John Foxe Quotations

We know we're in a dogfight every time we come here,

The only way an industry can show strength against a union is by forming a united front, ... Nothing unusual there. But I do think the union's going to take a tough stance. Where this shakes out, I don't know. We're still in the early posturing stages.

Last year was our first opportunity (to be on MNF) in quite some time. Hopefully, we'll learn from that and understand what's at stake there. The whole world is watching. There's no question all of your peers are watching. It's something that guys should gear up for, and I think we'll learn from that experience last year.

On account of this mandate, many eminent persons in the church and state fell martyrs to the ignorance and ferocity of the pagans.

Ricky's a good locker-room guy. He knows the skills of the trade. I think he's helped some of our young receivers and he's helped our football team on the field.

I felt going into those playoffs that we hadn't thrown the ball very well and for us to make a run we had to throw the ball better. This year, coming into the playoffs, I think it was reversed. We had thrown the ball much better, but we had to run the ball more efficiently.

He is as tough a competitor as you can find at any position. He does well home or away.

To come here and win against a very good football team is a tough duty for any team, so we're ready to move on.

He's a guy that we've been trying to get out there for the whole season. He's coming off a knee (injury), and we wanted to bring him along slowly. We think he's gotten there. He's a big, tall target that can run fast.

Jake has the mind-set. He's pretty big in big spots.

Our guys fought and had an opportunity to win. It was a good feeling until it was ruled that we roughed the kicker. I feel bad for them.

Rodney Peete is a guy that has played in this league for quite some time. He has a lot of the intangibles that you are looking for at the quarterback position.

Steve's been making big plays for us all year long, and we're going to need him to keep doing it with these last two weeks coming up here. He's been our big-play guy all season long, and he stepped up again today.

Which prophecy of Christ we see wonderfully to be verified, insomuch that the whole course of the Church to this day may seem nothing else but a verifying of the said prophecy.

You'd like to keep everybody. The reality, though, with free agency and the salary cap, is that you're not able to,

We learned by our last trip here (a 13-3 loss in November) that you don't want to start behind. We started 10-0 very quickly. The main thing we wanted to accomplish this time was to start fast.

We obviously got beat by a better team. I'm not sure what the problem was. Their defense played tremendous.

We have guys that have done it before in the playoffs and that certainly helps.

We did a variety of things. Nothing that hasn't been tried before.

We think it's better. We've done it before. A lot of people like to leave a day early, but going from east to west you don't need to. We'll stay on East Coast time, conduct our meetings the same as usual. And we just like it better.

We didn't play as well as we're capable of. It was a disappointing area of the game.

Crowd noise is definitely a factor, and I think they've had more procedure penalties in that stadium this year than any other stadium. But I can't think it can by any louder than what we've been practicing in.

The staple is going to be the preparation, guys getting ready to play and understanding that we're playing a very talented team at their place in a hostile environment. It's a huge order, but it's doable.

They had the ball too much. We never generated anything offensively.

It was emotional. We're a rivalry. There's no mystery to that.

I told them that we had played about as bad as we could play, and the good news was that we were down only 13 points. We just didn't play very well. We needed to play a lot better in the second half.

Each of the seventeen tribunals during a long period burned annually, on an average, ten miserable beings!

Nothing whatsoever. We only scored three points last time, so I didn't expect them to do much different and they didn't.

Shaun is a bigger player. They play very similar, as far as they like to cut the ball back.

I'm sure they're going to double (cover) him. They utilized something very similar against Santana Moss against Washington. Exactly how they do it, they'll mix it up, man under, zone under. But the other option is you send pressure and then hopefully your pressure covers any receiver. It's nothing we haven't seen before.

In my opinion, he should have been in the MVP voting with his regular season performance. I think he just proved his value to us today.

In this league, you lose your close games and you're 7-9. You win your close games and you're 10-6, 11-5. That's just the way it is. There's no question this league is clumped.

If you watch us play, Steve Smith is involved quite a bit.

I had a good run there as an assistant coach. You are always going to have fond memories of places where you had success. As far as what it means in this exact game, this will be a tough game against a good football team at their place ... in a hostile environment. It's a huge order but it's doable.

Hopefully, we won't draw too much from it, because that was a 24-14 loss, ... Hopefully, it's something that we've learned from. Last year was our first opportunity in quite some time. Hopefully, we'll learn from that and understand what's at stake there. The whole world is watching. There's no question all of your peers are watching. It's something that guys should gear up for, and I think we'll learn from that experience last year.

I don't know if we ran out of gas. I'm not sure what the problem was. Their defense played tremendous. We knew we'd have our hands full with their offense.

I believe it will end up requiring surgery. It's an injury that we feel better about with surgery. It's a break that they'll get fixed up after Seattle. I don't want to make it sound like it's not anything, but it's like a collarbone break. You get the bone back together and it heals and you move on. It's not a joint injury.

The main thing was we weren't able to run the ball.

The emperor Domitian, who was naturally inclined to cruelty, first slew his brother, and then raised the second persecution against the Christians.

The first drive he had the pass interference call. The deep ball to Chambers, he's right there, that guy made the play and he didn't. He made a great play in the end zone for an interception. So like most of us, when you end up a little short, we've all got some room for improvement. But I don't think one guy or one play is the difference in that game.

The league's already addressed that. Until the rules change as far as cut blocking and the legality of it, those things are going to continue to happen.

A defence in the Inquisition is of little use to the prisoner, for a suspicion only is deemed sufficient cause of condemnation, and the greater his wealth the greater his danger.

With his continual doctrine [Bishop Hooper] adjoined due and discreet correction, not so much severe to any as to them which for abundance of riches and wealthy state thought they might do what they listed. And doubtless he spared no kind of people, but was indifferent to all men, as well rich as poor, to the great shame of no small number of men nowadays. Whereas many we see so addicted to the pleasing of great and rich men, that in the meantime they have no regard to the meaner sort of poor people, whom Christ hath bought as dearly as the other.

A Protestant has seldom any mercy shown him, and a Jew, who turns Christian, is far from being secure.

The pope being informed of the great increase of Protestantism, in the year 1542 sent inquisitors to Venice to make an inquiry into the matter, and apprehend such as they might deem obnoxious persons.

The first persecution of the Church took place in the year 67, under Nero, the sixth emperor of Rome.

A prisoner in the Inquisition is never allowed to see the face of his accuser, or of the witnesses against him, but every method is taken by threats and tortures, to oblige him to accuse himself, and by that means corroborate their evidence.

The Gospel having spread itself into Persia, the pagan priests, who worshipped the sun, were greatly alarmed, and dreaded the loss of that influence they had hitherto maintained over the people's minds and properties.

But, though persecuting malice raged, yet the Gospel shone with resplendent brightness; and, firm as an impregnable rock, withstood the attacks of its boisterous enemies with success.

Princes, kings, and other rulers of the world have used all their strength and cunning against the Church, yet it continues to endure and hold its own.

When the Christians, upon these occasions, received martyrdom, they were ornamented, and crowned with garlands of flowers; for which they, in heaven, received eternal crowns of glory.
