“One of the reasons I'm lucky is to be around an owner like Jerry Jones. I'm not just saying it. The reality of it is the guy wants to win. As a quarterback, you need ownership and people in the front office and organization to help you win. If you don't get that help, you're always going to be fighting an uphill battle. You feel that, being a part of this organization with Jerry, that he's going to bring in people and sign people and want to improve this football team every year. It allows you to feel like, hey, we have a chance and I have a chance to do some special things around here.” PeopleIfsWantNeedsFeelsYearsReasonHelpingRealityGuyFightingWinningChanceTeamSpecialFrontsFootballBattleLuckyOfficeOrganizationHeyOwnersOwnershipQuarterbackJerryFootball TeamJust SayingSpecial ThingsUphill BattlesFront Office Author:Tony Romo
“One guy can ruin an instrument. Jimi Hendrix, bless his heart - how I wish he was still around - almost inadvertently ruined guitar. Because he was the only cat who could do it like that.

But it ain't; you've got to be a Jimi to do that, you've got to be one of the special cats.” HeartStillsGuyWishAnswersSpecialCatInstrumentsGuitarRuinsBlessRuinedHendrixWailing Author:Keith Richards

“Guy Savelli's role in the War on Terror began when half-a-dozen strangers, within days of one another, contacted him via e-mail and telephone in the winter of 2003.

“I'm sure there have been guys who didn't realize they had a concussion and just kept playing. It's a violent game. The head injuries are the most dangerous to play with.
