John Wooten Quotations

I have great faith in Dan Rooney and the commissioner,

If anybody thinks this thing has changed, they need to deal with it day to day.

He showed me those who came back without arms and legs. Sometimes, I was so depressed they couldn't get me out of bed, so he would pick me up and swing me around. He would taunt me and tell me to quit feeling sorry for myself. My focus was on being mad at him. It got my mind off my disability.

Harry has done enough. He has spent much of the last two months going back and forth between Florence and Savannah. He is handling this exceptionally well.

The athlete who says it can't be done should not get in the way of the one who is doing it.

We don't question the process. The process has been great. We're disappointed with the results. We're surprised. But we're on the right track. It's not like it was a few years ago. Back then, very few guys even got interviews.

I told Harry he had earned the honor so why take your name off the list when deep down in your heart you know you want to get in some day. I think Harry has learned from the experience.

I'm very competitive. I don't even like to lose at checkers. I don't ever get mad. I just try harder.
