No one feels worse about losing a game like that than the players and coaches in that locker room. They throw everything into it. No one felt worse than Tommy. I mean, this is a quality individual. We all understand the criticisms that come with this game and we understand that, but when you start taking it outside the field, to the house, to the kids, to me, you've crossed the line. |
No one has handled it more inspirationally than Tony and his wife. That's the unfortunate part of our profession, that we live in a fishbowl and we have to experience that with the rest of America. Sometimes those are things you'd just like to share with those you are very close to, but Tony has found out that he's very close to a lot of us. |

No team has ever been where we are. That's not going to discourage us. Does it make the challenge great? Absolutely. But at the same time, we have to seize the opportunity. |
No, I kind of liked the ones he's had, |
No, something even more diabolical. I call it 'The Immaculate Deception.' I can't reveal any details, but we'll run it on the first play of our first possession in the second quarter. |
Nobody was made aware of anything during the course of the game. |
Not just Jerome , but all of these guys will have to deal with demands on their time. I tell them, 'Getting here is one thing, but don't get out of your routine. |
Nothing drives me more than hopefully being able to hand him that fifth [Super Bowl] trophy. |
Nothing drives me more than to hopefully be able to hand him the fifth trophy. |
Nothing drives me more than to, hopefully, be able to hand (Steelers chairman Dan Rooney) that fifth (Vince Lombardi) trophy. If I can do that, then I would think, that when he brought me here, I finally accomplished what he wanted me to do. |
Nothing went wrong with Plax in Pittsburgh. He just got a good offer to play somewhere else. We weren't mad at him, and I think he leaves on very good terms, at least as far as we're concerned. |
Obviously, he's a Pro Bowl player, his numbers speak for themselves. He's playing with a lot of confidence and he is without a doubt the catalyst for what they do. |
Oh yeah, I think he's very close. Whether it's full (throttle), I don't know, but it's very, very close. |
On a fourth-and-one with a guy like Jerome Bettis, it's an easy call to make. Down around the goal, he's got a great feel for that. As long as the ball was on the one or inside the one, it was really an easy decision to make. |
