You ask yourself, ‘What do you want your legacy to be?’ I’m content at this point to say, ‘Those who follow me.’ Romeo Crennel, Bill Belichick, Sean Payton, to name a few. I think I’ve got a pretty good group, so far.
If you’re sensitive, you will have a hard time with me.
I think he’s got good potential, but he needs a lot of work.
By and large, I’ve been healthy all my life.
There are two things in New York, euphoria and disaster.

All the backs in the history of this game are the same when there isn’t any hole to run through.
God’s been good to me, He really has.
Don’t tell me about the pain. Show me the baby.
I think confrontation is healthy, because it clears the air very quickly.
The only players I hurt with my words are the ones who have an inflated opinion of their ability.
The thing I really look for in this business is there are guys who are into football and there are guys who are in the profession for other reasons.
