“The minute he walked into that room, he got a standing ovation. Every player and coach was on his feet. I didn't expect that, but it was just one of those moments that you cherish. Then Jerry spoke to the team for 10 minutes. It just showed the respect that he has earned.”
Mike Shanahan
“He's walked into a couple of rooms where, spontaneously, he's received a standing ovation.”
Michael Morris
“When we walked in we were given a standing ovation, my crew and me.”
Bob Woodruff
“Standing ovations have become far too commonplace. What we need are ovations where the audience members all punch and kick one another.”
George Carlin
“When you walk off the mound pitching like that against anybody, you're going to get an ovation. When it's against the Red Sox, that's something I don't think he'll ever forget.”
Joe Torre
“If you get a standing ovation for getting 12 points, there is something wrong. If I had scored 12 points, I would have gotten booed out of the building. My mother and grandmother would have called cussing me out.”
Charles Barkley
“They gave him a standing O (ovation) when he went out onto the field the next inning.”
