Eli knows where he's at in his development and what stage he's at. He'll learn from his mistakes and try to correct them and build on the positives... He'll handle it. He's a little more even-keel than Peyton so he's been OK in New York so far. |
Every week you learn something. This was a tough day. |
For the second year in a row we have had an outstanding winner. Vince had a great year at the University of Texas, and capped it off with one of the most spectacular bowl games in history. We are proud that he will represent this award. |
He probably took a gamble or two. It didn't work out. |
He'll be a real good player for Arkansas. He's savvy and has a great cerebral approach to the game. |
He's a big boy, and this is a tough profession. It's not supposed to be easy. You're always going to have things confront you, especially when you play the quarterback position. He deals with things real good. |
I challenge each and every player in the National Football League to consider the impact they have just because they play the game of football, then go do something about it. There's more to the game. |
I could tell them apart, ... But I'm not so sure, if Peyton's still playing three years from now, and Eli is fortunate enough to still be playing in three years. They'll look even more alike than they do now. |

I did a couple of interviews about the Saints and the great win they had, and at one point I had to correct the guy, ... I said, 'Now wait a minute. You have to understand, this wasn't like TCU beating Oklahoma. The Saints have a good team.' |
I know my daddy loved me, but in his generation they didn't hug their kids and tell them that. I have done that, but Tony just reinforced that idea. When I saw Eli on Sunday (before the Giants' playoff game), I hugged him. Then I hugged him the next day. And then, when I took him to the hunting club (this week), I hugged him. |
I know they'll be calling on us, |
I never got close. Everybody just wants to get here, and I hope both of my boys get to do it. |
I never got to do it, so I'm very excited for them. I can tell you for sure it's exciting because in my 15 years, this time of year I was packing up my stuff to go home. |
I never intended to stay in New Orleans, ... [But] along the way, New Orleans was really good to me. We were the only pro team in town. We weren't too good, but the fans were passionate about the Saints and extremely good to me and my family. |
