football forget guy hate hell incredible steve stop study system throw unique
He has incredible acceleration, stop-and-start quickness. You do not forget that sometimes that he can stop and throw that ball. There is not a guy like him that I have seen. I used to think Steve Young revolutionized the system of football that I always study with his unique scrambling ability. I hate to tell Steve Young this, but this guy is a hell of a lot faster.
close early far fitting game hate historic landmark lived morning offices recall saw stadium three time underneath veterans
Veterans Stadium is a historic landmark as far as I'm concerned. I hate to see that place go. I lived under the Vet for three years. ... Our offices at that time were underneath Veterans Stadium. I can recall a lot of interesting things I saw early in the morning underneath the Vet. They were crawling. ... I think it's fitting for Veterans Stadium to close with an NFC Championship Game of this magnitude.

hate men bullshit
You know what I hate, man? Guys that you know haven't seen the film: they just quote a bunch of statistical bullshit.
game
I thought the play of the game was Kenyatta on the interception.
good guys
I thought these guys battled and did some good things.
added careless couple deserve errors good great guys half handled minnesota noise nose offensive second tackle
I thought those guys battled. They did some good things. Minnesota has a very good front. They've added a great nose tackle (Pat Williams) from Buffalo. ... I thought (our offensive line) handled the noise at times pretty good. I thought we had some careless errors - a couple of penalties, particularly in the second half - but those guys deserve a lot of credit.

beaten consistent dark darn fairly football forward game good horses jump looking onto running seeing talented teams throughout year
I think we have beaten some pretty darn good football teams and have been fairly consistent throughout the year. We've got a talented defense. We have a good running game and we are looking forward to seeing what we can do. Every year there are dark horses that jump onto the scene.
favorable goes impact possession run time
It goes hand-in-hand, ... You run the ball, you're going to have time of possession and it is going to have a favorable impact on the defense.
won
Jiminy Christmas, 1989 is as long time, ... That's what we're up against. We haven't won there in forever. I don't even know where I was in 1989.
anybody believe bowl dark horses jump onto super win year
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.
good great hit home running saw signs
I saw some good signs that we can be a good running team. Who knows? If we hit some home runs, we could be a great running team.
bowl came emotion honor respect super
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.
