great job.

Tom trained on Wednesday, and he'll be okay.

Tom took great pride in the fact he didn't miss a game. Like a lot of young broadcasters of the '60s and '70s, he learned that it was a 365-day a year job. You didn't take a day off just because you were ill. But, of all of us, he had the ironman streak.

Tom told me this wonderful story about how Ernie and his wife invited Tom and his wife over in Florida one time for a dish of ice cream. Who in this day invites you over for a dish of ice cream. Just wonderful.

Tom said people in our country should not live like this. We filed law suits in Dona Ana County and it worked for two reasons. The developers knew they would be held accountable and there was some serious reform of the New Mexico Subdivision Act.

Tom Ridge is a decent man and a fine public servant, but unfortunately was not given the leeway or resources to tighten up homeland security in the way it should be done,

Tom Reillys case to the people of Massachusetts does not rest on where he stands on one particular issue or another. It rests on his integrity, honesty, and a hundred-percent commitment to giving the people of Massachusetts a full days work for a full days pay.... He is as honest as the sun, regardless of whether you agree or disagree with him.

Tom puts as much effort, if not more, in his preparation than anybody on this team. I'm not worried about him.

Tom pulled off the coup of the century. He probably planned it like a precision military operation.

Tom played really well for us. Cody did, too, with 18 boards. They all played good. Those two hit some big shots.

Tom Petty kept his price very low compared to his contemporaries. Chicago and Earth, Wind & Fire did, too, when they paired up for a tour, and it was very successful.

We remember with tears Tom Fox. We had longed for the day when all four men would be released together. Our gladness today is bittersweet by the fact that Tom is not alive to join his colleagues in the celebration.

We're going to start planning it two weeks after this one is over. Tom Glennon (director of the Georgia Children's Museum) has already come to me with the idea of a children's division, both films made by children and directed at children as an audience. We may even show them at the museum.

We're getting better every day. Tom is a great outside runner, Hunter runs the ball inside, and (fullback) Jamie Jackson gets around the blocks. And the offensive line is coming together, even though pretty much everyone is new. If we play as we've practiced, look for big improvement.

Throughout November, (owner) John Henry, (owner) Tom Werner, Larry and I held discussions to see what lessons could be learned in the aftermath of my departure. Gradually, with the benefit of time and greater perspective, we tackled not only our personal conflicts but also the differences regarding our thoughts for the organization.

Throughout his career, Tom Delay has been a controversial, divisive and ethically challenged figure, ... He has brought disrepute on the House of Representatives, and his leadership hasn't been good for the institution.

We were trying to spread them out with different personnel groups, ... I thought that was pretty effective. I thought Tom did a good job of managing the game.

We did one of those scenes where I take his hand and show him some things, ... and I remember Frank saying, 'Cut,' and everybody was just silent for a couple of minutes. Everybody was kind of crying. Tom was still crying. I was still crying. Frank didn't even know what to say. That was a moment I will never forget.

The fact is that Tom Campbell is like you and me. He is not a career politician like Tom DeLay. He is a citizen politician. Tom Campbell calls on Tom DeLay to get beyond the negative, immaterial distractions and get back to the real issues that are important to the people of the district.

The only person who tells me what to do now is my wife. T.K. (manager Tom Kelly) can't tell me to bunt. The coaches can't tell me what to do. The only person I take orders from is my wife. She told me to cut the lawn today. So I cut the lawn.

When Tom Morello picks up the guitar, I'm sure what he sees is totally different from what I do, but I love the way he plays.

When the season started, (King) was the No. 3 hitter, and I've always been one to have my best hitter in the No. 3 hole. But Edgar Ramirez started off hot, so I moved him to No. 3 and switched Tom to the second hitter. Then we started winning. I figured, why change something that's working?

Like every child growing up in America, I read 'The Adventures of Tom Sawyer' and 'Huckleberry Finn.' I liked them well enough, but I didn't love them.

Lynn is a Mount Mercy girl. Her husband, Tom, who is also here tonight, and I are Timon guys. Incidentally, Kevin and Tom grew up together in South Buffalo. They haven't seen each other in 25 years since they were at Holy Family on Tifft Street together.

Making Horseshoe Bay into a city isn't going to get that water cooler fixed (at the golf course). People complain 'They fired the tennis pro' or 'They fired the golf pro.' Well, the Dallas Cowboys fired Tom Landry.

Many of us are guilty of having allowed Tom Bradley to do whatever he has done without really challenging him, without making sense out of what was going on in City Hall. And so now we are confronted with a situation where we have two candidates and we don't know who they are really and what they care about.

Many will speculate that this signifies that Tom is thinking about running for president, when in fact, that is not what this invitation is all about.

Mental illnesses involve biological brain disorders, no matter what Tom Cruise says,

One night, our captors took us downstairs, sat us in front of the TV, and showed us the life of Jesus on DVD in Arabic. But these are the people who shot Tom Fox in the head. People are very complex. Also, I think they wanted to keep us happy, so that we wouldn't try any desperate escape.

