Famous quotes by New York Giants:

"But I don't know if I have played in a place where a team had a reason to dislike me,"

"I'm sure he feels much more comfortable now,"

"Some of it is belief, ... A lot of guys who have gone through Pittsburgh believe in that system more than anything else. It's been very good to them. The Patriots, it's been very good to them also."

"Certainly we've had our ups and downs over the years, and we don't always agree, but I like Drew because he's direct and a dealmaker, ... I frankly enjoy working with him because what you see is what you get."

"We're very close to concluding a deal"

"(Rice's) conditioning really has been a measuring stick for everybody in this league, ... It is so easy for us to point to Jerry Rice when we are trying to make a strong message with a player who we may not feel is as serious about his game as he should be."

"I felt fine, ... I wanted to take all of the snaps, but [coach Tom Coughlin] took me out and I don't argue with the head man about that. But I was making all the throws. I threw some deep ones that actually had too much on them. I have to work on the timing on some of those things, but it felt good throwing."

"I felt fine, ... I wanted to take all of the snaps, but (coach Tom Coughlin) took me out and I don't argue with the head man about that. But I was making all the throws. I threw some deep ones that actually had too much on them. I have to work on the timing on some of those things, but it felt good throwing."

"You can go out there and get your neck broken and be paralyzed, ... It's a dangerous job we do."

"[But what's not clear is whether all these players posturing for money is good for the image of the NFL or the quality of its product. The league has always benefited from the perception that the players' paychecks really do hinge on performance, and that a failure to produce could lead directly to unemployment. As players (and agents) get more strident in voicing their salary gripes, fans may begin to view them as no different than the me-first jocks in other sports. Likewise, as teams commit to paying stars larger guaranteed sums, they are inevitably forced to spend more of their salary allotment on players who suffer injuries, get arrested, or otherwise disappoint.] There is a lot more dead money now, ... You're basically married to a player for at least two or three years."
