“Hey, the offensive linemen are the biggest guys on the field, they're bigger than everybody else, and that's what makes them the biggest guys on the field.”

"Ruben Brown made that play there....well I mean he missed the guy completley but he was able to create just enough room for Thomas Jones by whiffing. The air he created on the miss gave Jones enough space to score"

"90% of the game is half mental."

"The team who scores the most points will win the game."

"If they don't score any points, then they're probably not going to win the game"

"They're either going to run the ball here, or they're gonna pass it"

"The play would have been much greater if he did not make the tackle, so it was not so great."

Al: "John what do the Vikings need to do to get back into this game? "

John: "Well Al, to get back into this game...Daunte Culpepper and the Vikings have to get back into this game. "

"When your arm gets hit, the ball is not going to go where you want it to."

"A fumble is a fumble when he fumbles, and that my friend was a fumble!"

"To get more yards, it's best to move the ball from the line of scrimmage down the field."

"If the quarterback throws the ball in the endzone and it is caught, that's gonna be a touchdown."

"When a guy runs he goes faster."

"From the waist down, Earl Campbell has the biggest legs I have ever seen on a running back."

"Not only do you get a first down, but you get a whole new set of downs!"

"Now here's a guy that, when he puts his glasses on, he can see better."

"The best thing would be a touchdown and the second best thing would be a fieldgoal."

"Whenever you talk about a Mike Shanahan offense, you're always going to be talking about his offense."

Don't worry about the horse being blind, just load the wagon.

The road to Easy Street goes through the sewer(that explains the situation of New Orleans)

What's the toughest thing in a professional football game? It's being the mother of the quarterback (has noone seen the Chunky soup commercials... shes workin hard..right?)

The fewer rules a coach has, the fewer rules there are for players to break.

The only yardstick for success our society has is being a champion. No one remembers anything else.

I'm lucky. I'm the luckiest guy in the world. I never really had a job. I was a football player, then a football coach, then a football broadcaster. It's been my life. Pro football has been my life since 1967. I've enjoyed every part of it. Never once did it ever feel like work. They talk about how hard coaches work. They work 18, 20 hours a day. They sleep on a couch. They don't come home. You know, that's not the hard job. The hard job is a coach's wife, believe me. The job of the coach's wife, she has to be mother, father, driver, doctor, nurse, coach, everything, because the coach is out there working.

"His helmet flew off...that's the bad news. The good news is his head wasn't in it."

"John Elway is an immediate cure for coach's burnout." (so is tough actin tinactin)

Usually the team that scores the most points is going to win it.

"It is better to give a lick than receive one.

A team should never practice on a field that is not lined. Your players have to become aware of the field's boundaries.

With all his tumid boasts, he's like the sword-fish, who only wears his weapon in his mouth.

I think the offense is lookin for a first down on this drive

tell your linemen to block on this play...tell your linemen to block every play

I bet Madden vs. Corso is a big ongoing debate within the football video gaming community.

B) the Madden impersonation is ridiculously funny. I thought the Robin Williams one that he did was down to a tee also.

B)

I still remember the game he drew a receiver running a fly route and then the safety playing zone on the inside and the CB playing zone on the outside. so you had 2 Zone circles with a straight line coming right out of the middle of the 2 circles.
