John Madden Quotations | Page 2

In order for this team to win the game, the quarterback has to throw the ball.

If you lose your best cornerback and punter, I'd say that's a double loss.

I always used to tell my players that we are here to win! And you know what, Al? When you don't win, you lose.

See, well ya see, the thing is, he should have caught that ball. But the ball is bigger than his hands.

Give something that wasn't expected.

I wasn't saying that in a sense that I didn't plan on scoring any goals. This won't happen again. It would be nice if it did, but it's reality.

He might want to watch where he lands when tackling that guy, because he could really hurt his hand if it gets stepped on.

From the waist down, Earl Campbell has the biggest legs I have ever seen on a running back.

I would have all my offensive linemen wrestle if I could.

Here's a guy who can use his arms and legs at the same time.

at the end of the game the team with the most points on the board is going to win.

There was a hidden narrative I felt we could get into, It's about an accessible world. Family and relationships are accessible subjects.

It's a big deal. ABC and MNF are a big part of NFL history, and it's going to end with the Super Bowl (on ABC). You can't say you're not looking forward to it .

There is a difference in being in shape and being in football shape. Any one can out on the field and run around , but once you start getting hit and have to get up then you find out the difference between being in shape and football shape.

Well, when you're playing good football, it's good football and if you don't have good football, then you're not really playing good football.

You got one guy going boom, one guy going whack, and one guy not getting in the endzone.

Knowing his coach likes him is more important to a player than anything else.

Don't do anything great if you can't handle the congratulations.
