FOOTBALL QUOTES
The Ravens' defense put a real muscle job on the Pats receivers, and I expect the Steelers will try to do the same. It's their nature. I remember one former Steeler's story about DB Jack Butler trying to stop R.C. Owens and that Alley-Oop play he used to run with the 49ers, back in the late '50s. "Owens was 6-3, a big target," he said. "And there wasn't much facemask protection in those days. So Butler would jump with him and extend his arms in the air. Then, just as Owens was coming down, he would make fist and pop him in the jaw. Butler was a roughneck, and after a few of those, he swears Owens never caught another TD pass on him."
Jacksonville coach Jack Del Rio is convinced the Colts' defensive line is trained "to bark and flinch and draw people offsides. His offense was flagged four times for false starts last weekend in their tight loss to Indy. I liked Tony Dungy's retort. "That's a curious comment to me," he said. "They go with a silent count."
Start the year off right. Easy ways to stay in shape in the new year.
