Everything has been written. Everybody knows everything about me. There are no secrets. Except the skeletons in my closet. Kirby Puckett
I was told I would never make it because I'm too short. Well, I'm still too short. It doesn't matter what your height is, it's what's in your heart. Kirby Puckett
I don't love football the way I once loved the game. I don't look at it as fun anymore, and it definitely used to be fun. A lot of the fun has been taken away from it, I guess, because you go through so much on the field and off the field. Eric Dickerson
Playing the running back position, your legs, that's your living, that's how you make your living. You have to have great thighs, knees, everything. Eric Dickerson
I'd love to be in the Hall of Fame one day and win Super Bowl rings, or even one... and stay healthy. Eric Dickerson
I love golf. But do you know how I got good at golf? Because of Charles Barkley. I was playing with Charles, Michael Jordan and Roy Green, and Charles was talking so much trash. On every shot, he was talking trash. So I left the tournament, and I went and practiced for a year and half. Eric Dickerson

You know, I think when I reflect on it, I think there's certainly a sense of history. When you have ambitions to play this game, you want to be one of the best ever, and you want to play so well and be so effective that you want people to remember your name 100 years from now. Marcus Allen
I just felt like reflecting on my junior year, when I didn't know what I was doing, I left a lot of stuff out there. Actually, I gained close to 700 yards more and I took myself out of a lot of games. Marcus Allen
Last year we had so many people coming in and out they didn't bother to sew their names on the backs of the uniforms. They just put them there with Velcro. Andy Van Slyke
Every season has its peaks and valleys. What you have to try to do is eliminate the Grand Canyon. Andy Van Slyke
I can only guess that, for guys in their 30s and 40s who watched me play, they understood that the score never mattered and my paycheck never mattered (in relation) to how I played. I played with Little League enthusiasm and professional flair. That's what fans are really looking for. Andy Van Slyke
