Super Quotations | Page 6

I think all the guys that have played in the game before me as African- Americans have to share in this a little bit. We've made tremendous strides over the years and I really don't want to make this a racial thing because it shouldn't be. But it is significant because it is the first and I think whenever there is a first it is significant. When Doug Williams was the first African-American quarterback to win a Super Bowl, I think that helped a lot of things as far as young black quarterbacks getting more opportunities. I think this will be significant also. It shows we have arrived at the pinnacle of our sport.

I think anybody who can look at it in a common-sense manner - they went from a Super Bowl team to a 4-4 team that's in last place in the division. And there's probably a lot of reasons for that, but I think the more glaring reason is the controversy that's gone on since the Super Bowl.

I think an XL shirt might be a little too small for Jerome, but Super Bowl Forty is a good size for him. It's just a great opportunity.

I think a really rich world to live in is where you're thinking in terms of human behavior and human types and not being super literal. In order to see the deeper truth, you need to break out of literal frame of mind.

I think it was a good mix (of fans). I saw a lot of New Orleans fans up there and people that came over from the state of Louisiana and Mississippi. I thought the reception was outstanding. I forgot about the kickoff when all the flashes went off. I thought we were at the Super Bowl.

It gives us something to fight for. They felt they won the Super Bowl after they beat us. They were the better team then, but I think we can turn the tables.

It gets the serotonin working, and it's not super taxing. It puts life in perspective. You see things passing by and the majesty and timelessness of world. And it's totally free. Taking a book or a CD player or reading or writing for few hours is really taking nice care of yourself. When you're in a relationship you don't get around to doing that.

It had such a profound affect on me as a 9-year-old that it made me want to make films. The next day I got my parents' Super 8 movie camera and started to do stop-motion animation with a clay dinosaur.

I thank the faculty and administration and students for their support over the years. We have super teachers who are quality people to work with.

It has been a heck of a ride. We get the opportunity to go down in history among some of the greatest players. This is what the Super Bowl is all about.

I think that's why people like me. I'm not trying to stand out like a super hero.

It isn't my Super Bowl of racing like it is for a lot of people. I didn't grow up in stock cars. I was an open-wheel guy.

I think that's more of a compliment to the offenses I've been part of. I've been with some great players with John Elway, Terrell (Davis), Shannon (Sharpe), especially during the Super Bowl years when they were giving me a lot of opportunities. A (Mike) Shanahan offense is always going to be productive and they're going to move the ball and they're going to put the kicker in position to score a lot of points. It's more of a tribute to them than it is to me.

I think that is probably how he'll be judged in the short run. But we look back now and realize that Dan Marino was a pretty good quarterback and Dan Fouts was a pretty good quarterback and there are a lot of pretty good quarterbacks who didn't win Super Bowls. But to be thought of as a great player, in the short run, I think you do have to win them.

It is like writing the game plan for the Super Bowl the day after it was played.

It is like sending out the quarter back from the Super Bowl to work with the high school team.

It is motivation for us, but that's just a glimpse of our season. Every game we've been the underdogs, and people have not picked us to do well and have thought that we've been lucky the whole year and that we would never make it to the Super Bowl. Here we are, and we're here to show the world that we're a good team and that we're the best.

Life's great for me. Expectations are low. I've got a Super Bowl ring on one finger and a $14 million contract in the other hand. We're doing it, we're doing OK. Life's good.

I was working as an art and tech researcher in '84. At that time there had been a small government program of assistance for artists for at least three or four years. I was working with Super 8 film then. And video in '85 and public radio in the early '80s.

I went from being married to living on my own in L.A., to having a new boyfriend and just being totally self-sufficient and super independent. It's awesome. I love it!

I was a dancer from about the age of four, so I was always performing and forcing my parents to watch my brother and I do 'Jesus Christ Super Star' in the living room. My first step was community theater, and then I started to do films.

I want to win some Super Bowls, and so that's really my focus, to do whatever I have to do to lead this team to a championship,

I want to win. I want to get deep in the playoffs and go to the Super Bowl. The Eagles have established themselves as a team that consistently is going to be successful.

I was actually at my house -- the house I'm building -- sweeping up trash during the Super Bowl. I went home, took a shower, got something to eat, read a book, went to sleep and then I woke up and it was over. I checked to see who won.

