I believe that if you die trying to be your best, the world is still a better place.
What we shared and what we were able to accomplish on the football field was something unbelievable.
It doesn't matter if you want to be in the NFL or do something else. If you want something great, you won't get it sitting around.
I don't know how we could use it to improve the job that umpires do,. . . The human element in sport has always been a big part of the game. I'm a football fan, too, and I hate instant replay in the NFL. Football games are taking four hours.
Your body, the only one you will ever have, is the foundation of your life. And it’s either an anchor limiting your freedom and potential or a source of radiant energy, vitality and joy, elevating your life and the lives of those around you. It’s your choice… will yours be a source of strength, from which you will impact the world, or an obstacle, preventing you from your dreams and desires? … As my friend, NFL Hall of Fame quarterback John Elway is fond of saying,'If you’re going to bother setting a goal, aim high!'… My advice to you, aim high; aim for strength.

It hasn't yet materialized that I went into sports management, but I haven't ruled it out yet, either. I only half-jokingly remarked that I'd love to be the commissioner of the NFL. But as I recently told current Commissioner Roger Goodell, that job looked a lot more appealing when I was struggling with the Russians and the Iranians everyday.
Coach Lombardi showed me that by working hard and using my mind, I could overcome my weakness to the point where I could be one of the best.
I've been calling plays in the huddle since I was seven.
He's as quick as a hiccup.
I scored a touchdown on the first reception I made in the NFL and spiked the ball. The instant I did, I felt horrible and couldn't wait for the game to end so I could call Coach Bryant and apologize. He said he didn't even notice, but I never spiked the ball again.
I've always tried to coach people the way I would like to be coached; positively and encouragingly rather than with criticism and fear. . . I've tried to be as fair as possible.
Adversity makes me hungrier. I thrive on being able to make a way out of No Way.
Trade him for a six pack; it doesn't even have to be cold.
More and more NFL players have been willing their bodies to science so that their brains can be studied even if they die of other causes.
I think the state of the NFL has a very positive outlook.
