I am not happy with moral victories. Those things are forgotten.

Don't go to the grave with life unused.

I've always said it takes more courage to stand back there and throw a ball knowing you're fixing to get drilled than anything I can think of in football.

I was always going to church with my mom, dad and sister. I was literally raised under the godly influence both at home and church. There was no alcohol and no smoking at our house. That was the way a Bowden was supposed to live. My dad always told me to represent the Bowden name in a respectful manner.

Sportsmanship to me is going out and playing as hard as you can within the rules.

After you retire, there's only one big event left....and I ain't ready for that.

To have the kind of year you want to have, something has to happen that you can't explain why it happened. Something has to happen that you can't coach.
