There's nothing wrong with having Carolina and Seattle in there. As a football fan, the four best teams are playing this weekend.
If I were a resident of New Orleans who lost everything I owned, had no home, and possibly lost a loved one, I don't think football is necessarily something that would help me escape. Honestly, I don't think football is something they 'can't wait to see' on Sunday, even if they have TV sets or are at a shelter somewhere across America.
If I were a resident of New Orleans and had lost everything that I have, had no home, and possibly had lost a loved one, I really don't think that football is going to help me escape the present position that my family is in, ... I don't really think for those who have been most affected that the NFL is something they're going to be glad to see. ... For those who didn't lose everything, maybe it's a little different.
There really has been only one thing in my life that has made me feel complete, and that is the game of football. The ability to throw a football was my God-given talent. That was my blessing and my passion; that was my calling in live, and everything that I've accomplished has derived from that.
Imagine yourself sitting on top of a great thoroughbred horse. You sit up there and you just feel that power. That's what it was like playing quarterback on that team [the Pittsburgh Steelers]. It was a great ride.
When Brian told me he grew up in New Mexico, I told him I thought it is cool that people from other countries play football. He corrected me on my geography and agreed to sit down with me anyway.
Fans are fans. I hated and loved them, hated and loved them, hated and loved them.
The best thing you can say about any coach is his players play hard for him.
Ride it when you retire.
I always wanted everyone to like me. I wanted the city of Pittsburgh to be proud of me. But my first few seasons, I could to count the number of people on my bandwagon on one finger.
I may be dumb, but I'm not stupid.
Football used to be my god but no longer is. I still love it, I'm still aggressive, I still want to be very successful at it, I want to win a lot of football games. And my job is to be the best football player in the world, because it affords me a life; it pays, it's my job, and so it hasn't dulled my senses for the game or the love or the great excitement I get from the game. It's just that I'm very much at peace with myself because of my faith.
No one will ever win four [Super Bowls] in six years again. It won't happen. You can chisel that sucker in stone.
It would be great for Jerome to finish his career with a win. The Steelers have been so close the last few seasons, but something always went wrong at the end.
