“I’m hard-nosed about luck. I think it sucks. Yeah, if you spend seven years looking for a job as a copywriter, and then one day somebody gives you a job, you can say, Gee, I was lucky I happened to go up there today. But, dammit, I was going to go up there sooner or later in the next seventy years. If you’re persistent in trying and doing and working, you almost make your own fortune.”

"Okay, it’s my turn to bitch about something. Everyone places so much importance on having the playoff bye week. Well, we got it weeks ago, but now everyone thinks we’ve had too much time off. But the bye week is secondary to home-field throughout. If we didn’t have home-field, we may have to go to Denver, New England, or Pittsburgh. It’s chilly in those places. If I can’t set the thermostat to a cozy 74 degrees and play on a soft, yet firm, turf, then I’m not happy. ‘Roughing it’ to Peyton Manning is setting up a tent in my garage and napping on an air mattress. If I even hear about snow in New England, I wet my pants." – Peyton Manning
