Phil Simms Quotations

I haven't thought about it. I'm not capable of deep thinking.

I criticize a lot of players and coaches. But I back it up with facts. A lot of times guys get mad at me because someone told them what I said. I say, 'You're wrong: Go check the tape.

Sometimes, it's good to have a tremendous star, because everyone understands he has to get the ball.

I'm not a guy that believes you've got to have a lot of experience to have success in the playoffs.

Of course it looks bad when you're not executing. When things go bad, it's not going to look good.

Talk radio has almost ruined the sports fan.

Would it be a surprise to you if I said the Dallas Cowboys? ... I liked what I saw of the Cowboys in the preseason. I liked their schemes. I liked their energy.

When you're angry, you're grinding at what you're doing all week. You pay attention. Sometimes when you feel good about yourself, you don't cross a few T's.

Make Denver make the decision here. In other words, put pressure on Mike Shanahan. What's he gonna do? Is he gonna run it and maybe waste a down because it might not gain a lot of yards, or does he take the chance and throw it and if it's incomplete it stops the clock. That's what the Patriots are hoping for.

Of course Steve McNair is not going to get paid like Tom Brady and Michael Vick, but so what? But he should get his, and it shouldn't crush the football team.

No one else knew him like the Jets did. And it's important that you hire people you know sometimes because it gives everyone in the organization a level of comfort. You know this person has the level of belief in the things you want carried out.

Whatever it takes to make yourself a little angry.

What impresses me is the energy it takes, emotionally and physically, to constantly do that. To do that in a game, that means you've got to do it in practice, too. What if he's under the weather a bit one week?

He can stay relaxed and throw the ball down the field better than anybody in the NFL.

I said things to Bill that were so cruel and so over the top and so out of place that I couldn't repeat them. One curse word after another, horrendously negative, hateful things.

Playing well and winning the Super Bowl helped my credibility. Otherwise, when I'd give an opinion, people would say, 'What has he done?' If I didn't win that Super Bowl, I'd probably be coaching somewhere. TV would not be an option for me. So, (winning the Super Bowl) does help.

Look at the two New York quarterbacks, Joe Namath and myself. We've done a lot with one damn game. That's just the truth.

It has rained 20 straight days. Are you willing to bet it's not going to rain the 21st?

Why will T.O. and Bill work? Why will T.O. and Bill work?

Winning a Super Bowl gives you a bigger chip in the game, and people perceive you to be better than you are. It gives you a stronger voice in the game. For a young quarterback, it verifies to the organization and to your teammates how good he is and that he's the man that can lead them. He'll carry that tag forever.

Bill and I have never talked about it to this day, ... except for one little thing he said to me a few years ago: 'You are so lucky you didn't come.'

Everyone's trying to find reasons why the Patriots can't do it, ... Here we go again. I'm sure all across America today fans are saying, 'This is it this is going to finally get the Patriots.'

Did they time it up right? Is the offense the same, or will it take a step back?

I've seen a difference in him and I can't tell you how impressed I was the way he was in Indianapolis. I hate to compare, but he does have one thing in common with Tom Brady. They have a tremendous sense of being calm on the field. It shows. He doesn't get rattled and that's pretty unique for a second-year player like him.

The team performed even better than I thought they would,

They have a tremendous sense of being calm on the field.

There is unbelievable freedom for an analyst to be in a two-man booth, ... In a two-man booth, Troy will be able to set up a game. He will decide what he wants to show and teach an audience. It's like a quarterback being able to call his own plays.

There's an unbelievable freedom that comes to an analyst when he's in a two-man booth, ... ... It would be like a quarterback going into a game and calling all the plays that he wants.

It was a rough weekend. I don't know which was the worst call. There were a lot of them that creep into my mind.

The NFL Today. Mike Shanahan knows, at best, he's got this possession and - maybe - one more.

The NFL is about winning games late. They had opportunities many, many times (and) they did win a few of them the Jets come to mind. But they just didn't make the plays at the right time that they did the year before.

That's the favorite question. Everyone wants to know what the surprise team will be.

Not changing ruined Buddy Ryan . He wouldn't change from the 46 defense, even when people figured it out. Not Bill. He changes every year.

I'm not sure, and I've done quite a few of his games. How much is he bluffing? How much is real? I know over the years, a couple of teams have cracked his code. They knew exactly what he was doing. But that's only good for one game. He changes his stuff a lot.

I liked the energy I saw in preseason, ... It had a different feel to it.

I'm happy for him. I believe in his talent. I believe it's evident.

I didn't realize he can throw garbage pretty good. Yeah, he's a trash-talker. You wouldn't believe it looking at him, the voice of CBS golf. I do it a lot, and I was surprised at how much he slings it back.

He's the perfect quarterback for a team that likes to run it. Because he's big enough to stand there and shake off tacklers and get 4- and 5-yard passes off, which you need to do a lot of when you're a running team because you're in a lot of third downs.

He's a more rested quarterback this year. He admitted it; he was tired last year.

He's not the same guy we saw last year. He's healthy and vibrant again, and his arm is fresh.

As a quarterback, can you throw it where you are looking?

The more angles I see, the more confused I get.

Ray Rice was beat up last year

Too much thinking is a bad thing sometimes.

You better...buckle uh down and then tighten up to stop this passing game

Hardly anything wrong can go bad.

People go, 'Hey, did you do anything special for the Super Bowl?' Well no, I like to think I do the same amount of work every week getting ready for a game.

Remember, for it to be a forward pass, it's got to go forward.

Playing well and winning the Super Bowl helped my credibility. Otherwise, when Id give an opinion, people would say, What has he done? If I didnt win that Super Bowl, Id probably be coaching somewhere. TV would not be an option for me. So, (winning the Super Bowl) does help.

I don't care what you think of Michael Vick - whether you think he's being mistreated or misused, or just think he's not that good, whatever. He can play for my team any day

So many QBs throw the ball down the field, that's wrong. Watch Aaron Rodger throw it up the field

The Denver Broncos are all child molesters
