The following come from past participants (though not necessarily in connection with the big game):
“Gentlemen, we are going to relentlessly chase perfection, knowing full well we will not catch it, because nothing is perfect. But we are going to relentlessly chase it, because in the process we will catch excellence.” – New Green Bay Packer (and former St. Cecilia of Englewood) coach Vince Lombardi, in his first address to his team in 1959, as recalled by quarterback Bart Starr
“When you seek to lead a life of integrity and to make a difference in the lives of others, it’s incredible what you can accomplish—and we have that opportunity every day.”—Bart Starr, 2008
"I'll play anywhere for $15,000." – Green Bay Packer Herb Adderly, on being asked if he would rather play the game in Miami or Los Angeles
"We're going to win on Sunday. I guarantee it." – New York Jet Joe Namath
"Terry Bradshaw couldn't spell 'cat' if you spotted him the 'C' and the 'A.'" – Dallas Cowboy Thomas “Hollywood” Henderson (Note: Henderson didn’t win the big game; Bradshaw did; Henderson went to jail because of involvement with drugs; Bradshaw went to the Football Hall of Fame. Which do YOU think was smarter?)
"Nobody in football should be called a genius. A genius is a guy like Norman Einstein." – Washington Redskin Joe Theismann
"We're not attempting to circumcise rules." – Pittsburgh Steeler coach Bill Cowher
"He should stop talking like he's the smartest guy in football. He's talking nuclear this, nuclear that. All he has to remember is 'Hut, hut' and go chase the ball ... Some guys get full of themselves and I think you guys have Simeon a little full right now.” -- Oakland Raider guard Frank Middleton about Tampa Bay defensive end Simeon Rice
“That's why I was out in the streets. To make sure no one else was." – Oakland Raider John Matuszak, on why he stayed out all night partying after forbidding teammates to do likewise
"If it's the ultimate game, how come they're playing it again next year?" – Dallas Cowboy Duane Thomas
