Since he has a new job I thought I would take some time to focus on one of my favorite quote machines…Coach Herman Edwards. This is the coach who sounds like one of your uncles or that older black guy that lived on your block and he is always on. Let’s share in his wisdom.

“You do what’s best for your team, … throw passes and get (the quarterback) killed. Are you kidding me? For what? That’s ridiculous.”

“He can wake up at 4:30 and rush the quarterback.”

“It was important that Mike got a chance to kick some field goals, … I was praying he’d make that first one (from 48) because you guys would’ve been all over him.”

“Family policy stays in the house. Done.”

“All I can tell you is the truth, what I was told, and that’s what I did. I don’t lie.”

“To be a baby, it’s a pretty good. You get fed. You get held. People say they love you every day. You get held. People say they love you every day. You get a lot of presents. Every once in a while, I don’t think I would mind being in that bassinet today.”

on Randy Moss: “When he comes off the bus and he goes into your stadium, you’ve got issues.”

“You’ve got to earn it. You can’t count on other people to do your job for you.”

“A scared man won’t gamble and he won’t leave his wife alone at home, I’m not scared.”

And of course the one to rule them all

“You play - to win - the game!”
