Randy Cross Quotations

One voice is the only way to go.

Plummer is the Billy Graham of the NFL. He can make 70,000 people say 'Jesus' in unison.

I would say 10 percent of fans understand it, which might be more than the people who do it for a living.

I'd be very surprised if this doesn't become a staple for any network covering the NFL.

I'd be talking to other coaches, and he walked up and joined the conversation.

There are guys you play against or with that you hit who were strong, and then there are guys whose muscles are made of steel. That was Ronnie Lott.

With the comeback of the 3-4 defense, like with Ray Lewis in Baltimore, they've had to learn to play a totally different game. And nobody plays all the time, so obviously they aren't going to have the same impact.

They all come off as the Great Sphinx because they have marching orders about not talking to the media.

You've got what looks like a year-end balance sheet. It's like memorizing an entire Excel file.

It's absolutely incredible, and his retirement should be a celebration more than anything else.

It's one of those things that you can learn to do it well,

If you're a member of this team, you should be proud. But you should also realize that the plans Nick has for the future might not include you.

It has to hurt Miami, as effective as the two back rotation was for them last year. Ronnie looked to be a guy who could handle more responsibility and now he'll have the chance. But it's such a shame. After all the work Ricky put in and all the work the Dolphins put into him, it's sad for a guy who seemed to have his act back together.

Being innovative these days is sometimes having the lack of ego or guts to imitate something. Heck, in the newspaper industry, plagiarism is grounds for firing. In the NFL, you get a raise for doing that.

In real football, I wouldn't want Terrell Owens anywhere near my team. But you're nuts if you don't take him in fantasy.

They're hitting harder now more than ever. The only person who would argue that is someone who has never had a physics class. They're faster and stronger, so the reality is the collisions have to be bigger.

The NFL, like life, is full of idiots.
