Shaun Alexander Super Quotations

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.

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.

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.

We know it is there. It is one of those things - our goal is to not just win a game, but it is to get to the Super Bowl. That is just another streak that has to come to an end. We are going to have to prepare and get ready to play a great game for that to happen.

When I started here, we went 6-10 and watched other teams dance on our field to our music. I've seen us go from a team people laughed at to a team people have to respect. Now we're at the Super Bowl trying to build a dynasty.

It's a rival. It will be a little more exciting for me, probably, than some of the other guys -- besides the fact that it is the Super Bowl.

I told Clinton I want him to rush for 2,000 yards. And I want our team to go to the Super Bowl and win it. I've been there and not won it. It's really simple for me. You get stats, fame and fortune, but if you don't end up with the ring you're never satisfied.

Anytime you lose, it's a terrible feeling. This was an exciting opportunity. I definitely think that if I come back to Seattle we'll be back. ... Where's the Super Bowl next year? Miami? Yeah, Miami's good.

I'm not saying it's right or wrong, but if you just set one goal -- 'We're destroying everyone and winning the Super Bowl' -- then that's just it. It's win or lose.

I'd take a Super Bowl victory and just a bit of Paul Allen's money.
