- John Madden: Andre Rison starts outside, right there, he makes a move. Boom! Right there, and there's no one in the middle of the field.
- John Madden: You know, I think that's part of having a dad as a head coach. He said he learned things like play fake and screens before he learned how to use a knife and fork.
- Pat Summerall: [about Desmond Howard] From a guy who was almost cut in training camp, the first special teams player ever to win the Super Bowl MVP title.
- John Madden: We were talking to Mike Holmgren the other day. He said one thing we didn't want Brett Favre to do is run backwards. He said if he got in trouble, you always want him to run forward, step forward. But when he gets in trouble and runs backwards, he said, all he does is get in more trouble.
- John Madden: Watch him, here's Craig Newsome here and he's gonna unload on Brisby. He's gonna knock the ball out. Watch as it comes up here, now he reacts and he sees it, and now, right there, Boom! He just hit him and knocked everything out of Brisby.
- Pat Summerall: It even made me say, "Boom".
- John Madden: That's one of the first booms of your life.
- Pat Summerall: Yeah.
- John Madden: [about Brett Favre] He has like three knuckles in his foot. They look like a hand, and he can pick up a baseball with his foot. We saw him do it. That is amazing.
- John Madden: Any time you try and cut Reggie, and I've seen him do this for 12 years, he'll jump over it. The one thing you learn, if you're ever gonna block Reggie White is - you can block him different ways, but you're not gonna be successful cutting him. Someone should have told Max Lane that.
