I may be dumb, but I'm not stupid.
Terry Bradshaw
All great empires die from within.
Bad attitudes will ruin your team.
I don't have hair anymore. I've shrunk. I'm barely 6 feet 2 inches. I just had my teeth fixed because I'm a grinder.
You've got to stand up and do your own battles. My daddy taught me that a long time ago, that you fight your own battles. The only way to shut everybody up is to win.
When Brian told me he grew up in New Mexico, I told him I thought it is cool that people from other countries play football. He corrected me on my geography and agreed to sit down with me anyway.
You can't dodge them all. I got hammered plenty of times through the years. But you just get up and keep playing. I can tell you from experience, though. Sometimes it hurts like hell.
Just everything that I've done, everything that I do, is to this day, all major decisions are all through prayer - all my actions, although a sinner, but you know what? I'm cool with that.
When I played for the Steelers and I got my bell rung, I'd take smelling salts and go right back out there.
The First Amendment rights, everybody has them.
Football is an awesome sport, but it's also a violent sport, and that's why all of us love it. We know what we checked in for, and at seven years of age, that's what I wanted to do with my life, and I didn't care that I got hurt.
I really don't care that I'm ranked.
I'm on national TV in front of millions and I hate making mistakes.
Forget politics and what their platforms were and everything, because you can take whoever you want to take, but the guy that I liked was Nixon... He was a smart man.
Bottom line is, if you turn the ball over to a team that isn't as good, you then have brought them up to your level.
People ask me all the time would I like to still be playing? No. I'm glad I played when I played.
The fear for a network is the viewer gets tired of you. Not that you lost any credibility, but they get tired of you.
We can't talk about Jesus. We can't mention that anymore.
I've never had a problem with people expressing themselves. It's one thing great about our country.
I got tested to see what condition my brain is in. And it's not in real good shape.
The only thing I care about is my family.
I did an album called 'I'm So Lonesome I Could Cry.' I sang the song on 'Hee Haw.'
I'm taking memory power boost tablets to help me every day and doing the puzzles to help me stay focused.
Depression is a physical illness.
Everybody handles things differently.
I was frustrated I couldn't remember stuff, and I got real upset. It was driving me nuts.
I'm always happy-go-lucky, and people look at me and find it shocking that I could be depressed.
I'm against people reading statements. When you read statement, I automatically take it as though you can't talk, and it's not real.
If I could reach down in my heart, I would say I'm sorry for every unkind word and thought I ever had.
If I moved back, my mother would love for me to move in because she absolutely loves her boys. 12 boys. She showers all of us. Would be no problem. She would love to have us back in the house.
I could not bounce back from my divorce - emotionally - I just could not bounce back.
There's a company that wants to put hair on me! I don't know if it's plugs, I'm sure it is. I laughed and said, 'You gotta be kidding.'
What's the worst thing that can happen to a quarterback? He loses his confidence.
I know this golf tournament has my name on it but it's not about me. It's about the Louisiana Tech family. There is nothing greater than being a part of the Bulldog family.
It was driving me crazy that I couldn't remember something that I studied the night before. All it did was trigger my anxiety, and all of sudden everything would snowball on me.
I lose stuff. I forget stuff. I walk into rooms and go, 'Why am I in here? What did I come in here for?' Is that normal? I'm 65. I don't know.
I don't like confrontation.
You can't have 'yes' people around you.
I would start with the most important thing a quarterback has to be: poised. If you panic in that pocket, you are no good. I don't care what else is there; you have to be poised.
I miss my coach. I love my coach. I miss Chuck Noll.
People respect you more if you just play and blow something out than if you take the easier road. That's how we think. You get more respect and people play harder for you. Just play till you blow it. Just play till it goes.
I have more of an identity with Cowher than I do Tomlin. I knew Cowher when he came over from Kansas City as a defensive coordinator, and his teams were tough. Tomlin came in from Minnesota, and I didn't know anything about him. So maybe it's unfair for me to make the comparison.
When I was labeled stupid, that scarred me forever.
I decided to write a book primarily because people talked me into it.
I'm learning how to prevent my brain from getting worse than it is after suffering a career worth of concussions playing football.
I was not used to criticism.
I just see too many people retire and say, 'I'm going to take off, travel, spend time with my family' and they are just miserable. They end up dying. People who work and stay active, and like what they are doing, live longer.
I have always felt like a fish in water with football, Fox, speeches, riding horses, and raising cattle.
I didn't respond well to a firm hand and insults.
Any team can win.
