There is unbelievable freedom for an analyst to be in a two-man booth, ... In a two-man booth, Troy will be able to set up a game. He will decide what he wants to show and teach an audience. It's like a quarterback being able to call his own plays.
It was a rough weekend. I don't know which was the worst call. There were a lot of them that creep into my mind.
The NFL Today. Mike Shanahan knows, at best, he's got this possession and - maybe - one more.
The NFL is about winning games late. They had opportunities many, many times (and) they did win a few of them the Jets come to mind. But they just didn't make the plays at the right time that they did the year before.
That's the favorite question. Everyone wants to know what the surprise team will be.
Would it be a surprise to you if I said the Dallas Cowboys? ... I liked what I saw of the Cowboys in the preseason. I liked their schemes. I liked their energy.
I didn't realize he can throw garbage pretty good. Yeah, he's a trash-talker. You wouldn't believe it looking at him, the voice of CBS golf. I do it a lot, and I was surprised at how much he slings it back.
He's the perfect quarterback for a team that likes to run it. Because he's big enough to stand there and shake off tacklers and get 4- and 5-yard passes off, which you need to do a lot of when you're a running team because you're in a lot of third downs.
He's a more rested quarterback this year. He admitted it; he was tired last year.
When you're angry, you're grinding at what you're doing all week. You pay attention. Sometimes when you feel good about yourself, you don't cross a few T's.
Whatever it takes to make yourself a little angry.
Playing well and winning the Super Bowl helped my credibility. Otherwise, when I'd give an opinion, people would say, 'What has he done?' If I didn't win that Super Bowl, I'd probably be coaching somewhere. TV would not be an option for me. So, (winning the Super Bowl) does help.
Look at the two New York quarterbacks, Joe Namath and myself. We've done a lot with one damn game. That's just the truth.
He can stay relaxed and throw the ball down the field better than anybody in the NFL.
