If you think and achieve as a team, the individual accolades will take care of themselves. Talent wins games, but teamwork and intelligence win championships.
You never lose a game if the opponent doesn't score.
The way I play is not to prove anybody wrong. It's to help my teammates win games.
The big-time player makes big-time plays in big-time games and that's what we need to keep doing.
Getting hurt and watching Tom Brady take over and beginning what's been just a spectacular run of his, and to come back and play in the AFC Championship Game against the Steelers in Pittsburgh, and help us win that game, is a memory that stands out very clearly.
Field goal kicking is wildly exciting for all the wrong reasons. We regularly interrupt games to go for a ride on the equivalent of Disney's stomach-in-throat Tower of Terror.
Football, particularly Brazilian football, is about being happy, and that's what tricks do. It's part of our culture, at the end of the day, though, it's all about winning.
Records are always something that will be achieved, but they're not our aim. Our aim is to win games and nothing more.
One of the main things that's appealing about games is that you know a game can be won. It's an unusual game that's impossible to win.
You can't just sit back and think you're gonna pack the paint in and win games. You've gotta guard that three-point line.
I recruit defensive players first. That's where most games are won. Then you've got to get the offensive linemen.
There's been a lot of talk of me being a one-man show but that's simply not the case. We win games when I score 40 points and we've won when I score 10.
Pitching keeps you in the games. Home runs win the game.
Defense, for me, is where I really love to put work in most. Defense is, in my mind, what wins games.
No coach has ever won a game by what he knows; it's what his players know that counts.
In fact, one of the conversations I had with Jason Garrett, you know, sometimes X's and O's get so complicated, and a coach gets so into that that he forgets the most important thing is players win ballgames. Make sure that the players are properly equipped and motivated to do their jobs.
I can remember games where the crowd was the reason we won it. It's well known the Kings have incredible fans.
I think there's a lot of different ways to score points and win football games and be efficient offensively, just like there is on defense and special teams. That's what makes this great game so special.
The reason I think I'm a good pitcher is I locate my fastball and I change speeds. Period. That's what you do to pitch. That's what pitchers have to do to win games.
We're trying to win football games, and whoever we feel like gives us the best chance is who's going to play behind center.
You can't quantify everything a player does to win games.
Of course, we also have the responsibility to win games and the difficulty in the job is to combine both.
Don't play for one run unless you know that run will win a ballgame.
I said to myself I've got to go up there and do it because the New York Mets keep winning every day. The game was on the line and I wanted to go out there and come through for my team. That win tonight means a lot for us.
It's like I was taught and I'm always saying it. Offense wins games, defense wins championships.
