Ethan Albright Quotations

I always, always hated it, ... but I was always the only kid on the team who could do it. So my coaches always told me, 'Well, if you can snap, go over to the side and practice a little bit,' and literally I was always the only guy who could do it. So I did it in pee wee, midget, junior high school, high school, college. My goal when I came in the league was to play one 'Monday Night Football' game. Now, I've played 10 seasons, and I've got four kids at home and I can hardly stay awake to watch a 'Monday Night Football' game.

I was the running joke in Miami, they were cutting me and recalling me so many times. I had six or seven termination letters, and there were guys who felt so bad for me they were picking my luggage up for me and putting it in my locker each time.

My brother wouldn't let me just throw it back to him. He taught me how to long snap, and he told me I had to snap the ball back to him every time.

You know, it would have been harder on me had those guys been 10-year vets, ... But they are so young, I just told them that, 'Here's how I snap it and that's where I'm going to keep snapping it.' I pulled rank on them.

The bottom line on this job is easy, ... If I do it right this Sunday, they'll let me come back and do it again next Sunday.

In 12 years of playing, I've never been on a team that won a playoff game. That was awesome. They were singing the fight song. Cars were lined up in the grass out there. There must have been a thousand people around.

and once it leaves their hands it's someone else's problem.
