The bowl games are only supposed to be a fun reward.
You have to be very pragmatic, because you walk out to bat at the best time to bowl, with a brand new ball, against the best bowlers, who are fresh. And their job is to get you out, so when you fail there’s no point beating yourself up.
The first video I ever made, announcing ‘Crash the Super Bowl,’ I did about fifty takes and I wanted to die. It was awful.
I still go have an acai bowl in the morning. I do the same things a 19-year-old kid would do.
We wanted Peyton to have a chance to win another Super Bowl. We have a chance to honor him like we did other players that came back. He’s one of the greatest players. In the end. you look for a great football game, and that’s what you hope for.
I think ultimately the goal is to try to bring a Super Bowl to New Orleans and that’s the reason I signed that deal, because I have a great chance at winning another Super Bowl with the New Orleans Saints.
There are guys that you look at and you want to really bowl at them or bat against them, certain guys who really get your juices flowing.
Every team that goes into training camp thinks they’re a Super Bowl contender.
Giants versus Jets Super Bowl. I’m telling you, that’s all I want to see.
Everything to me is about team football, and if we keep winning Super Bowl trophies, I’ll be fine.
You go to the playoffs to win the Super Bowl. You don’t go to the playoffs to win one game.
I don’t really have any specific numbers as far as what I want to do, how many touchdowns, how many yards. I just want the film to look good, and hopefully that translates to me having a lot of yards and touchdowns, which ultimately leads to us having a shot at the Super Bowl.
The things I felt Baltimore would give me is a team that gives everything for each other and a team that wants to win and has a goal to win a Super Bowl every year.
I constantly diet. People laugh when I arrive at rehearsal with my box of sliced beetroot and bag of chicory, but if I indulge in a cupcake binge or a large bowl of pasta, it shows.
My father had an expression, if you want to know the road ahead, ask the person that’s been there. We found that person. Ten Super Bowl appearances, seven victories… Tom Brady.
My day starts with the chanting of Gayatri Mantra and Om Namah Shivay. I chant them every time I bowl.
Far and away, the question I’m asked most often is, ‘What’s your favorite sporting event to call?’ I can’t say I’ve ever answered the question well, simply because the three biggest events I broadcast for CBS Sports – the Super Bowl, the NCAA Men’s Final Four and the Masters – each are incomparable.
If you go off the Senior Bowl, that’s basically what I can do. I played H-back, I played fullback, I played tight end, I played slot receiver, I ran routes, I caught some balls, blocked, just doing that stuff.
I am broadcaster’s biggest cheerleader because I genuinely believe in it. Where else can you get 20 million people a week watching ‘NCIS’ or ‘American Idol?’ Where else can you get 120 million watching the Super Bowl?
If I am talking to a youngster, I coach him what I feel is best for him to bowl, how to hold the ball, how to bowl certain things, and how to bowl to certain batsmen, how to position himself. I never talk to them about the rules.
That’s been the dream since you were a little kid growing up. You want to be the guy playing in the Super Bowl. It’s what you live for, really.
I have always said that I want to finish my career with the Dolphins and this put me closer to that goal. I have been fortunate to break many personal records, but my overiding goal is to win a Super Bowl here in Miami.
Life is just a bowl of pits.
I’m over it. You strive to win a Super Bowl and you do everything you can to get there. But being in the Hall of Fame, you never play for that honor. It’s incredible.
When I first came into the league, my first three, four years, I had a teammate from college win a Super Bowl.
I’ve never wanted anything as much as I want to win the next Super Bowl.
If you are playing in the right conditions, there is always motivation to bowl fast. If you are playing in the wrong condition then you want to be a batsman.
I find it almost comforting to count calories, because it makes me conscious of what I’m eating. But on Super Bowl Sunday, I thought, ‘Surrender to it. It’s nacho time.’ Then I ate nothing but Doritos all day.
In T20, batsmen are always going after you, so a good policy is to bowl five-six dot balls in your first two-three overs so that pressure builds on the batsman, and he plays riskier shots.
