Daunte Culpepper Football Quotations

We just need to get away from football for a few days and realize what we've got here. The thing is, it's going to take some time. We've got a whole new team here when you think about it. We definitely didn't want to be 1-3, but we knew it was going to take some time.

I'm thinking I'm still trying to score on every possession. It would make it a lot easier if we got the ball down in their territory.

He told me that the Vikings have not yet spoken to other teams about trading me. I shared my disappointment with the lack of communication and the false reports about me demanding more money coming out of Minnesota. I have requested further talks so that we can explore options for the future.

I took some good shots. It's definitely disappointing. There's a lot of talent on this football team.

If a trade does not happen then I am asking the Vikings to terminate my contract as soon as possible.

With the players we have right now, we've got a great opportunity to a good football team, to even be a great football team. ... Everybody just needs to file in line and get to work. I'm very excited about what we can do - right now, not two or three years later.

I give them a lot of credit for getting prepared and focusing on football with everything going on down there. But they understand also that we have a job to do, too. They are not going to feel bad for us that we are 0-2.

I never really thought it would happen. I wish he wasn't leaving. I really do. But it was out of my hands. Moss never was a negative, as far as football goes. He did his thing on the field. It was the off-the-field-stuff that was negative. But he never did anything crazy that would really hurt anybody. He would do little, small things.
