I did come up with the term "sack" to describe the devastation I was bringing on the poor, cringing quarterbacks in the NFL. "Sack the quarterback." That was nice. I thought it was lots better than saying, "Jones tackles the QB behind the line for another loss of yardage ..." It had a ring to it, and it caught on with the sports writers. But I tell you, doing it was a lot more fun than talking about it.
Deacon JonesWhen I see guys huddling up after the game, to pray, thatโs what scares me about the game. Iโm a Baptist, but Iโm also a quarterback killer, and I ainโt praying with you. But I will give you 30 seconds to ask your Lord and master to keep me from killing you.

Deacon JonesWhen it comes to your life's work, you can't take yourself too seriously. Even Jesus had an occasional joke with the boys, take walking on water, for instance - but there's a time and place for fun. Jesus never faltered when it came time to tip over the money stalls or to take his hard walk up the mountain.
