“Sportsmanship to me is going out and playing as hard as you can within the rules.”

I am not happy with moral victories. Those things are forgotten.

After you retire, there’s only one big event left….and I ain’t ready for that.

I learned more from the mistakes than from the good things.

I’ve always said it takes more courage to stand back there and throw a ball knowing you’re fixing to get drilled than anything I can think of in football.

If their IQ’s where five points lower they’d be geraniums.

Any time you end a relationship, and everyone has ended plenty in their life, it’s always a tough thing and hard to get over.

In order to perfect your craft, you’ve gotta go hard, you’ve gotta go overtime.
