Most of my recognition comes from us winning that championship. The words may not come out - 'Super Bowl III' - because a lot of the folks at the grocery store, gas station or mall weren't even born when we won the Super Bowl. But they're aware of it. It has had a tremendous impact on my life since then.
You learn you can do your best even when it's hard, even when you're tired and maybe hurting a little bit. It feels good to show some courage.
I don't like going out on a date unless I know the broad a little bit beforehand. By the way, 'broad' to me is not a detrimental term for women; it's simply another word for female. Anyway, I don't really go out a whole lot, because there aren't many girls I like to take out and spend a whole evening with - at least not an evening in public.
Until I was thirteen, I thought my name was 'shut up.'
Football Is an honest game. It's true to life . It's a game about sharing. Football is a team game. So is life.
I told him about the car story. He got a kick out of it.
Where's Joe? I know he's in here because his car's parked outside.
The name of the game is 'kill the quarterback.' Every football team tries to knock the guy out of the game that's handling the ball.
I thought we'd win when I said those things. I wasn't trying to be cocky or anything.
Hey guys, I don't want to ride alone, ... Somebody jump in.
I don't like to date so much as I just like to kind of, you know, run into somethin', man.
I wanna kiss you. I couldn't care less about the team struggling.
It feels good to show some courage.
The game is choreographed; it is mental, it is physical, it is a battle. People can feel those hits when they are in the stadium, you feel them and you see the velocity of the players.
