QUOTES:

“One of the frustrations of my life is: I wish they would have given us more time. Look, winning a Super Bowl and and being effective in the playoffs, that’s a hard thing to do. I mean it I mean, Tom Brady makes it look easy. But Peyton Manning went five, five or six years before he ever won in the playoffs, and I just wish they would have kept that group together longer to really give us a chance because I think we could have done it. I really do. And I’ll say that until the day that I die.” – Scott Mitchell

“They were killing me on ESPN and they called you and everything. I just remember that time me and you talked and the first thing you said to me was like, ‘Lomas, I know you didn’t do that.’ Because you remember the play, and everything and we talked about that. And I’ll tell you now that made a world of difference, because, man, I was catching it. You thought you had caught it, man, I was catching it from every end about that statement that I made.

“But I think, like I said, the most comforting thing that came out of that was when me and you actually ended up talking, and you were like, ‘Well, I knew the play that you’re talking about, and you didn’t do that,’ and stuff. So, you know, it was just it was just a great lesson, and that just lets you know who your friends really are. So I just wanted to let you know that I appreciate you for that moment there.” – Lomas Brown

“A question I get asked the most guy is: who is my favorite quarterback? Now, many people may not believe it or remember, I played with about 15-20 quarterbacks. (Fans) always ask me who was the favorite guy and you and we talked about it. I went to four Pro Bowls … three of those with one of those quarterbacks.” – Herman Moore
