We want the right people, the ones who love to play football. I want a guy who, if I punch him in the mouth, doesn't stand there and say, ?Why did you punch me?' I want the guy who punches me back first, and then asks me why I did it.

I can't root for Jimmie Johnson to win the Nextel Cup b/c of all of his Super Bowl wins.

They're my mistakes. ... I didn't pick the right guys.

What I should have done, if I was going to be a GM, was gone on the road, gotten into the personnel a lot better. To do that job, you've gotta do it all year. I just did it at draft time.

I'd run over Russ Grimm's mother to win the Super Bowl, too.

To win, I'd run over Joe's mom too.

Leaders are never appreciated or needed until you don't have them.
