“We did not expect the running game to play this well against the number-one ranked New York Jets defense.”
– DEION SANDERS on the Indianapolis Colts running game vs. New York Jets
“Number 4 had a fantastic season. It didn’t end the way he wanted it to, we all know that, but did he make the Vikings better? You’re darn right he did.”
– STEVE MARIUCCI on Vikings QB Brett Favre and the Minnesota Vikings
“What a day to be named ‘Pierre’ in the National Football League.”
– RICH EISEN on Saints RB Pierre Thomas’ 14 carries for 61 yards, 1 TD in win vs. Vikings and Colts WR Pierre Garcon’s 11 receptions for 151 yards, 1 TD in win vs. Jets
“The key was you had six fumbles and lost three of them. That was the difference in the game. In every category, the Minnesota Vikings should have on those [NFC Championship] hats.”
– DEION SANDERS on the Minnesota Vikings’ 31-28 loss vs. New Orleans Saints in NFC Championship game
“They played the ‘bend, don’t break’ defense and they played it to perfection. You can give up as many points as you want, as long as you have one more than the other team in the end. That’s playing ‘bend, don’t break.’”
– MICHAEL IRVIN on the New Orleans Saints defense
“When you give this guy an opportunity, he can make these throws, he can make these plays. He is a winner.”
– MICHAEL IRVIN on Jets QB Mark Sanchez’s 80-yard TD pass to WR Braylon Edwards
“These guys made crucial plays at crucial times.”
– MICHAEL IRVIN on Colts WRs Austin Collie and Pierre Garcon
“The rush defense for the Colts was the key to this game. They needed to play well and they did.”
– STEVE MARIUCCI on the Colts rush defense
“I defy anyone to put together a season like that at age 40.”
– RICH EISEN on Vikings QB Brett Favre
“His biggest asset is his biggest liability. He’s a gunslinger.”
– MICHAEL IRVIN on Vikings QB Brett Favre
“He looks like a Mayweather opponent.”
– DEION SANDERS on Vikings QB Brett Favre’s physical appearance in postgame presser
“He’s a finesse player, but he’ll run you over when he wants to.”
– MICHAEL IRVIN on Saints RB Reggie Bush
