Roger Staubach Quotations

As a part owner, I'm going to be not only an admirer... but a nervous wreck.

Confidence comes from hours and days and weeks and years of constant work and dedication.

There are no traffic jams along the extra mile.

Confidence doesn't come out of nowhere. It's a result of something... hours and days and weeks and years of constant work and dedication.

Nothing good comes in life or athletics unless a lot of hard work has preceded the effort. Only temporary success is achieved by taking short cuts.

In any team sport, the best teams have consistency and chemistry.

At a car dealership, the person who sells the car is the hero, and also gets the commission. But if the mechanics don't service that car well, the customer won't return.

Winning isn't getting ahead of others. It's getting ahead of yourself.

In racing, we have a better chance of it happening quicker because we have attracted good people to come to work for us. It's the beginning of a great adventure, and we're looking forward to it.

At our company, our Design and Construction Consulting Service Team not only helps eliminate the risks inherent in the construction process, they typically save our clients 5% - 10% on overall construction costs. They also help make sure projects come in on time.

In the commercial real estate business, brokers spearhead major accounts. But they wouldn't have customers without the people who oversee construction.

Football teaches you hard work. It takes a lot of unspectacular preparation to have spectacular results in both business and football.

It was not a friendly game, and Jerry certainly did not have friendliness in his eyes. He had an extra mean streak that day. He was out of control and probably should have been ejected.

I have a lot to learn about NASCAR. But I've learned if you have the right people in the right places doing the right things, you can be successful at whatever you do.

If NASCAR racing gets any more exciting, I may not be able to stand it.

It's okay to have personal ambitions, but you have to take someone with you.

Even though they are paid differently, everyone has to feel appreciated.

There are a lot of people who touch the customer.

I hate to admit that. I want to win every race, but I know that's not possible. To be in the top 25 is realistic if we have any luck this year. But anything to be in the chase or something like that is very unrealistic.

I didn't make enough money in my sport to retire.

I'm excited about being an owner, it's got my competitive juices going. I'm scared, but excited as well.

There's always something special when the service academies play each other that's not in any other game. This is not a regular game, and everyone involved knows that.

We struggled early, but what impressed me was that the crew never stopped working to get the car better. I'm impressed with the effort.

I would have sworn that Indianapolis was going to go all the way. Now that Pittsburgh's in there, I think Seattle has got a shot at them.

If I was Donovan McNabb, I couldn't play with him on my team,

I don't want to be complaining. Paul Zimmerman (a veteran writer) has mentioned that he thought there was a bias, but I don't want to say that because it can work against you and make it sound like these guys are whiners.

He's a tough guy, he's a good guy. At the Academy, he was a very smart guy. He'll do a great job. That's a good move (for Michigan).

I think it's a natural rivalry because of the close proximity of the schools. I'm happy to see that Maryland and Navy are finally playing again.

I was able to talk to him in the huddle, and he always practiced hard and he always played hard, ... So it wasn't a distraction. But he never spoke to me off the field that year. It was a little weird.

I would never tolerate a player on my team questioning my integrity. I don't think Donovan should have to, either.

Unlike other major sporting events, such as the World Series or the NBA Finals or the Masters, it's a one-day event. You crown the champion that day.

We'd love to emulate what he's done. He has a history of doing it right, and we're fortunate to be associated with him.

To this day, I don't really know what happened with him, ... When he tried to make a comeback with us a few years later, I was pulling for him. He wasn't the same player, but everybody still liked Duane Thomas.

The play was called back because the official called our fullback, Danny Wong, for holding. We watched the film later and Danny never touched a Maryland defender.

With DLP Products as our primary sponsor and Joe Gibbs Racing as our big brother team, the pressure is on us. Our first task is to find a driver and crew chief we can build a program around and our Gibbs affiliation will make all the difference. The NASCAR Nextel Cup garage is loaded with talent and dedicated racers; we want to attract people who want to win and then give them the tools and support to get the job done.

Fishman was twisting Skip's leg under the pile. That's what caused the injury.

I've never been involved with a sport where I didn't have some control. I'm going to be there at Daytona, scared to death, and yelling for Car 96 to make sure it comes around the track and finishes.

That's how important this race is to me.

Allan and I played during the same time, and I told him the one thing I really wish I could have done was play a game against him and Air Force. I have so many great memories about my days at the Naval Academy, but if I could do it again, I would have loved for us to play Air Force because I never got the chance.

This is a big deal. No matter what any of these players say, this game will impact the rest of their lives.

That really adds a lot of great luster to this. They have a first-class operation, and Joe Gibbs is a first-class person, ... But I never changed my loyalty. I'm still a big Cowboys fan.

They've turned the ball over to him. I think they really believe in him and I think the key to the game will be if Big Ben can take charge early on. If he doesn't I think Seattle will win.

I'm not counting on winning a race soon, but I don't want to be too old before I win.

I have the same feeling that I had as an athlete. We're just hoping we can be competitive. I'm very much committed to making sure this works. . . . If you put the right people in the right places, miracles can happen.

I don't see how that can happen. That wouldn't make any sense. Aikman, Elway, Marino. Those guys deserve to be in right away.

I don't think Troy and I are that arrogant.

You can never give up-athletics taught me that. You must work hard, prepare, learn from your losses and continue to fight until the very end.

Discrimination is a disease.

If you don't have trust inside your company, then you can't transfer it to your customers.

Have the right people in the right places, working together

I enjoy sex as much as Joe Namath, only I do it with one girl.

Only temporary success is achieved by taking short cuts.

In business or in football, it takes a lot of unspectacular preparation to produce spectacular results.

It takes a lot of un-spectacular preparation, to get spectacular results

Every time I stepped on the field, I believed my team was going to walk off the winner, somehow, someway.

Winning isn't getting ahead of others, it is getting ahead of yourself.

Spectacular achievements come from unspectacular preparation.

All of us get knocked down, but it's resiliency that really matters. All of us do well when things are going well, but the thing that distinguishes athletes is the ability to do well in times of great stress, urgency and pressure.

Class is striving hard to be the best at what you do while taking the needs of others into consideration
