Zitat des Tages von John Elway:
To be able to get a football team that's capable of competing for world championships, you always got to get a little bit lucky, but you got to have all phases to win it all.
I always believe there's a reason why you go through everything.
You learn a lot more from the lows because it makes you pay attention to what you're doing.
How ironic, to be my last game that I ever played would be against Dan in a Super Bowl. The thing I always was afraid of was playing in a Super Bowl when it was raining. I can't throw a wet ball.
I can't compare quarterbacks as apples and oranges in my mind because everybody's in a different system.
I look at my career and it's still hard for me to believe the way things turned out and how things happened. I've been so blessed.
I've experienced the highest of highs and lowest of lows. I think to really appreciate anything you have to be at both ends of the spectrum.
There are a lot of people who might not get another chance to win a Super Bowl, not just me.
I would have loved to have played for Joe Gibbs. Look at his record of winning three Super Bowls.
I would hope this experience would help me if that NFL opportunity were to arise. But I also know that it's a totally different league. There's a lot more to it.
I don't know if I like being the sentimental favorite.
The Arena League is the best thing that could have happened to me because I get to run the whole process. I'm seeing not only the football side but the business side.
There have been openings, but I have not interviewed for any jobs, nor do I want to right now.
I don't have any pangs to where I want to be with the Broncos.
I'm happy with the Arena Football League right now. I'm happy in Denver.
It's really been a better situation for me being with the Crush than it would if I were with the Broncos because this has given me a lot more broad range.
We get done with the game, and it's an absolute downpour 30 minutes later. That's when I thought God was telling me that's enough-time for you to go do something else.
When I retired, I really wanted to spend time with my family and kids. Coaching would have prevented that due to the commitment of the job and travel that goes with it, too.
I was so lucky to walk away with two Super Bowls and know that the last year was positive.
As football players you have all the experience on the field. You don't have the experience off the field.
A guy as great as Brett Favre has been for the length of time he's been, you would hope that he would be able to leave the game with a positive flavor in his mouth.
