Be patient with the negative people of the world. Take a moment to think how they are helping you clarify your own thinking and firming your own resolve. Then, headslap them out of your way.
Deacon JonesYou are one of a kind, one in a billion, an incredible unique individual. The problem is, so is everybody else.
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 JonesI 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.
