I was dreaming of Craig Carton.
We don’t have the plumbing to take care of what needs to be taken care of.
That’s not me. I wouldn’t [take paternity leave.] Quite frankly, I would have said C-section before the season starts. I need to be at Opening Day. I’m sorry.
There's always something to talk about.
When we played against Dan Marino, the best defense was to keep him on the sideline. By keeping him on the sideline, you made him frustrated. You made him anxious. When he came on the field, he felt like he had to score every time. I think that is where Peyton Manning is.
And that's why, you know, it's players like Randy Moss that unfortunately put a stain on the entire league.
All I can tell you is I played with Johnny Mitchell. Johnny Mitchell was one of the greatest athletic talents I ever played with, but I could never trust him. When the game was on the line and he was supposed to run an out route at 10 yards, he would run an in route at eight and slide to the outside and scream to me that he was open. But it was how he got open that really made me uncomfortable in trusting him.
To my mind ClickThings, and John Underwood are world champion caliber, and I am delighted to have the opportunity to partner with them.
I have reviewed literally hundreds of dotcoms in my drive to bring Boomer Esiason Foundation onto the Internet, and have selected ClickThings as a partner because of the advanced technology it offers small business, and its understanding of the entrepreneurial spirit of the small business community.
The support of organizations including the NY Jets, Canon USA, USA Football, and Outback Steakhouse is a great example of how corporate America can make an impact in bettering the communities where employees work and live.
Playing quarterback ... it's no joke ... The difference here with Johnny Manziel, there's a lot of style and very little substance.
Randy Moss is not a leader. He doesn't deserve to be the captain of the Oakland Raiders. He's the one who said he wanted to be traded. He's not happy. His effort is lacking. That's a disgrace to the uniform. I don't care what uniform you have on.
You might not believe it, but there are times when I feel the TV and radio shows demand more of me than those Sunday afternoon games.
I have played on many teams throughout my career, and I know when a team has the tools, and the right positive attitude towards winning.
