Jaguars OLB Clint Ingram marveled at Raiders rookie QB JaMarcus Russell's size, as quoted in the Orlando Sentinel: "I told the left tackle, 'Man, you need to switch with Russell. You're smaller than him. A lot of them [near] sacks, we had him [Russell] almost all the way to the ground and he still got the ball off."

Falcons WR Roddy White laments a heartbreaking 30-27 overtime loss to the Cardinals, as quoted in The Arizona Republic: "I wanted to just break down and cry, because we can't get any breaks. Somebody up there doesn't want us to win any football games."

Raiders head coach Lane Kiffin, quoted on InsideAreaBay.com, responds to criticism that he has coddled rookie QB JaMarcus Russell. In Russell's first extensive action of the season, he completed a miserable 7-of-23 pass attempts for 83 yards, including three interceptions: "… it's what we wanted to get rid of in the preseason, and we didn't have a preseason … the guy hasn't played for a year, and so, unfortunately, many of those classic rookie mistakes were made today."

FOOTBALL QUOTES

Most football players are temperamental. That's 90 percent temper and 10 percent mental. ~Doug Plank

Let's face it, you have to have a slightly recessive gene that has a little something to do with the brain to go out on the football field and beat your head against other human beings on a daily basis. ~Tim Green

American football makes rugby look like a Tupperware party. ~Sue Lawley,

I have seen women walk right past a TV set with a football game on and - this always amazes me - not stop to watch, even if the TV is showing replays of what we call a "good hit," which is a tackle that causes at least one major internal organ to actually fly out of a player's body. ~Dave Barry

I like to believe that my best hits border on felonious assault. ~Jack Tatum

He was the only man I ever saw who ran his own interference. ~Steve Owen, about Bronko Nagurski

Trying to maintain order during a legalized gang brawl involving 80 toughs with a little whistle, a hanky and a ton of prayer. ~Anonymous referee, explaining his job

There are several differences between a football game and a revolution. For one thing, a football game usually lasts longer and the participants wear uniforms. Also, there are usually more casualties in a football game. The object of the game is to move a ball past the other team's goal line. This counts as six points. No points are given for lacerations, contusions, or abrasions, but then no points are deducted, either. Kicking is very important in football. In fact, some of the more enthusiastic players even kick the ball, occasionally. ~Alfred Hitchcock
