When Peyton played, he was a grinder. I mean he was up early and late.

God that's a great game. I wish I'd played my whole career in flag football.

I wasn't supposed to run as much as I did in the NFL. But it turned out that all that scrambling I had done in college became necessary in the NFL. It wasn't by design. It was because I was running for my life!

The game of football is always changing.

I hate football.

We just take pride that our sons have worked hard and they handle their position as a quarterback.

Kids are doing more in their offseason. That's what the college quarterbacks, the pro quarterbacks do. That's how you get better.

People are just so passionate about football in the South. Great rivalries through the years. Unbelievable rivalries. It's healthy.

My wife, Olivia, always thought I was one day going to go into coaching. But after playing until I was 37, I didn't want to subject my family to that nomad life. I think I definitely could have done it.

Coaches help every facet of a person's life.

I've always said, in the era that I played, all those years with the Saints, you don't come out with a big ego.

I cherish my time at Ole Miss. I cherish those four years.

I've said publicly, and it's true, I've had a lot of wonderful things come my way. But personally, the greatest thing I ever accomplished was when I was named the starting quarterback at Ole Miss. That was my childhood dream, as it was thousands of kids in Mississippi.

I really don't think I have lived my life as an open book.

Cooper and Peyton really competed a lot, they fought a lot. But Eli was so much younger. He's the little brother.

As you get older, I have seen it a lot... fighting among siblings. The reason is usually money or spouses. But my kids don't fall into that trap.

I was a good daddy.

You never get used to losing.

People say how unbelievable and enjoyable this whole thing must be. But watching your children play quarterback, putting themselves on the line every game, getting smacked around and bloodied up... it's very, very hard.

Sometimes you can have the quarterback and no system. Sometimes, you can have a system with an average quarterback and do well.

Oh, the years fly by, that's just natural.

Gosh, I loved playing.

I think the first thing that my sons will tell you, that I never tried to be their coach. And I didn't give them as much advice as some people might think, being a former player myself and a former quarterback. If they asked, I gave them my opinion.

The only thing I could do better than Peyton was run.

We didn't try to raise QBs we just tried to raise kids.

I decided not to pursue coaching. Even though the people in coaching are some of my best friends and people I admire the most.

I like to play and I really enjoy watching golf in person or on TV.

Bobby Petrino, I think he's an outstanding coach.

In college, I was a running QB. We were a sprint out offense, so I had a big transition going into pro ball.

If you're a QB in the NFL, you'll be subjected to criticism.

When you have a son playing, you pull real hard for his team.

The '84 Bears were just like the '85 Bears, they just didn't win the Super Bowl. The defense was the same.

Back in 1983, quarterback Tommy Kramer got hurt and the Minnesota Vikings traded for me. The plan was for me to play, but I got something called Graves' disease, an autoimmune disorder, and wound up on injured reserve.

I've always told my kids to have fun.

It's no fun when you lose.

I've enjoyed so little success as a professional player.

Success, you know, is a relative thing.

You throw 40 times a game when you're first starting out, it's a crash course.

My first toy was an adjustable wrench I called 'my wrencher.'

I've always felt my wife had class and a lot more culture than I do, and I've seen that rub off on Eli.

It's a hard time, winning the Super Bowl or losing the Super Bowl.

Emeril Lagasse is one of my great friends.

TPC Louisiana, where the Zurich Classic is held, is an outstanding course.

I didn't want to be one of these pushy daddies.

I'm as proud as the next guy, but I've always been a little skeptical of the daddies who walk around talking about what great athletes their kids are.

We went to school board meetings, we went to Little League games, and we did everything to be normal.

The best advice I try to give a young quarterback is, you need to know what you're doing. You need to know what you're doing, because if you know where to go with the football, you can get rid of it and throw it and you won't get hit.

My advice for parents is to support your children, make sure they are having fun. Support them and be there for them. Give them encouragement and make it a life lesson that along the way they are learning to make good decisions and do the right thing.

I'm not sure what the right age is to start playing football.

When I showed interest in sports, my dad handled it right. I lost my dad when I was nineteen years old. Up until then, his policy on sports was that you can go out for any sport you want to - but don't even think about quitting. If you don't like it, you're going to stick it out.
