Famous quotes by Leigh Steinberg:

"Nobody wants to kill this golden goose. I don't like the salary-cap system. There's nothing I like about it except that it's a system that both sides have been able to agree upon. But that has meant that football's been able to concentrate its energies and efforts at the union and management level on developing new revenue sources and promoting the brand with the general public."

"They are not getting hurt in some frivolous hobby. They are hurt applying themselves to the exact task they've been hired to do. This is a risk that ought to be shared in a fairer way."

"Obviously Mark's been a starter since 1995 and is confident of his ability to lead a team. But he looks forward to the ability to compete for a starting job in training camp."

"It is not in your interest to pull one over on the other side and get them to make a bad deal. You want the situation to be justifiable and reasonable while getting what you want. The two of you might be doing deals in the future."

"[Let's say you're negotiating with a prospective employer.] What's most important to you? ... A signing bonus? Vacation? Job title? Figure that out and you'll know what you can yield on."

"The fact that one plane crashed is tragic, and my heart goes out to those who are affected. But automobiles crash every day."

"Without referring to anybody directly, one of the problems with confrontational public negotiating is that it runs the risk of alienating a public with a median family income of $35,000. So that when a player is complaining publicly that he's only being paid $7-million a year instead of $9-million, a fan can look at that with real anger. And an owner who's challenged publicly may simply become more locked in and less apt to ever compromise."

"The details and the process are in their court. But let me say that I am optimistic about the process. He's planning on returning."

"He's planning on playing for the Dolphins,"

"Never underestimate the capacity of another human being to have exactly the same shortcomings you have."

"I just knew that economics had never been my big motivation."

"Then I went to UCLA - so of course I became a huge Bruin basketball fan... and later came to football."

"The Super Bowl is like a movie, and the quarterback is the leading man."

"But the equipment to protect the players hasn't developed along with that, so now you have more players out with worse injuries, for longer periods of time."

"Hey, our Founding Fathers wore long hair and powdered wigs - I don't see anybody trying to look like them today, either... But we do look to them as role models."

"Now some alien force seems to have come and captured the Dodgers. I don't know what happened to my Dodgers."

"I ran track, and basically played every sport."

"It's learning how to negotiate to keep both sides happy - whether it's for a multi-million dollar contract or just which show to watch on TV, that determines the quality and enjoyment of our lives."

"Cameron was able to get an inside look at professional football from the standpoint of athletes and agents and general managers that few people have ever seen."
