We need the quarterbacks. It's a passing league and a quarterback-driven league. We need the Peyton Mannings in football uniforms out there playing - the Tom Bradys, the Drew Breeses, the Philip Riverses - we need those guys instead of them standing on the sideline.
From John Madden
If you see a defense team with dirt and mud on their backs they've had a bad day.
That's the biggest gap in sports, the difference between the winner and the loser of the Super Bowl.
The fewer rules a coach has, the fewer rules there are for players to break.
When your arm gets hit, the ball is not going to go where you want it to.
If you think about it, I've never held a job in my life. I went from being an NFL player to a coach to a broadcaster. I haven't worked a day in my life.
If you win a Super Bowl before you're fired, you're a genius, and everyone listens to you. But a coach is just a guy whose best class in grammar school was recess and whose best class in high school was P.E. I never thought I was anything but a guy whose best class was P.E.
You're not going to eliminate concussions. Anytime you hit your head, you have a chance of getting a concussion, in any sport, too. I think we have to learn more about it. Part of it is rules, part of it is equipment, part of it is medical studies, knowing more about the brain.
I'm a firm believer that there's no way that a six-year-old should have a helmet on and learn a tackling drill.
The road to Easy Street goes through the sewer.
