I loved Bud Grant.

I was a good daddy.

Gosh, I loved playing.

It's no fun when you lose.

You never get used to losing.

The Saints - it gave people joy.

I've always told my kids to have fun.

New Orleans people love their weekends.

Success, you know, is a relative thing.

When I grew up, we played in vacant lots.

I have a lot of empathy for quarterbacks.

Emeril Lagasse is one of my great friends.

Peyton's pretty good at figuring stuff out.

Coaches help every facet of a person's life.

New Orleans is just a doggone fun place to be.

I didn't want to be one of these pushy daddies.

Bobby Petrino, I think he's an outstanding coach.

Sometimes you gotta mess up a little bit to wake up

I wish I’d played my whole career in flag football.

Mardi Gras, the drinking, the partying - that scared me.

I really don't think I have lived my life as an open book.

I cherish my time at Ole Miss. I cherish those four years.

If you're a QB in the NFL, you'll be subjected to criticism.

I've watched what coaches do for young people in our country.

My first toy was an adjustable wrench I called 'my wrencher.'

It's a hard time, winning the Super Bowl or losing the Super Bowl.

No quarterback ever won a championship that did it all by himself.

When Peyton played, he was a grinder. I mean he was up early and late.

There's nothing worse than seeing someone hurt out on the football field.

TPC Louisiana, where the Zurich Classic is held, is an outstanding course.

I've always said, other than my dad, coaches had the greatest impact on me.

The worst part about getting in a rut in football is the weeks are so long.

God that's a great game. I wish I'd played my whole career in flag football.

Indianapolis is a great Midwestern city. Great people. Warm, friendly people.

You throw 40 times a game when you're first starting out, it's a crash course.

Drew Bledsoe is a great talent. He had some fantastic years early in his career.

Obviously, you have to have some physical ability to play quarterback in the NFL.

We just take pride that our sons have worked hard and they handle their position as a quarterback.

We went to school board meetings, we went to Little League games, and we did everything to be normal.

I've always felt my wife had class and a lot more culture than I do, and I've seen that rub off on Eli.

Frankly I've been in these situations where the locker room wasn't good. That's really the worst of times.

The '84 Bears were just like the '85 Bears, they just didn't win the Super Bowl. The defense was the same.

I'm very proud of high school, college and pro football, the strides have been made to make it a safer game.

In college, I was a running QB. We were a sprint out offense, so I had a big transition going into pro ball.

I've always said, in the era that I played, all those years with the Saints, you don't come out with a big ego.

Cooper and Peyton really competed a lot, they fought a lot. But Eli was so much younger. He's the little brother.

Deep inside, we're still the boys of autumn, that magic time of the year that once swept us onto America's fields.

That's the one thing before parenthood that no one really impressed upon me, that all of my children would be so different.

I decided not to pursue coaching. Even though the people in coaching are some of my best friends and people I admire the most.

If you just make every effort to do the right thing, you'll come out ok. It comes down to priorities and making good decisions.
