I had pro offers from the Detroit Lions and Green Bay Packers, who were pretty hard up for linemen in those days. If I had gone into professional football the name Jerry Ford might have been a household word today.
Gerald R. Ford
I`m a guy from Detroit who never dreamed that my life would be filled with such incredible excitement, adventure and good fortune. I`m truly thankful to God and the many Angel`s in my life.

When asked by Dinah Shore what influenced his music: "The industrialism in Detroit...what I heard walking around...boom boom bah - 10 cars...boom boom bah - 20 cars...I get a lot of my influence from the electric shaver..."
Iggy Pop
[on what he remembers about making Crime Wave (1985)] Three months in Detroit, which was where we were. Murder City. I was really sick, I was doing a lot of drugs, but I told Sam Raimi, "Put me on, but don`t say cut, let me go". He did and I went and basi...

All my life I`ve been dealing with my race because of where I grew up [Detroit] and being in the rap game. I`m at a boiling point...Anybody who pulls the race card is getting it right back in their face.
Eminem
[on Detroit`s large population of people in poverty] When I come back and come back and come back I`m making a statement that this is for real. You`re about to listen, absorb and to challenge yourself to move in a positive direction. Strength, that`s what...
Bill Cosby
It`s difficult to lose a guy like Dario, not only because he`s a great driver but because he`s a good friend, too. We`re going to miss him. But the series made great strides over the past couple of years and this year in particular. I was asked in Detroit...
Danica Patrick
You know, I`m the 1st black solo MC from Detroit. I didn`t do the 50 Cent sales but hey... I got a long career, I`m still young and I`m trying to bring really good music.
Obie Trice
Well, I was into music since I was a kid, ya know, back in Detroit. I say Detroit, but it was really a little suburb outside the city called Romeo.

We went to Detroit. I wanted to see what was going on in some other parts of the world. You know, I was just traveling, like. I had a minister that lived here. He was in St. Louis and he said things was going so well and that it was such a wonderful place...
Alan Garber
We simply classified it as a numbers game. Rickey is a quality player and has the skills to play in the NBA. For Rickey, it just wasn`t the right time or right place for him in Detroit.
John Hammond
We have told the federal government that we here in the city of Detroit are willing to step up and accept evacuees from both Louisiana and Mississippi,
Kwame Kilpatrick
We have an opportunity to show the world that this is a much different place than it was in 1982, the last time we hosted the Super Bowl. A renaissance is taking place in what was a decaying inner city, and I can`t wait for the world to see the new Detroi...
Baledzi Gaolathe
Though I`d have to say it was generally the guys in Detroit, as a group, that won the two Championships. They were terrific and I always look back very fondly.
Alan Kirk
This year we have to go out and take care of business and everyone has to do their responsibilities. If everyone does that, then we will be okay. Our goal is to be in Detroit [site of the Super Bowl in February].
Barb Flammond
This is a once-in-a-lifetime, world-class event. Making sure our customers are satisfied is what it`s all about. This is an opportunity to showcase Detroit to the world.
Matt Jones
They`ve got all the drama and hype — we have the great basketball game. Detroit and San Antonio might not be glamour cities like Los Angeles and Miami, but both teams play pure basketball the way its meant to be played.
Maurice Evans
There`s no hard feelings. We`ve got something great going on. We`ve got a real good head coach, who sets a great tone . . . got players who have one common goal. In the end, we`re trying to get to Detroit. Don`t let anybody fool you. That`s why we`re in t...
