Quotable Interviews from FOX Sports Radio Super Bowl Coverage in New York City

January 28, 2014 By admin

fox-sports-logo QUOTABLE INTERVIEWS FROM FOX SPORTS RADIO

SUPER BOWL COVERAGE IN NEW YORK CITY

LOS ANGELES, January 28, 2014 – Below are today’s highlights from FOX Sports Radio’s week-long Super Bowl remote broadcast from New York City, featuring FOX Sports Daybreak with Andy Furman and Mike North, Jay Mohr Sports, and Steve Gorman SPORTS!, which debuted yesterday. Guests included NFL Hall of Famer and Super Bowl Champion Head Coach Mike Ditka, New York Jets Defensive Lineman Muhammad Wilkerson, NFL Hall of Famer and Super Bowl Champion Quarterback Joe Theismann, and FOX Sports 1 Senior NFL Reporter Alex Marvez.

Jay Mohr Sports

NFL Hall of Famer and Super Bowl Champion Head Coach Mike Ditka joined Jay Mohr Sports on Monday to talk Super Bowl XLVIII and what it takes to be a champion, as well as sharing whether a Super Bowl ring or Hall of Fame induction is more important in his view. Below is an excerpt from the conversation:

Mohr: “What would bother you more – having a Super Bowl ring, and not getting into the Hall of Fame or getting into the Hall of Fame, never having won a Super Bowl?”

Ditka: “You don’t play the game with the idea that you are going to get in the Hall of Fame; you play the game because you love the game…The Hall of Fame is just like icing on the cake if you had a great career. The Super Bowl – when you’re coaching or playing – your goal is to win that Super Bowl.”

Steve Gorman SPORTS!

NFL Hall of Famer and Super Bowl winning quarterback Joe Theismann joined Steve Gorman SPORTS! during the debut show to talk Super Bowl and music, in addition to how Peyton Manning’s legacy would be affected by a win or loss. Below is an excerpt from the conversation:

Steve: “Joe, let’s talk about the Broncos and Peyton Manning…Where do you rank him all time, and do you think if he wins or loses this Super Bowl, does it change his legacy?”

Theismann: “A win or a loss does not change, in my mind, how I view Peyton’s legacy…I don’t believe the Super Bowl has that impact. I think beating Tom Brady had more of an impact on what his legacy would have been than what happens in this Super Bowl. And then the other part of it Steve too, is, okay – how does he play? If his offensive line struggles blocking Seattle’s defensive line and linebackers, and he’s not going to be able to do the things that he does, can you really say it was his [fault] or not?”

FOX Sports Daybreak

FOX Sports Daybreak’s Andy Furman and Mike North caught up with FOX Sports 1 Senior NFL Reporter, Alex Marvez this morning.  Alex talked about the atmosphere in New York and also says this won’t be the last cold weather Super Bowl that we see. Below is an excerpt from the conversation:

Alex Marvez: “You look at the NFL, the way that they leverage all these cities into corporate welfare…The more cities that bid – if you start working cold weather cities into the mix and increasing the number of cities doing the bidding – the NFL continues to get a sweetheart deal. They’re really smart about that…This is the future of the NFL under Roger Goodell. He’s put it in there, and the fact is, he’s gonna get lucky – the weather should be pretty good Sunday night, and I guarantee you they roll the dice again at some point.”

Hall of Famer Emmitt Smith Tells FOX Sports Radio Why Larry Allen Deserves to Join Him in the Pro Football Hall of Fame

February 4, 2013 By admin

FOX-RadioLOS ANGELES, February 02, 2013 – The NFL’s all-time leading rusher, three-time Super Bowl champion and a Hall of Famer himself, Emmitt Smith, spoke with FOX Sports Daybreak’s Andy Furman and Artrell Hawkins earlier this week, and explained why he feels Larry Allen deserves to be in the Hall of Fame. With the 2013 Pro Football Hall of Fame announcements earlier today, it is clear others agree. Below is a highlight of what Smith told FOX Sports Radio:

Hawkins: “Make a case for Larry Allen. He’s up for the Hall of Fame, and you’re in the Hall of Fame, Mike Irving’s in the Hall of Fame, Troy Aikman – none of the linemen.”

