Other teams fear me so much, just my being out there. I could even be playing on my deathbed, and I'd worry them.
There's something about dominant teams that draws fans in. People like to see this; they like to witness dominance.
In Germany there are only two dominating teams, Bayern and Dortmund. In England the top group is broader.
Every team I played for, I pretty much been the dude on it.
Twenty years ago rooting for the Yankees was like rooting for IBM.
We want to be the team that no one can stand to play.
For those not so taken by the star power, this new 'Ocean's Eleven' is the equivalent of a domineering team you can't stand that enters the Super Bowl. Even if you don't like the players, the odds are so good that it's tough to bet against them.
I'm a person who believes that if a team that's producing a champion and producing contenders in that same division, then the coaches should be proud of that and pat themselves on the back because they're really creating a dynasty, so that's the way I take it.
Basketball's eras are defined by teams - Celtics, Lakers, Bulls - and baseball's epochs are defined by players - Ruth, Robinson, Mantle - but with football, it's the sideline strategists, the nutty professors and top coated Lears.
It's not about big markets or small markets. It's not about dominant teams or not. It's about the actual competition and how good the games are, how good the series turn out. That's what I think is the most important for fans.
I'm in pro football to win, to have the Raiders dominate, to have the Raiders global, and we're not going to be able to do that with a half-filled stadium.
In some ways, I was a little bit surprised [by how dominant we were] but then I look at the players in our changing room and it doesn't surprise me because we've got quality in there. If we click and play well like we did in the first half, we can open up any team.
For the last decade, the last 50 years, Barcelona dominate football matches. I love the way they play.
I mean, that's playoff hockey. You're not going to dominate every game, you're not going to score every goal.
Football can stand parity better than any of the other sports, I think. Baseball, basketball and hockey need a defining team, in essence to frame the season. Football? Not so much.
Keeping up your concentration is one of the hardest tasks when you're a centre-back because a team like Bayern tend to dominate and can give you sense of false security.
Yes, I think the '96 Bulls are the greatest of all time. I think the 72-10 record speaks for itself and the fact that we were able to cap it off with a championship. What it boils down to is we had a dominant style, a dominant defense, and we were a very good offensive team. It was the way we dominated our opponents that separated ourselves.
The year we went to our first Super Bowl in 1992, we were the youngest team in football. We played in the Super Bowl against a team that had a wealth of playoff experience and Super Bowl experience, and we dominated that football game.
Amare, Carmelo Anthony, Chauncey Billups - they're virtually unstoppable.
In the end, it's like that: The more I possess the ball, the more dominant we play, and the more often we win.
Football is a game with tight results in which you don't need to be the dominant team; if you're a bit lucky and make the right decision at the right time, then you can be as successful as well.
If there are dominant teams, people enjoy discussing whether that's good or bad for the game, and if there aren't any dominant teams, then people enjoy discussing that.
A few years, there are teams that are just dominant over everyone. Those years are few and far.
One of the things that makes the best teams in the world the best is the fact that, across midfield and up top, they are capable of hurting you.
I like teams to control and dominate the ball so the players are hungry for the ball.
