NATIONAL FOOTBAL LEAGUE QUOTES

Wellington Mara, NFL Hall of Fame \ Owner, New York Giants

Besides his contributions to football, Mara was known for being a devout Catholic that often attended the traditional Tridentine Mass, and a champion of Pro-Life causes. He also served as a Lieutenant Commander during World War II for the Navy in both the Atlantic and Pacific. That period during the war would be Mara's only prolonged time away from the Giants.

The Wilson football used in NFL games prior to the AFL merger (1941-69) was nicknamed "THE DUKE" after Mara. For the 2006 season and beyond, a new version of "THE DUKE" will be used in NFL games.
He was enshrined in the Pro Football Hall of Fame in 1997.

Quotes
"This team was referred to as the worst team ever to win the home-field advantage in the National Football League. And today, on our field of painted mud, we proved we're the worst team ever to win the NFC championship. In two weeks, we're going to try to become the worst team ever to win the Super Bowl." — Remarks following Giants' NFC Championship, January 14, 2001 [1]

In a rare response to a sportswriter, frustrated with poor performance from the also-ran Giants of the 1970s, asking, "What can you expect from an Irishman named Wellington, whose father was a bookmaker?" Mara later said:

"I'll tell you what you can expect—you can expect anything he says or writes may be repeated aloud in your own home in front of your own children. You can believe that he was taught to love and respect all mankind, but to fear no man. And you could believe that his abiding ambitions were to pass onto his family the true richness of the inheritance he received from his father, the bookmaker: the knowledge and love and fear of God and second to give you (our fans and our coach) a Super Bowl winner"