I was just disappointed. You know, Adam has been a big part of this team for a number of years and his game-winning kicks, Super Bowl kicks, and all that, so he will be missed by his teammates, but it's just the nature of the business. He will be forever etched in the memories of New England sports fans.

I think the true football fan will have plenty to watch on Super Bowl Sunday. The chance to see two quality defenses go at it is a part of football.

I think there will be opportunities for me, as I've talked preliminarily with the networks. I wanted to do the Super Bowl to see if I enjoyed it. It will all be sorted out soon.

I think there is a real misconception about Indian food being super spicy. And I know that's because when you go into an Indian restaurant, it is pretty spicy. But it doesn't have to be. In fact, my husband can't handle a lot of heat. I've had to temper my cooking so that he can eat with me.

Just for the Super Bowl, they want to pick up the homeless and get us out of the way? They want us to get on a bus so they can take us away to Pontiac or someplace.

Just as Muslim newspapers the world over continue to print disgusting cartoons about Jews and then riot when very mild cartoons about Islam are printed, Hayes has a clear double standard. Here's hoping. Down with the Super Adventure Club!.

Jerome has just meant so much to us. For him to go out the way he went out (as a Super Bowl champion), if I was retiring and my career was towards the end, that's how I would want to go out.

Jerome has inspired each individual on this team in some form or way. He kind of inspires us to go out and play hard so we can get him that Super Bowl ring and end on a great note.

Jeff's the coach. The only thing that might happen is that I could be there for the final week of the Super 14 when it's time for the debriefings.

Jeff is such a super player. We just have to keep him focused. He had the best 32 minutes of his career, and he's just starting to get rolling.

Last year at the Super Bowl, a guy came up and said, 'Do you have tickets? He said, 'Are you friends with Big Mike' - I swear to God this is true - 'from Minnesota?' And I was thinking, 'Well, I lived in Minnesota for a while, and I'm sure I knew a guy named Big Mike.' And it was one of those undercover investigators. I'm glad I didn't sell him my Fox tickets.

I think every year there are dark horses that jump onto the scene. It's just facts. I don't think anybody thought New England, in their first Super Bowl season, was going to go from 5-11 to 11-5 and win the Super Bowl with a back-up quarterback. I don't believe anybody thought we were going to do it either. That's just this game.

I see an extremely promotional shopping environment. I've advised my retail clients to be super aggressive Thanksgiving weekend. Retailers don't want to do it from a margin perspective, but otherwise they won't see shoppers in stores. Consumers have less money to spend and they'll take their 'less money' elsewhere.

I saw that team take the growing pains and get to the playoffs, then win the division. I want to be here to see us win three or four Super Bowls. That's my only goal. So for me, I'm like, 'OK. If you guys are handling that side of it, call me when it's really, really ready to get done.' But as of right now, I'm going to try to do everything I can to get this team to the Super Bowl.

I said all week long I had total confidence in Rich. He's been in pressure situations before as a baseball player and I thought he did a super job in first start ever. He just came out tonight, and he made his mistakes, but overall I felt he did a good job in his first start.

I salute and praise the people in Shreveport for having this bowl for 30 years. I know it's not always easy keeping these things alive, but I think the Independence Bowl is the 11th-oldest bowl in the country, so they have done a super job here.

I said to the players that their accomplishment is extraordinary in winning three of four Super Bowls. But they know as well as anybody that a bounce of the ball here or a missed tackle there or a tackle that was made by grabbing a guy's jersey, those are the small margins of victory.

I respect where I came from. There's some sensitivity and there's some emotion to see Oakland play in the Super Bowl ... it would be an honor to play them.

Otherwise, the media will continue to serve as a kind of sexual super peer that doesn't have the best interests of young people in mind.

Our kids really played well. The atmosphere was great. I hoped the fans would show up and give us a Super Regional-type atmosphere. And I really thought that's what that was.

Our infield should be pretty strong. We don't have anybody who is super flashy but we have guys that will make the plays.

Over the past few years, this team has done some tremendous things, and hopefully I can be the piece of that puzzle to move them a little further. I missed out on a Super Bowl ring last year, and I'm very excited about being here, because I think the possibility of obtaining one here is beyond our wildest dreams.

