Football is, after all, a wonderful way to get rid of your aggressions without going to jail for it.

My brother and I were still in high school playing football, and we were both middleweight, and we couldn't find anyone else to fight in our weight class, so we'd fight each other. I was a stand-up fighter, and Ike was a weaving type of fighter, and we fought that way out there at Cy Young's farm, and we put on quite a show.

The players fire the coach, and as long as I'm on the same wavelength with them, I can coach as long as I want to.

I speak at a lot of banquets in small towns, because small towns have so many great people.

The five big mistakes in football are the fumble, the interception, the penalty, the badly called play, the blocked punt - and most of these originate with the quarterback. Find a mistake-proof quarterback and you have this game won.
