My craziest ambition is to take John Madden's job and salary.

That's one of the great things about Thanksgiving: Football's on!

I think this can be a championship team. But we do have to take it one game at a time. You can't look at the end of the road before you get the next foot in.

All camps are hard, that's what they're intended to be. They make you focus when you're tired, when you don't feel like doing things, and to see how long you can retain and pay attention.

I was scared every time I put on a uniform and stepped on the field. I’m scared every day I go into the studio and I come on stage because I fear that I will not live up to what is expected. I fear that somebody who spent a lot of money to come into our studio, to come to New York and they’ll walk away and go, ‘I could have stayed at home.’ I feared that as a player a fan would come to the stands and I wouldn’t perform well. Just the way I’m built. I’m more scared of failure than I am excited about the accolades that come with success.

I started playing Madden back in 1993 because that was the first year I actually made it into the game and that was a big thrill. When you're in Madden, you've made it, baby.

Memorizing a playbook is like memorizing a script. When they change the script at the last minute it's like changing a play in a game.
