John Madden quotes

Hey all. Over the past few days, I've been in a number of conversations with the staff guys where we have mentioned a John Madden quote and just rolled over laughing. So I thought it would only be appropriate to search some out and put my favorites here.

Be reminded that my only assurance that Madden said these is that each of them appear over and over again on other people's blogs and discussion boards. So, Mr. Madden, if you did not say any of them, I apologize for attributing them to you.

In no particular order:

1. "When your arm gets hit, the ball is not going to go where you want it to."
2. "Hey, the offensive linemen are the biggest guys on the field, they're bigger than everybody else, and that's what makes them the biggest guys on the field."
3. "The goal of football is to score more points than your opponent."
4. "Whenever you talk about a Mike Shanahan offense, you always talk about his offense."
5. "Here's a guy who when he runs, he moves faster."
6. "From the waist down, Earl Campbell has the biggest legs I have ever seen on a running back."
7. "He would have scored a touchdown if he hadn't been tackled right there."
8. "Here's a guy who can use his arms and legs at the same time."
9. "90% of the time, the game is half mental."