Emmitt Smith: “When you hear other players on former teams, and other teams, say that a couple defensive linemen and defensive ends caught the “Allen Flu” the week we played the Cowboys, that means, ‘I’m not getting in front of Larry Allen this week. I’m going to sit out this week.’ And that has happened on some teams. So that says a lot about the player they were about to go up against. You’re talking about a guy that was over 300 and something pounds, that can run like a deer… Not to mention, he bench pressed over 600 pounds. And he’s about as gentle as gentle can come, in person. But on that football field, he is a terror.”

Quotable Interviews from the FOX Sports Radio Super-Stage on Media Row in New Orleans

FOX-Radio QUOTABLE INTERVIEWS FROM THE FOX SPORTS RADIO

SUPER-STAGE ON MEDIA ROW IN NEW ORLEANS

LOS ANGELES, January 31, 2013 – Below are today’s highlights from FOX Sports Radio’s week-long Super Bowl remote broadcast from the network’s super-stage on Media Row in New Orleans. Guests include four-time Super Bowl champion Bill Romanowski, NFL Hall of Famer and three-time Super Bowl champion Emmitt Smith, Houston Texans Pro Bowl Defensive End JJ Watt, San Francisco 49ers CEO Jed York, NFL Hall of Famer Ronnie Lott, former Denver Broncos Wide Receiver Rod Smith and former Baltimore Ravens Running Back Jamal Lewis.

FOX Sports Daybreak

Former NFL All-Pro and four-time Super Bowl champion, Bill Romanowski tells FOX Sports Daybreak’s Andy Furman and Artrell Hawkins the substance Ray Lewis was accused of taking, is harmless:

Furman: “So we can ask you if you’ve ever used deer spray?”

Romanowski: “Guys, I’m giving it to my daughter! It’s the biggest bunch of bull crap I’ve ever heard in my life! This whole thing…is such hog wash, I can’t even tell you. I know about this stuff; I live, eat, breathe nutrition; supplements – all day long, every day. I have my own company…In drug testing, there’s a list. For me, that list was the bible. When I played, I knew that list inside and out. And what will happen is a guy will get popped, and he was taking the real thing. So he goes to the NFL, they go through this whole little trial thing and he says, ‘I wasn’t taking such and such; I was taking deer antler. Look at the properties. Look at the breakdown of it.’ And they look at it and they’ll say, ‘Well, that’s not on the list. Okay, we’ll let you off this time but we better put it on the list.’ That’s how it works. And there are a number of things that are on that list – you could give to your baby and it’s not going to affect them.”

The NFL’s all-time leading Rusher and three-time Super Bowl champion Emmitt Smith spoke to Furman and Hawkins about one former teammate who, he believes, deserves to be in the Hall of Fame:

Hawkins: “Make a case for Larry Allen; he’s up for the Hall of Fame. And you’re in the Hall of Fame, Mike Irving’s in the Hall of Fame, Troy Aikman – none of the linemen.”

Emmitt Smith: “When you hear other players on former teams, and other teams, say that a couple defensive linemen and defensive ends caught the “Allen Flu” the week we played the Cowboys. That means, I’m not getting in front of Larry Allen this week. I’m going to sit out this week. And that has happened on some teams.

Jay Mohr Sports

Houston Texans Pro Bowl Defensive End JJ Watt stopped by Jay Mohr Sports, and discussed NFL players throughout his history who have changed their position. Watt said he came into the league with that exact same mindset:

Mohr: “When they start calling you JJ Swatt, you’ve got to start thinking to yourself, ‘Hey, wait a minute, I’m changing the position a little bit.”

