All you have to do is play better than the other guy and things go well. If you don't play better than the other players then somebody takes your place. Now a lot of guys, in this day and time with the transient nature of the sport, as soon as the competition gets too good, they want out.

You can't dream up confidence. Confidence is born of demonstrated ability.

No matter how much you've won, no matter how many games, no matter how many championships, no matter how many Super Bowls, you're not winning now, so you stink.

Any penalty - I've told you a hundred times - can be eliminated by concentration or good judgment.

There are two things in New York, euphoria and disaster.
