Quotes & Guests

“It’s news to me.  I don’t know what color socks I’ll be wearing.  You were the first to send me a text but there’s been plenty coming in since.”  
--OF Mark Teahen to Soren Petro after learning the Royals were close to a deal trading him to the White Sox


"It wouldn't bother me at all. That is something that is earned.  It’s not like it’s just handed over and people say, ‘here ya go, here's the title.’  I have no disregard for L.J.; he is a guy that loves to play football.  He earned every yard that he got and if he is the rushing leader, then so be it."
--Chiefs’ great and future Hall of Famer Will Shields on Larry Johnson being the Chiefs All-Time leading rusher on The Border Patrol
 

"No. No way.  When you are a new coach you want to set your guidelines and all, and I understand that.  But, at the end of the day, you have to know who your good players are because players win ball games.  Coaches can draw up plays but players have to execute them.

Great athletes do things you can't coach. Looking at Derrick Thomas, he wouldn't squat and practice and all the sudden Sunday comes and D.T. has four or five sacks and you go, ‘well, there you go.’"
--ESPN's Herm Edwards when asked about Derrick Johnson's lack of playing time and whether  Derrick Thomas could play for Todd Haley - considering D.T.'s bad practice habits


"We just try as hard as we can, at least I do, to stick to business.  I try to take care of today and, you know, it is about trying to build or at least add to the program and get it in a manageable environment.  This isn't something I want to do for the rest of my life. 

I want to get it back - that was the purpose.  Get it where it needs to be and kind of calm the waters with the constituency and then, hopefully, make a smooth transition and have it in a position where it's manageable and have a certain degree of success."
--K-State Head Football Coach Bill Snyder on his coaching future
 
 
"I think what happens is you always kind of re-evaluate your goals.  We lost 3 games in a row to 2 top 15 teams in the nation.  It's unfortunate, but what we have to do at that point is look ahead at what's out there.  You know, we start the season with certain goals and just the way the North is this year, if you just do the math and take care of your business, you've got a chance.  It doesn't mean you're going to do it, but you've got a chance."
--Missouri Head Football Coach Gary Pinkel on his team's chances of winning the Big 12 North
