I was fighting every windmill, especially when I was in college.

Nowadays, if you are afraid of confrontation, you are not going to do very well.

The thing I really look for in this business is there are guys who are into football and there are guys who are in the profession for other reasons.

I just try to do the best job I possibly can - put the blinders on, go to work and be the best you can possibly be. Once you have done everything that you possibly can - you've put forth your greatest effort - then I can live with whatever's next.

A team divided against itself can break down at any moment. The least bit of pressure or adversity will crack it apart

You lose with potential. You win with performance.

It's a lot easier to lose than it is to win. It's easier, but it's not more comfortable.