Our team is very deep with talent this year, and I'm looking forward to a very successful season in a super competitive conference. Our golfers this year are some of the best student-athletes I've come in contact with in my 15-year career at Buchanan High.

Our Super Bowl VI that we won was the biggest game because it took a lot of pressure off. It was enormously satisfying because we won the game and it was a nucleus of players who had grown up together, always losing the big ones. Started out with nothing and we were still together, and it was really, really neat.

Our flight was super delayed from London. There was a minute where we though it was only going to cancel.

Our galaxy's pretty ordinary, garden-variety. So if we believe our galaxy has a super massive black hole, that tells us that most, if not all, galaxies host such a black hole at their centers.

Over $2.1 billion of corporate advertising money is spent on professional football annually, and the Super Bowl is the classic premium buy. Corporations are willing to spend $2.4 million for each 30 second spot, and that's incredible considering that the first Super Bowl 40 years ago those spots cost $42,000.

Our audience is looking for an alternative to the Super Bowl halftime show and we felt that the new MTV2 fit the bill perfectly,

Roberts told him, 'You broke into my home and stole two Super Bowl rings and a bracelet and I want them back or you tell me who did it,'

Retailers look forward to the Super Bowl every year, knowing that it means big business.

Pittsburgh was a great team. Coach Noll, Joe Greene, Jack Lambert, L.C. Greenwood and all those guys did a great job. That's the team that kept us from winning two Super Bowls. It was a great rivalry.

'Pitch Perfect 2,' those scenes are super fun. It's just me and John Michael Higgins, and we've been friends for so long, we just have the best time. Anything I do with him is some of my favorite stuff.

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.

Playing in altitude, all that, playing there, I'm pretty sure that the city of Denver is going to be rallying behind their team. It's one game away from the Super Bowl. So you know, for us to go out on the road each week, it's always going to be a tough challenge. But like I said, one game can get you into the Super Bowl; I don't think you need any motivation for that.

Our research shows that for events like the Super Bowl, (groups) are often gathering in the home of an HDTV owner.

Our long-term plan is to make India a super power in soccer in Asia.

Our No. 1 goal is to get to the Super Bowl. But we want to get over that hump, and that can start (today) in Jacksonville.

Our mission is to win a Super Bowl. And we know we've got a very, very tough team in front of us. New England has won about 13 straight and they're playing the best ball of anybody in the league. Going up there is going to be tough. We know what the challenge is, but we're not going to be satisfied just getting to the championship game. We think we've got a team that can win it.

Stevens is very good. They have every body back from last year and they were good last year. The Central match was nip and tuck. We lost three out of four super tie-breakers.

Steamboat's strength is not downhill, for lack of experience, but our athletes skied very well in the event. All of the Steamboat athletes moved up from their start position in both the downhill and super G. Now that the speed portion of the event is over, we are focusing on the (technical) events, where Steamboat is much stronger.

Statistics are one thing, but at the same time, when the game is on and it's kickoff time, you never know how anyone is gong to react. You have older quarterbacks. Peyton Manning hasn't won a Super Bowl; he's an experienced quarterback. It doesn't really matter, it just depends on how you play that day.

Some of those teams (we played during the season) are here today. It proved very valuable to their efforts. I'm just super proud of them.

Some guys never get to a Super Bowl, and then there are people like Danny Marino who get there in their second year and don't get back.

That blew our minds. Even if we debuted in the Top 10, we would've been super excited. But we were almost in the Top 5. And then come to find out we broke records. That was pretty amazing.

That black looks so good when you're out there playing. I'd rather have the black. If I'm going to the Super Bowl, I want to be wearing the black.

That doesn't surprise me. Last week, I was on the show and they were lined up at noon. So 10 a.m. is about right for the Super Bowl.

That arc of conflict has created a sort of regional super failed-state that terrorists and criminals have used to base their operations and to exploit the very precious diamond resources there.

My only hesitation after 'Law & Order' was that I didn't want to be in a super dry procedural like that. I found that satisfying, but very tough because every episode was kind of the same. It just is with that show.

My parents are both super funny, and I always knew I wanted to be on 'SNL.' My mom and I would watch it a lot.

Lloyd was one of the main reasons we were in the first Super Bowl and won the fourth one. He was out of sight. Without him we don't make it.

