There's an unbelievable freedom that comes to an analyst when he's in a two-man booth, ... ... It would be like a quarterback going into a game and calling all the plays that he wants.
As a quarterback, can you throw it where you are looking?
The more angles I see, the more confused I get.
Talk radio has almost ruined the sports fan.
Ray Rice was beat up last year
I criticize a lot of players and coaches. But I back it up with facts. A lot of times guys get mad at me because someone told them what I said. I say, 'You're wrong: Go check the tape.
You better...buckle uh down and then tighten up to stop this passing game
People go, 'Hey, did you do anything special for the Super Bowl?' Well no, I like to think I do the same amount of work every week getting ready for a game.

I'm not a guy that believes you've got to have a lot of experience to have success in the playoffs.

Of course it looks bad when you're not executing. When things go bad, it's not going to look good.
