Random quotes from around the NFL
Packers QB Brett Favre on Vikings DT Chris Hovan, who reportedly has hung a Favre jersey in his locker for motivation: “I didn't put up anything in my house. My wife wouldn't let me. Like I said before, Hovan's a great player. I'd love to have him on my team. But he needs to get him a wife and have some kids and get a life outside of football. … This will probably get back to him, and he'll start barking and stuff like that. He'll put more stuff of Favre out there. Five or six years from now, he'll go, 'God, what an idiot I was.’ ”
Favre, fielding reporters’ questions about when he might retire: “You guys will probably be asking me the same thing three years from now.”
Former Nebraska star Eric Crouch, 24, telling Omaha television station KPTM why he quit the Packers this week: “I'm ready to move on. I've been a football player for a long time. I've loved it. It's been a lot of fun.”
Bengals CB Dennis Weathersby, shot in the back a week before the draft, on the most trying aspect of his ordeal: “The toughest part? Just knowing that I've got to constantly look over my shoulder because of what's happened to me. Every day's not a given. ... After that happens, you realize there's a lot of things I can't control.”
Chiefs head coach Dick Vermeil on how RB Priest Holmes looked on the first day of training camp: “I was really pleased. All the speculation was more speculation than fact. I thought he looked very good. I watched to see if he favored anything or showed any signs, and didn't see anything different.”
Lions head coach Steve Mariucci, who has a potentially great tandem in QB Joey Harrington and WR Charles Rogers, on the learning curve for young players: “I'm not going to place a crazy amount of expectations on young players too soon. Even the great quarterbacks like Brett Favre, and the great receivers like Jerry (Rice) or Terrell Owens, go through a learning process. It doesn't happen overnight, and it's not just about those two positions.”
