You better have an anchor in life. It doesn't matter if you're a Division I head football coach or Joe Schmo from Okemoh. Bad things happen. If you're not anchored, you're going to be washed away.

I just made a decision a long time ago: I'm not going to be defined by a scoreboard.

Continue to do common things in an uncommon way. Continue to be 'all in.' Continue to apply 'best is the standard.' Continue to be a person of excellence in everything you do.

No matter what's behind us in the rearview mirror, it's always about what's next.

God creates us to compete. He creates us to win. It matters. But you've got no chance if you don't do your best.

I'm not perfect. I don't claim to be perfect. So, when people point out I'm imperfect, so what? That's just who I am.

If the building is on fire and the person decides to stay in there, I don't run in there and get him out. If you see them breaking the glass, if you see them struggling and trying to get out - that's my analogy of how I help out the guys in the league and the kids that really, really need help.

Sometimes you have to self-scout yourself.

I don't think Joey Harrington is good enough to be a starting quarterback in the NFL.

Would you rather have a good fullback or a good third receiver? I'll take the receiver.

As a wide receiver, you don't want to feel that the quarterback is only going to throw you the ball if you're wide open.

Joe Montana had bad games in the playoffs against the Giants and Chicago Bears; that doesn't stop us from considering him as possibly the best.

When you play quarterback in the NFL, you're going to get scrutinized.

Ronnie Lott - he got a really good shot on me once and I learned that unless I wanted to shorten my career, I needed to steer clear of his path.

Receivers have always dropped a lot of balls.

As a running back, when you get the ball year after year - and I would say three years on the short end and seven on the long side - you reach a point where it seems like overnight, your body changes and you can't do what you used to do anymore. We see those drastic declines more at running back than any other position.

If you give Brett Favre time to throw the ball and single coverage, you're making the offense that much better.

Michael Strahan should get the amount of money that anybody else in the league is getting. I don't care if it is a quarterback, wide receiver, defensive lineman, linebacker. He should make the kind of money Brett Favre, Marshall Faulk make, because he's that type of player.

The difference between the good players and the great is how long they stay in their prime.

If you don't reach outside what yout resources are, you're not gonna get better as a broadcaster.

If you're going to be a professional you continue to grow.

From a mental standpoint, you can't play this game unless you mentally are clocked in and that's, 'I'm willing to do everything to my body, my mind to put myself so that I can win.'

I think the modern-day wide receiver, I would say that his skill level is not appreciated. It's not just about the numbers. It's the ability to catch the football and put your talent on display.

You have to understand, it takes a lot of qualities to play linebacker - quickness, tackling ability and sheer force - so you just can't take someone from another position and think they could all of a sudden handle that role.
