If I'm going to be asked to cook the meal, I'd like to be able to pick the groceries.
God's been good to me, He really has. I don't know why he picked me out... Just think about it: I virtually coached in my hometown. From the middle of the Meadowlands field, it can't be but a couple of miles. I was lucky to do that.
The players' minds are off that game, ... They are working on San Francisco. They have been working on it since 8 o'clock this morning. They are not thinking about Washington.
We're not really in the business of passing on information,
I don't do many endorsements. I'd rather get doused by Gatorade than bust my butt selling it.
On offense, we were sloppy a little bit... couldn't take care of the ball, and had some penalties. You don't get to win many of 'em doing those things.
I got two high-strung players, you know? That's it.
My entire life has been spent thinking about this game. That's pretty narrow... I don't view myself as a person who's well-versed in very many subjects. I'm not proud of that.
I spent a lot of time with my teams, especially in the East Coast teams, talking about dealing with the elements a lot of time, and a lot of instruction about field position and those kind of things. I like that variable.
If you're sensitive, you will have a hard time with me.
I got more money than I can spend now.
I think there are a lot of good people, a lot of good football guys in the NFL.
I'm a little superstitious.
God's been good to me, He really has.
