Everyone wants to beat us. So you can never take a single game lightly.

If something is said about the Raiders, I'm ready to go to war.

I also played in the 1967 Super Bowl against the Green Bay Packers.

Everyday I walked on to the field I was the best center.

I was told in high school that the last game during your senior year stays with you forever, which is true.

When I hear anything derogatory towards the Raiders, I am definitely hurt.

You have to stay one level above everyone else.

It's not that difficult to win. It's more difficult to win consistently and stay on top.

I think the officials and NFL owners are playing to the type of game that people want to see.

If the entire team can feel the same way about these things, you can consistently remain a winner.

I think the tougher the challenge the better.

And as a true athlete, mistakes haunt you forever.

Everyone wants to beat us. So you can never take a single game lightly.

I have seen the Raiders develop into what they are today.

I think Ray Guy and John Madden for sure should be in the Hall of Fame and Cliff Branch should be as well.

But now there are more concussions due to not being used to the hard hitting.

I work here at the Raiders. My position is basically what I make it.

I've been a Raider all my life.

You must also give mental and physical fitness priority.

It was a very exciting time for me to play professional football, finally.

We have three tremendous tight ends in Christianson, Casper, and Chester.

We have always had great and loyal fans in Oakland.

The first game I played. We played against the Dallas Texans.

There is hard hitting, but the hitting is not nearly as hard as it used to be.

The NFL offensive blocking is played differently; they use their hands instead of their head and shoulders.

The plays I remember are the plays I made a mistake.

I have been a part of this development, so I am very proud of it.

The election in Iraq clearly demonstrates that Iraqi people are like people everywhere. They desire to create a future in an environment that is safe and allows them to reach their full potential as human beings, whatever that potential may be.

I always loved television. I always loved movies.

But for 30 years, Orthodox leaders have tipped the balance between hawks and doves, and have been in a position to determine who forms a coalition and who runs the country.

Our siblings. They resemble us just enough to make all their differences confusing and no matter what we choose to make of this we are cast in relation to them our whole lives long.

To me, the greatest invention of my lifetime is the laptop computer and the fact that I can be working on a book and be in an airport lounge, in a hotel room, and continue working; I fire up my laptop, and I'm in exactly the same place I was when I left home - that, to me, is a miracle.

I really wanted to find a piano for the farm house. There were so many free pianos on Craigslist, I thought, 'Let's get as many free pianos as we can and stick them all in the barn.' I got eight in a short period of time, only six of which were tunable, but it's still quite funny.

In space-flight terms, six landings on the moon back in the Sixties and Seventies doesn't mean much.

The fact is that trauma and risk taking hadn't become scarier over the years; it had become more normal.

The sanity of society is a balance of a thousand insanity's.
