I have to convince myself I know what I’m doing.

Something’s been guiding me around throughout my life.

I’ve figured out that life in general is a team effort; it’s a team game.

I was a workhorse; there was never a practice that I didn’t enjoy.

I’m always gonna be Joe Namath, and I’m not running from that.

I’d rather go to Vietnam than get married.

Whether it’s 18 years old or 40 years old, we think we know what’s going on. But if you’re lucky enough to continue the journey, its amazing how we keep learning how much we didn’t...

It feels bad to feel like you’re not wanted.

I was born with the gift.

I have no idea what my batting average was in high school, but I know it wasn’t below .450, and that’s pretty good hitting where I come from.

When you have confidence, you can have a lot of fun. And when you have fun, you can do amazing things.

None of the body was designed to play football. Excuse me, you know, football, we’re just not designed for.

Most of my recognition comes from us winning that championship. The words may not come out – ‘Super Bowl III’ – because a lot of the folks at the grocery store, gas station or mall...

There are some things you only learn through experience.

I couldn’t do anything I didn’t enjoy.

I think there’s always going to be a problem dealing with firearms, with knives. It’s the animal we are that cause the problems.

If you aren’t going all the way, why go at all?

Of course, in pro ball, they never hit the quarterback in practice.

When we won the league championship, all the married guys on the club had to thank their wives for putting up with all the stress and strain all season. I had to thank all the...

I am a football fan, yeah.

My philosophy in life, where I was trying to get, could have been a little bit different.

I was focused on athletics, outdoors, sports.

To be a leader, you have to make people want to follow you, and nobody wants to follow someone who doesn’t know where he is going.

Pressure just makes you go a little more. I kind of like pressure.

I believe in letting a guy live the way he wants to if he doesn’t hurt anyone.

As a football coach, everything in your life comes after your football schedule. I just could not make that commitment.

Times have changed. The athletes have changed.

I think I could have become an outstanding professional baseball player, but I don’t think I could have reached the heights that I have in football – being one of the very top players in...

When you win, nothing hurts.

I’ve been some through some things medically. I’ve seen some things on my brain. But I’ve had some treatment – and I’ve improved.

I’ve always said I’m going to get married only once.

There’s an old saying amongst players in football talking about your general manger and coaches, they speak with a forked tongue.

Where I came from, sports were the only way to get out front.

Until my senior year, baseball and basketball were my best sports; and even when I was a senior, I still wanted to play baseball professionally. But the family wanted me to go to college, and...

I don’t like going out on a date unless I know the broad a little bit beforehand. By the way, ‘broad’ to me is not a detrimental term for women; it’s simply another word for...

First, I prepare. Then I have faith.

We’re going to win Sunday. I guarantee it.

After my first knee operation, in January of ’65 before I went to the Jets, Dr. James Nicholas told me everything went well and that I could probably play four years in the NFL. The...

After I hurt the knee, football wasn’t nearly as much fun. I was limited. But you make do with what you have. I adjusted some. I was lucky to play as long as I did,...

You learn how to be a gracious winner and an outstanding loser.

My ego’s not the kind that says, ‘I want to be an actor and be accepted as that.’

I was a very naive young man, and I may still be ignorant about a lot of things.

The name of the game is ‘kill the quarterback.’ Every football team tries to knock the guy out of the game that’s handling the ball.

If you’re not gonna go all the way, why go at all?

I don’t like to date so much as I just like to kind of, you know, run into somethin’, man.

How you recover from what life’s throwing at you is what matters.

What I do is prepare myself until I know I can do what I have to do.

I can’t compare family to athletics.

I think that at some point in your life you realize you don’t have to worry if you do everything you’re supposed to do right. Or if not right, if you do it the best...
