19. "It's just the people in Buffalo — you have to understand that they're a whole different breed of people, a whole different breed of species." — Bryan Cox in 1993 on why he flipped his middle finger (http://www.sun-sentinel.com/topic/health/human-body/fingers-HHA000022.topic) to the Buffalo crowd upon being introduced
There's some good ones on here. :squish: Man, I hope nobody ever does this for the Bills.
24. "Do you want to be safe and good, or do you want to take a chance and be great?" — Jimmy Johnson (http://www.sun-sentinel.com/topic/sports/football/jimmy-johnson-PESPT008454.topic) after drafting Daryl Gardener (http://www.sun-sentinel.com/topic/sports/daryl-gardener-PESPT002474.topic) in 1996
22. "With Larry Shannon coming to our football team, by the way, he's probably a step faster than Randy Moss (http://www.sun-sentinel.com/topic/sports/randy-moss-PESPT005235.topic). So he's bigger, he's taller, he's faster." — Jimmy Johnson after passing on Moss in the 1998 draft
15. "You're missing an earring." — Don Shula, when tight end Marv Fleming brandished a new earring at training camp in 1972 and asked Shula what he thought of it
14. "We liked a couple of those receivers up there, but we didn't feel there was a guy that was going to come in and make more of a contribution than a linebacker." — Dave Wannstedt, on why he chose Eddie Moore over Anquan Boldin in the 2003 draft
13. "Dammit! How many times have I told you?" — Jimmy Johnson, throwing a portable television at offensive coordinator Gary Stevens (http://www.sun-sentinel.com/topic/politics/gary-stevens-PEPLT006338.topic) on the flight back from the New England playoff loss in 1997 after watching the video and seeing the Patriots (http://www.sun-sentinel.com/topic/sports/football/new-england-patriots-ORSPT000192.topic) had stolen the Dolphins' calls (from former scouting director Bob Ackles' autobiography, The Water Boy)
10. "We all figured we had it made — that these tall, beautiful women were going home with us. Then, all of a sudden, one of the fellows stood up, pointed at one of them and yelled, 'She's got a Johnson!' After that, we pretty much tore the place up. The cops were called, and it was a big incident. Apparently the club had signed up a bunch of female impersonators to work the room, but hey, it was 1972. None of us knew what a drag queen was." — Larry Csonka (http://www.sun-sentinel.com/topic/sports/larry-csonka-PESPT001574.topic) on a party in New Orleans in the days before Super Bowl VI
9. "My track record in picking people in business has been great. My track record in sports? Ehhh." — H. Wayne Huizenga (http://www.sun-sentinel.com/topic/economy-business-finance/h.-wayne-huizenga-PEBSL000167.topic) in hoping he picked right with Cam Cameron and Randy Mueller in 2007
7. "Well, then I guess I have to say it: I'm not going to be the Alabama coach." — Nick Saban a few weeks before taking the Alabama job after the 2006 season
3. "Now when I go to the bathroom I find out who my friends are." — Jake Scott after both broken hands were in casts following the 1972 season
2. "You can't make chicken salad out of chicken s---. Name me a great player we have besides Danny. You can't. We were No. 2 in the passing game. No. 2 in the passing game! How did we do it? With our players, you tell me, how did we do it? We have to throw. We couldn't run. And do we have a great running back? No." — offensive coordinator Gary Stevens after losing in the 1997 playoffs
