NFL QUOTES

Quotes from Super Bowl XXXV (Year 2000)

.
Giants defensive end Michael Strahan on why the Giants aren't as loud as the Ravens --

"I like boring. When we got boring, we started winning. If boring means winning, we'll be boring."

Ravens quarterback Trent Dilfer on the Giants defense --

"I think the worst 10 minutes of football I've ever played in my life was against the Giants."

.

"If you really believe that a jersey is going to win or lose a football game, then you have more issues in life than that."

.
Ravens defensive tackle Tony Siragusa:

***
on his team having to wear white --

"I'm a little upset about having to wear white though. I wish we were the home team so we could wear purple and I'd look a little thinner. The white shirt is doing nothing for my abs."

***

on Trent Dilfer's return to Tampa --

"I think Trent should start picking names of Tampa Bay people who have told him that he couldn't play and sort of give them the finger. He wouldn't do that, but if he points them out to me, I would."

.

Ravens cornerback Duane Starks on how many points the Ravens will need to score to win the game --

"I think we only need 10. A touchdown and a field goal to seal things would be OK."

.

Ravens tight end Shannon Sharpe:

***

on Siragusa --

"Goose weighed 342 at the beginning of the season. I guarantee you he's not at 342 now."

***

on game-day rituals --

"I like to wake up in the morning -- that's my first ritual.

***

on Sehorn --

"I know him. I know him very well. I'm going to his wedding, and I'm not bringing a gift."

***

on comparing who has the better portfolio between him and Sehorn --

"Probably, he does, but I'm better looking."

Fish sets a challenge for headline writers everywhere.

.
"What's done is done. I've moved past it, and, you know, whatever gets him to sleep at night is fine. If he says after three hours he can't feel a ball hitting his racquet, then apparently every fifth set he's ever played he can't feel the ball."

Andy Murray is asked about a heckler.

Another Beijing tale from Querrey.
