Suzy: "Joe, it’s been a tough season for Jets fans. What does it mean to you now that the team is struggling?"

 

Joe: "I wanna kiss you. I couldn’t care less about the team struggling. What we know is we can improve. Chad Pennington, our quarterback, missed the first part of the season, and we struggled. We’re looking to next season, we’re looking to make a noise now, and…I wanna kiss you!"

In my view, it's the Mora Sr. and PLAYOFFS? quote that is the best of all time..

 

Also, don't forget about Mora's rant as the Saints Head Coach: "We couldn't run the ball, we couldn't pass the ball, we couldn't stop the run, we couldn't stop the pass. We couldn't do DIDDLY POO!"

 

I hope some NFL team hires Mora Sr. as I'd love to continue to hear his rants..

"People used to tell me Earl couldn't finish a mile run, hell I don't care, if it is 4th and a mile I ain't gonna give him the ball." Bum Phillips on Earl Campbell

 

Oiler coach Bum Phillips: When asked by Bob Costas why he takes his wife on all the road trips, Phillips responded, "Because she is too damn ugly to kiss goodbye."

 

when bum phillips was asked if earl campbell was in a class by himself: "well, he may not be in a class by hisself, but it don't take very long to take attendance."

 

A few from John McKay, the Bucs first coach:

 

When a reporter asked what he thought of the Buccaneer’s execution following a loss-- "I think it's a good idea."

 

"We didn't tackle well today but we made up for it by not blocking."

 

"We can't win on the road, and we can't win at home. My biggest failure as a coach is I can't figure out anywhere else to play"

 

New Orleans Saint RB George Rogers when asked about the upcoming season: "I want to rush for 1,000 or 1,500 yards, whichever comes first."

There's a highlight they play on NFL Films once in a while with Rodney Harrison on the sidelines talking to a Chargers teammate.

 

Harrison, "Number 68 punched me in the mouth."

 

Teammate, "He punched you in the mouth?"

 

Harrison, "Yeah. It felt good, though."

 

:doublethumbsup:

 

Always kills me.
