Here's a sample:
48. "We liked a couple of those receivers up there, but we didn't feel there was a guy that was going to come in and make more of a contribution than a linebacker." - Dave Wannstedt, on why he chose Eddie Moore over Anquan Boldin in the 2003 draft.
40. "We've never been closer [to the Super Bowl]." - Wannstedt, after the 2002 season
35. "I don't think they have our number. To me, having someone's number is when you kick their [butt) all the time, like what the Jets do to us. I think we give the Bills a pretty good game." - defensive coordinator Tom Olivadotti after a 1993 loss to Buffalo
32. "Dammit! How many times have I told you?" - Jimmy Johnson, throwing a portable television at offensive coordinator Gary Stevens on the flight back from the New England playoff loss in 1997 after watching the video and seeing the Patriots had stolen the Dolphins' calls (from former scouting director Bob Ackles' autobiography, The Water Boy)
30. "With Larry Shannon coming to our football team, by the way, he's probably a step faster than Randy Moss. So he's bigger, he's taller, he's faster. Sometimes everybody gets all carried away, for instance, with Moss and I don't want to be talking about somebody else's player. I'm just going to make an example. Some of these people get so carried away. I'd like to pull them aside and say, how many films did you grade in coming to your evaluation?' - Jimmy Johnson after passing on Moss in the 1998 draft
AND MY PERSONAL FAVORITE:
23. "What can Trent Green do that Jay can't? He's not as good an athlete. Jay will make every throw. [Green] played this year, and I don't think really helped his stock much." - Dave Wannstedt, on why he liked quarterback Jay Fiedler over the available Trent Green in January 2001
