Ronnie Lott Quotations

Jerry always told me that he never played the perfect game. In his mind, that's a lofty deal. A lot of people would take a few of his games as perfection.

I'm not interested in being a GM. My passion is doing the things I'm doing with the asset-management company ... and my car dealerships.

If Michael Jordan was the standard for hard work in basketball, then Jerry Rice is the standard for football, ... If there's a way to go out for Jerry, this is probably the right way. The gas is out of the tank. He did everything that he could. Most people didn't think he would have the impact that he did on this game. But he came into the league trying to make a team, and that's how he's leaving.

You could see the excitement. He was more excited about that than on that last drive going down against Denver. What you're finding is that he's making plays. He's just doing it in another platform. He's trying to make plays. It's kinda hard to turn off.

The last two years have been a wake-up call for him. A wake-up call to be around his boys, to have fun, to be a great dad, to be like his dad was to him.

I'm a person who really doesn't dwell on the past.

I don’t think Ed Reed has to take a back seat to anybody who ever played the position. ANYBODY.

The body is consuming energy when tense, and restoring energy when it is relaxed.

Art Monk was an example for Jerry Rice. That's what Jerry always told me.

The greatest owner in professional sports history is Eddie DeBartolo.

As a matter of a fact, though, I've never actually played a video game where I've played as myself.

Trying to be the best. Failing. Getting back up. Those characteristics are going to allow you to make great decisions. They are going to allow you to compete. They are going to allow you to achieve your best. That's the American dream.

To me, it didn't matter where I played, I just wanted to play well.

Most people would say safety was my best position. To me, the biggest challenge and most gratifying thing I got out of playing football was playing corner, because it was a bigger challenge than playing safety. Playing corner provided me my biggest thrills and my biggest headaches.

I mean, it's not important what kind of pants you wear; it's how you wear them.

If I was going to play offense, I'd love to play running back. In high school I played quarterback and wide receiver, but I wouldn't mind running over some folks.

If you can believe it, the mind can achieve it.
