Dan Rooney Good Quotations

When it went to the one year, I did think it had a good chance to pass. I thought it might make it.

He described how the owners and players should be in this together for the good of the league.

I think he can definitely be as good as Bradshaw. I do think he can be.

I think he can definitely be as good as Bradshaw. He's going to keep improving, keep getting better. Bradshaw was the same way.

I thought it was a good idea, but I wasn't sure how it would be received. That's why it's only on one side of the helmet. Then we took it from there, and we had everybody asking questions and I said, 'Let's keep it that way. It's really a novelty.

It's a tough, expensive agreement. But I think we'll be fine. We'll have to watch our expenses and things like that, and be fiscally responsible. But it's a great thing.

The complaining about Bill was not in Pittsburgh. The fans know it's not our style to be impulsive. This is a tough league, which makes good coaching very meaningful. In a time of parity, when things can happen fast, that's vital.
