Doug Pederson Quotations

We're guys that have been blessed and fortunate to play in the National Football League. By no means is this for financial gain. I'd enjoy doing it if I didn't get paid. I love coaching football and having a chance to help kids grow up.

Man, I always felt like high school football was where I needed to be. Having three boys helps that decision. Here at Calvary, I know I can have them in school with me and coach them when they're older. It's one of the reasons I came to Calvary. Stan is the same way. He's got daughters there.

I think his first three, four, five years out of the league will be spent back home in Mississippi, watching his two girls grow up. He might get into high school athletics because his dad was a coach. I don't see Brett getting in the (broadcast) booth.

Brett was the best player on the field the other night against Carolina. That passion he showed against the Saints, that's Brett. He makes everybody around him play so much better.

Brett came back because he didn't want to go out the way he played in the playoffs (Favre threw four interceptions in a wild-card loss to Minnesota). It's just a shame what's going on in Green Bay. They're going through a rebuilding phase. And Brett wants to go out on top.

Personally, I don't see Brett coming back next year.

Backups don't get a lot of praise or glory, but you get to that spot by working hard. He comes from a line of quarterbacks and an athletic family. It's bred in him and he's a sharp kid.

That touchdown to Ferguson was vintage Brett Favre,
