“I love the game. I think it’s a great game because you find out a lot about yourself. You test your mettle every week.”

Confidence is only born out of one thing ­ demonstrated ability. It is not born of anything else. You cannot dream up confidence. You cannot fabricate it. You cannot wish it. You have to accomplish it.

I’ll call somebody ‘dumb’ or ‘stupid’ if they make a dumb or stupid play. I don’t know any other word for it, and if they don’t like the word, that’s too bad.

It’s better to decide wrongly than weakly. If you’re weak, you’re likely to be wrong anyway.

If there’s one thing I can’t stand, it’s a quarterback who thinks playing quarterback is just about passing.

Winning coaches look for opportunities to praise. Anything that reflects a commitment to the team is praiseworthy

Success is never final, but failure can be.

Harriet Tubman is the perpetuation of a “Super Soul Sunday” every day.

Necessity knows no Sunday.

Sunday-evening tea before the fire! I have never missed one moment of beauty, not even taken it for granted.
