In order to WIN the game, you must first not LOSE it.
The most interesting thing about this sport, at least to me, it the activity of preparation-any aspect of preparation for the games. The thrill isn't in the winning, it's in the doing.
Before you can win a game, you have to not lose it.
The thrill isn't in the winning, it's in the doing.
The key to a winning season is focusing on one opponent at a time. Winning one week at a time. Never look back and never look ahead.
If you want to win, do the ordinary things better than anyone else does them day in and day out.

I've always avoided publicity. I've never been good copy at any stage of my life. I don't strive for it, because I don't think it's important whether I'm good copy or not. The two can go together, if that's your personality, but every person on this earth is unique.
I'm really not a celebrity; I'm just a teacher.
I used to tell the players that professional football is a part-time profession. I used to tell them it gets you ready for your life's work.
I tried to look around to see what I wanted to do. Football was something I knew the most about.
The critics are always right. The only way you shut them up is by winning.
The single most important thing we had in the Steelers of the '70s was the ability to work together.
Mamas, don't let your sons grow up to be Cowboys... or Oilers.