March is so close. It's kind of surreal right now that we're in the Super Bowl and we lost, but I definitely feel like I'm about to have some of the greatest years of my life. To not have a real home yet, it's a weird feeling.

Mass TV audiences are quickly becoming a rarity, so events like the Super Bowl will always be important for advertisers. Live TV seems to be the new prime time, with DVR users far less likely to skip ads and record programs for later viewing.

Lisa is a great goal scorer. She scores every time I watch her play. Her best traits are that she is super competitive, tough and does all the hard work to get a goal. Many of her goals come from following shots, getting a piece of a cross or pestering backs to win a ball.

literally launching their company and introducing them to the nation with a Super Bowl ad.

I will tell you this, if we win the Super Bowl, it doesn't matter if we finish 31st in the league. The games never have to be close in my mind, so long as we keep scoring 40 a game.

I won FLW Angler of the Year, and BASS Angler of the year three times, but there is no comparison to winning a Classic. It is kind of sad, because winning Angler of the Year is harder than winning a Classic. But it is just like football; the Super Bowl is the deal.

I won a Super Bowl with Tebucky Jones,

It feels great today, I'll tell you that. The coach already told me we're going to the Super Bowl to win it, not just to be there.

I think really that if they can get back to playing games by the Super Bowl, which is when an awful lot of people turn and look at basketball for the first time, if they can do that, I don't think there will be any damage whatsoever.

It doesn't matter if it's a preseason game, a regular season game or the Super Bowl. (Fans) don't care, they want to win. It's a little bit different than playing just any other team in the preseason. This is a big deal.

I tell people it's like playing golf in the middle of the Super Bowl.

I tell you, my wife and I can't be happier (to be back). And I know we're going to stay here until we get this program resolved and back to the Super Bowl.

I think if you look around the league at the linemen that are in the Hall of Fame, they are there because the teams they played on were very successful. And if you look at Russ Grimm, he's been to four Super Bowls. There's a reason why you get to four Super Bowls.

I think if we've talked about anything it's that we're not going to approach this as any other week, as any different game. Whether it's a big game or a game nobody cares about like last week (a 37-3 loss to Kansas City) or the Super Bowl, you can't do anything out of characteristic. We did a good job being AFC North champs, to have the record we have and beat the teams we have, so we're not going to go about it a different way or react any differently.

I think he's doing a good job for us overall. Hopefully he can keep that up. And Michael's been playing super off the bench. He's playing great defense, getting a lot of offensive boards, and he's been a catalyst a little bit on the offensive end because we can throw it down to him in the post.

I think he's a great player. I can't speak for Brad, but I think if it would be me, it'd be motivation. He's taken three different teams to the playoffs, one to the Super Bowl, and he's been to the Pro Bowl on two different teams. At some point, even Rodney Dangerfield gets some respect.

I think he did a super job. He left the program in much better shape than when he took over.

I think he cannot play against CSKA Sofia but I hope he will be fit for CSKA Moscow (in the European Super Cup on Friday).

I think it will be technically feasible to have a large-size OLED TV by Super Bowl 50.

I think Mike works hard and has a lot of responsibilities. They went to the Super Bowl this year, and I think he needs a little time off. I didn't think it was driven by the calls on Super Bowl Sunday, I really didn't.

I think last year was made more dramatic than it really was to me and Mike. Everybody in this whole organization, their big goal is to win a bunch of games, go undefeated here at home, get to the Super Bowl and see what happens. When everybody has that as their goal, it eliminates all the other personal goals.

I thought I came back to win a Super Bowl. But I found out in the middle of last season that's not what I came back for. I came back for these men inside the locker room. It wasn't about playing with those guys, it was about allowing those guys to see the man behind the persona.

I thought it all added up when Super Bowl 36 was at our doorstep. It was the AFC championship and it was in New Orleans, Super Bowl 36. It didn't happen.

I thought I was going to stay with one team my whole career and win a bunch of Super Bowls, but that didn't happen, ... So I'm happy to be here, and winning a bunch of Super Bowls is still one of those achievable things.

I think the Super Bowl is going to be in the next couple of years the difference between possibly winning or losing a season.

I think the Super Bowl actually helps people understand what a sports team can do for a community in terms of coalescing that community. We hope to be back in your championship in a very short time. So, I think it's helpful.
