You win and you're in; you lose and you're out. We've been in that situation the past four weeks, ever since the three (consecutive) losses (in November).

Why is football important? Good question. Like Will Rogers said, all of us can't be heroes, somebody's gotta sit on the curb and clap when they ride by. I think that's what it is. People want to pull for something, whether it's America and you want to fly your flag ... why are NASCAR fans so adamant? Why do they pull for Jeff Gordon or Little E? People want to have something to pull for. You become part of a brotherhood. If you're a Dallas Cowboy fan, you seek out other Dallas Cowboy fans.

Charlie Pierce

I did well in school, was the captain of the wrestling team and the football team, and always got along well with people, so I'm sure I would have gotten a job in the real world. I probably wouldn't have liked that, though.
Chuck Liddell
-
The first few weeks football players look at you like you are speaking a foreign language. My job is to get them to trust me, trust the system. I ask them to run in a way that makes no sense to them.
