Everybody I talk to, the thing they say that impresses them most about Cadillac is his humility. All I ever hear is how he's never gotten caught up in the notoriety and the status that he's earned.
They went to the NFC Championship game without T.O., they went to the Super Bowl without T.O. - I don't know what makes him think he's so important,
The Cowboys have to draft a quarterback. What happens if Bledsoe gets hurt?
This is a game, first and foremost. There was only one Vince Lombardi, and he died.
There are excellent football coaches out there, and excellent assistants that could do a good job. But it's going to take time. With Tice, you have an excellent football coach. I think he should be given a chance to come back and coach that football team.
Those were guys, maybe not in as much of a publicized way, that were the heart and soul of the defense. Yeah, they added Chad Brown. They added the athletic ability, but do you have the cohesiveness that's necessary?
Those guys are good, and the elements up in Chicago make them even more scary. I look at Chicago, Tampa and Indy all running the same basic defense, and it starts with four guys up front causing problems.
When they did Monday Night Football , it was all about three networks. You didn't have 600 choices. Today, the market share is smaller, but we still believe the product will be just as good.
The Denver Broncos just aren't going to allow Kerry Collins to complete a pass in the middle of the field.
Over the last three years, I found myself getting up in the middle of the night to go to the bathroom. After a while, I began to accept that going to the bathroom so frequently was simply part of aging after hitting 50.
Back when we played, they were like molded to your head. Football players are a finicky bunch. A running back likes his leg pads to fit just right. Some players like their shoulder pads to fit a certain way. We all have our idiosyncrasies and quirks.
That's ludicrous. When you sign a contract, your job is to play to the best of your ability. What about if an athlete underperforms? Do they give some of the millions back?
You need the hammer, and you need the other guy, too. If you can have that, it gives you versatility on the offense. One of the areas I don't think people really, really consider a lot is converting third downs. You have to be able to convert them.
Laveranues and Rod didn't want to be here and be a part of what was going on, but now Mark has two guys that want to be here and will do anything to help him. Plus, Mark can anticipate the speed of the receivers better than Patrick can. He'll be able to get the ball out where Santana can run to it.