Obviously, we want Tom to be here a long time. The job he has done has been recognized by the people at Hofstra and people away from Hofstra. I have to anticipate someone will come calling.

Of course Steve McNair is not going to get paid like Tom Brady and Michael Vick, but so what? But he should get his, and it shouldn't crush the football team.

On late ex-wife Paula Yates and her lover Michael Hutchence: They thought they were Mick Jagger and Jerry Hall. In fact they were more like Tom and Jerry.

People were really scattered all over, and Tom Searls Sr. (who had moved from Chelsea) asked the Grange if they could hold a meeting here,

Peyton Manning and Tom Brady, they're great quarterbacks, but they're going to be a dying breed. Defenses are getting too fast. You can't have quarterbacks who are statues.

Nobody here thinks we are going to out raise Tom DeLay. But we are going to have to raise more to win this House race than anybody probably has raised before.

New York has been playing great and I know the whole business of it. Tom just told me to practice hard and we'll see what happens.

One of my favorite things about Tom Waits is not only his songs, but when he does do live shows, it's the theatrics involved. It's like Kabuki theater, really old-fashioned theatrics. Like, standing on top of a piece of plywood lying on some cinderblocks and clapping his hands, banging on a bucket.

If we get a little lucky, Tom DeLay will look at the next election from behind bars, ... Then in 2006, we're going to take back the House.

I have enormous friendship and respect with Tom Daschle. Always have had and always will have. And I have nothing but admiration and respect for what he is trying to do with this in the Senate.

I'd love Tom to have been available. But now is the right time for him to be furthering his development.

I don't care if you're a guy named Tom and drink eight six-packs a day, you're still going to have an opinion of someone who walks into a room wearing a bad outfit.

I don't believe somebody like Tom DeLay is going to take any chances by way of his representation, and his reputation.

I'd be lying if ... I mean, there's a love-hate. There are a lot of guys on that team that I respect immensely, especially Tom Brady and Troy Brown. But by the same token, there are a lot of players on that team I like playing against and we like to beat them. I can't name names, but it's a healthy competition. When they beat us last year in the AFC title game, that leaves scars. You want payback. You play the team that cut you, you obviously want to beat that team.

I am determined to put on record the steps taken by you and your staff to obtain a replacement indictment against my client, Tom DeLay.

I am grateful to Ted Turner and Tom Johnson for the opportunity to have helped build CNN into a first-class television news institution.

I am grateful to have had Tom Udall as my mentor in the practice of law.

I am so happy for Tom and Cindy, and I am grateful that they can now put this two-year saga behind them, and move on in life.

I have a lot of respect for what Tom thinks and what he says. I don't really have any problem with what he said.

I have a deal with HBO to develop television, and I am also developing a movie called 'The Abstinence Teacher,' which is based on a book by Tom Perrotta.

I have a piano in my kitchen. I read a great biography about Tom Waits that said that he had a piano in his kitchen; he had a grand piano in his kitchen. And I thought, 'Well, if Tom Waits has one, then I must.'

I have known Tom for many years. I know him to be a highly qualified and capable individual who will serve the Robinson organization extremely well in the years to come.

I handled all the program activities and he (Butterfield) did the overall operation of the ranch. During my senior year of college Tom was looking for a building to start his boys' ranch. I went with him to look at the building that became the home of Butterfield Boys' Ranch.

I felt like we played a real good game against Tom Bean, ... but we made a lot of mistakes we can improve on. We can improve our passing game. We have a lot of weapons and I feel like we can put points on the board.

I felt fine, ... I wanted to take all of the snaps, but (coach Tom Coughlin) took me out and I don't argue with the head man about that. But I was making all the throws. I threw some deep ones that actually had too much on them. I have to work on the timing on some of those things, but it felt good throwing.

I feel very comfortable with Anthony. It doesn't mean he'll play a mistake-free ball game. Heck, even Tom Brady doesn't play a mistake-free ball game. He needs to go out and work the design and play the way he's capable of playing.

I did get Tom Hanks to say, Life is just a box of chocolates.

Fuzzy (Zoeller) tells me I should have played in the old days, with him and Tom Watson and Lee Trevino and those guys, ... They never worked out. All they cared about was winning, not the money. Trophies, that's all that has ever mattered to me, I never cared about the money.

From Tom I really learned I could be the coach I wanted to be while being the person I wanted to be.

I don't think any actor has the luxury of knowing exactly what scripts are going to turn out well and what ones aren't. It would be wonderful to have that particular skill, and maybe people like Tom Cruise have it more than most, but you go into each project hoping that a good, if not great, film will come out the other end.

If a peeping Tom is caught, they will be charged. If it happens on campus, they will be charged both on campus and in the Buncombe County court system. If they live in resident housing and it was appropriate, they might lose their resident housing and up to expulsion, considering how serious the offense.

If a guy called up (partners) Joe Roper or Tom Brown and said, 'I need a rig on location next Monday,' it would be there.

I expect Tom to play. How much, we have to make that determination.

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.
