Perhaps more than any other injury description, the following words have echoed more frequently year after year across high school, college and professional football fields during practice and games—He only "got his bell rung," he’ll be okay. But contemp
Judging from the recent epidemic of yoga scandals involving sex on the mat, there is obviously something wrong with me. That’s because after 15 years of practicing yoga, I have never been sexually harassed on the mat. Never. Not once. Not even close. Sev

These guys learn the game plan, learn the offense, the defense, the players
I don’t know where this goes. We’ll just have to sit back and talk about it during the offseason, and hopefully they’ll make some decisions on how we can make some sense of this to the players. They almost have to take their helmets off. You almost have to play with no helmets, or at least I think John ...
It was an embarrassment to the game ... There’s a lot of ways to play hard, to play tough, to play aggressive, to do all those things. But after the play is over to do that, that doesn’t fall into the category of anything that has to do with football.
Coaches like Paterno will make a lot of money for the school and the school board of trustees will look the other way until the day comes when they can’t ... That day has come at Penn State. John Madden once told me, winning is a great deoderant. But in Penn State’s case, no amount of winning is going t...
I’m impressed with what the Raiders do ... They get a lot of injuries, and instead of talking about you know, ‘woe is me, this guy can’t play, that guy can’t play,’ they just take what they have and go out and play the game like they have to to win.
I think they ought to wear knee and thigh pads ... To be concerned about safety and having those guys go out there with half their pads on makes no damn sense to me at all.
If I was the parent of a child at the preschool, I would be upset
I think it's something that has to be studied and reviewed
I think we assume a lot of penalties means you’re a dirty team ... But I watch the Raiders and they have a lot of like offsides, illegal motion, those types of things. And those things can be cleaned up… If you eliminate all that stuff… I think they could easily cut their penalties in half.
That’s about as tough as it can get
For the Eagles to win they needed to protect Vince Young, and they did a great job of that against the Giants
Inch for inch, Flutie in his prime was the best quarterback of his generation.
It’s how you come out in the end ... You have a script, or you have ideas, or you have what you call starters, and your starters work. And then sometimes your starters don’t work. So you have to go to your adjustments… You could tell that the Patriots were getting a little frustrated early there, but th...
He doesn’t want to be a black eye on the league, and he shouldn’t be ... Fans are going to yell stuff at you when you’re on the road and you just have to kind of put your head down and keep going. You can’t have rabbit ears… You don’t react to what fans say when you’re going on and off the field.
Even though you put in some new safety rules, it’s still a violent game
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.
I think both the 49ers and Raiders could both walk into one this weekend ... Not that they’re going to lose, but (to say) ‘Minnesota’s not very good, Arizona’s not very good, therefore they’ll be blowouts…’ not so fast. I don’t think that’s going to happen.
All the pundits have to tell you what’s going to happen before it happens ... Once they make a statement, then they start routing for that to happen. And then when it doesn’t happen, they get defensive, and then they get mad.
Some purists think you know that’s not fair, you can’t do that, he’ll never be an NFL quarterback, you have to be a passer, this kid doesn’t have a chance ... I’m as much a purist as anyone, but I kind of enjoy someone that gets the job done anyway you can get it done… I think we’re going to see more an...
If only a face could talk
It’s easier to get up for the teams that are supposed to beat you ... The teams that you know are kind of struggling, those are the ones that can sometimes jump up and surprise you.
I watch the Packers and I see what they do offensively… It’s all about passing and all about pass protection
I think the Giants, being a very good team and a solid team, was a big test (for the 49ers) ... The Giants have been Super Bowl winners lately, come from that tough NFC East, (are) always competitive. And it was kind of ‘let’s see how you do against the big guys.’ And they did very well against the big ...