People think that whatever happens on the football field should define me way one or the other. A lot of people say, ‘I can’t believe you don’t think more highly of yourself, two-time MVP, Super Bowl MVP,’ but it’s like, whatever. It just happens to be what I do. I want to be defined by what I believe in, by who I am.
I want to be an asset to the team who can bat or bowl in any position.
The team goals are always more important than individual goals. The ultimate goal is to win the Super Bowl and to do something special. The other little goals that you guys write up, those things take care of itself in the midst of playing football.
I’ve been very competitive by nature from a young age, whether it was eating a bowl of pasta faster than somebody else, or always wanting to be the first one in line.
There’s not a bunch of pressure at the Pro Bowl.
I’d rather spend my Sunday doing just about anything other than watching a football game – unless it’s the Super Bowl.
What is the biggest public forum in the United States? We were told it’s the Super Bowl. The ad shows kids working at blue-collar jobs, and the final statement is just written text: Who’s going to pay for the trillion dollar deficit?
The free market is at its best when everybody works in a fish bowl and tells you their point of view… The hedge funds and portfolio managers have a right to do this… We’ve muted the analysts and their presence in the system.
If I can’t win a Super Bowl, so what? What would it do for me?
Tools can rule men sooner than they expect; the plow makes man the lord of the garden but also the refugee from the dust bowl.
I never make a movie for awards consideration. I will use the hope of getting an Academy Award a) to honor the people who work so hard and also b) it’s the greatest Good Housekeeping seal in the world. It’s the greatest brand. It’s as good as Louis Vuitton and Dior in the world of moviemaking. It’s the Super Bowl.
When I tell people that I get interviewed five or six times more than I will interview players or coaches leading up to the game that comes as a surprise. That’s part of it and it just goes with being part of a Super Bowl broadcast team. I enjoy it.
No one will bowl at 90mph all day every day. There will be spells when you have to bowl within yourself.
And now we’re in a world where players are skipping some of these bowl games, people are talking about the only bowl games that matter are the playoff, and I just happen to disagree with that wholeheartedly.
Shankar Basu introduced me to a different type of training that eventually helped me increase my pace. That, in turn, went on to help me bowl at the death, too.
I’ve never been more nervous in my life than singing the national anthem at the Super Bowl.
Heaven is a bowl of creamed herring and onions. Ditto whitefish salad. But the real object of my desire for all things gilled is gefilte fish.
A hot, deep bowl of venison chili is as close to manna from Heaven as you’re likely to find in deer camp.
Even clingfilm – if it’s gone over a salad bowl, take it off, use it again. I wash out carrier bags; I save brown paper from parcels. I save string; I save ribbons. I separate all my bits and pieces.
A lot is made of the pink ball. But it is the same really. A good ball is a good ball, regardless of the colour. You might want to bowl a touch fuller with the pink ball when it is nipping around but generally a pink kookaburra behaves the same as a red kookaburra.
You have to have sound mechanics to repeat the same delivery each time. That’s the hard part. Since I don’t bowl all the time I’m not consistent with my mechanics.
Well, Judy, I would hope in the new year, we could start thinking about politics not like it was the Super Bowl, where you always have to have one team that wins and the other team has to be a loser.
I want to be so far removed from the idea that it’s like, ‘Oh, right, he won a Super Bowl.’ Football is only a small part of your life.
I have finished second twice in my time at Green Bay, and I don’t ever want to finish second again. There is a second place bowl game, but it is a game for losers played by losers. It is and always has been an American zeal to be first in anything we do, and to win, and to win, and to win.
I lost seventy pounds eating nothing but Jello for 4 months. But of course there is great variety in the colors! I think, if I remember correctly, it’s 230 calories for a whole bowl. Maybe 270? In the 5th month, I added fruit.
We’ve brought championships to Tampa and we’ve had successes elsewhere. But one thing that drives us day in and day out is we have one Super Bowl ring but we’ve got many more fingers.
Going back to the first time, your first dreams of playing in the NFL, you don’t just dream of playing in the NFL. You dream of playing in the Super Bowl.