Watt: “I appreciate that. It’s kind of what I’m trying to do. As a 3-4 defensive end, when I came into the league, they told me that the perception of the 3-4 D-End is that they eat up blockers and they don’t really make plays on their own. And so I said,  ‘Why not? Why can’t I be a play maker? Why can’t I do these things?’ So, I kind of set out on a goal to change the position. And so I’m glad people are kind of seeing that, and I’m glad people see me as a playmaker in this position.”

FOX Sports Primetime featuring Pat O’Brien with Steve Hartman

San Francisco 49ers CEO Jed York joined Fox Sports Primetime featuring Pat O’Brien with Steve Hartman, and talked about how Jim Harbaugh got up the guts to make the Quarterback switch to Colin Kaepernick midseason:

Hartman: “What was your reaction when Coach Harbaugh decided to make that Quarterback change permanent?”

York: “It’s just one of those things where it’s an unconventional decision. A lot of coaches are afraid to do something that gives them, potentially, a better chance to win but might fail and look like they made the wrong choice – that’s not who Jim is. He’s not the most conventional coach…I give him a lot of credit for having the guts to make that call when I don’t know that there are many other coaches in the league that would have done it.”

Petros & Money

NFL Hall of Famer Ronnie Lott joined Petros & Money’s Petros Papadakis and Matt “Money” Smith, and talked about his San Francisco 49ers, the job that Jim Harbaugh has done with the team, and if the 49ers have a shot at winning the Super Bowl:

Papadakis: “Being a hard-nosed football guy yourself, and not a perimeter dude, how gratifying is it to see the 9ers back in the Super Bowl, but back in the Super Bowl with this brand of football?”

Lott: “Harbaugh’s brought an incredible brand of football – of discipline – an incredible brand of football of guys going out and playing tough, not beating themselves. And all of a sudden you realize that here, in the last two years…the best football that I’ve seen in a long, long time. And so now, playing in the Super Bowl…I really think they have an excellent shot at winning this game. It’s going to come down to them playing their brand of football; they have to do it one more game. If they can do it one more game, they’ve got a shot at going – at least in mind – starting a little dynasty because of the youth of this team.”

FOX Sports Tonight

At Media Day this week, San Francisco 49ers Wide Receiver Randy Moss wasn’t bashful when asked about his place in football history, declaring himself the greatest receiver to play the game. Another great Wide Receiver and former Denver Bronco Rod Smith joined Fox Sports Tonight’s Rob Dibble and Amy Van Dyken, and shared his thoughts on the comment:

Van Dyken: “If Randy Moss is not the best, who is the best Wide Receiver in NFL history?”

Smith: “I can say this, because I really do like Randy Moss…when you look at overall stats and everything, honestly, Jerry Rice owns that category…He gave guys like myself, you know, that hope and that dream in the business and showed us what to do. It was a craft to him, he wasn’t just out there playing football; he made that position…You just look at the numbers and what he put up.  Honestly it’s kind of unfair that he was that much better than everybody at that position. But, you know, guys like Moss and guys like T.O., man, they came up and they did some big things; they were definitely more feared, but I’m telling you right now – Jerry Rice is the best receiver to ever put on cleats.”

J.T. “The Brick:

Baltimore Ravens Linebacker Ray Lewis was the story of Super Bowl Media Day after a Sports Illustrated report came out linking Lewis to a banned substance – deer antler spray. Former Ravens Running Back Jamal Lewis joined J.T. “The Brick,” and made it a point to defend the credibility of his ex-teammate:

Lewis: “Well I’ll tell you this – it’ll play out in New Orleans, and you know Ray is a hard worker. He’s the type of guy that, when he’s playing, he doesn’t take anything. He works hard and takes care of his body. He’s a great athlete and a great person, and I just don’t understand why they would even bring this out because it’s just a bunch of baloney, if you ask me.”
