I didn't say what I said to be controversial just because most people are picking the Patriots to win. I consider myself a pretty good judge of talent when it comes to defensive linemen and the Panthers' biggest strength is their defensive line. You win the battle of the trenches and that goes a long way to winning the game.

Warren Sapp

A lot of these defensive linemen, they're real whirling dervishes - they do all these fancy moves.

Mike Daniels

I feel like I've helped create a new standard of hustle for defensive linemen.

Jevon Kearse

But when an offensive sputters and looks out of synch, you can bet one of the defensive linemen is responsible.

Mark Schlereth

I recruit defensive players first. That's where most games are won. Then you've got to get the offensive linemen.

Lee Corso

In order to be one of the best defensive linemen in the NFL - which I am - it's doing things that other people aren't willing to do.

Mike Daniels

Defensive lineman in the 3-4 isn't a glory position. He is supposed to tie up as many linemen as possible in order to free the linebackers.

John Matuszak

One time, I was practicing against the Tennessee Titans, and one of their defensive linemen took a cheap shot at our running back, so I planted him.

Baron Corbin

I kinda like this Jay-Z thing, where he’s retired, but he keeps doing shows. I think I beat him to that. If you say you’re retired, people don’t bother you so much, and then if you want to do something, you can do it.

Bill Murray

I see more now. As far as concepts, I know where teammates are going, linemen are going. I can read defensive fronts. I can read the body language of linebackers. I study film to see who's a bull rusher and who's a finesse rusher. I think I've learned.

Brandon Jacobs

Obviously, teams are passing a lot more, and there are rules that... allow the offense to be more explosive, so you want to have as many defensive players and defensive playmakers and defensive backs that you can.

Nnamdi Asomugha

I don't want to be someone sitting in my rocking chair at the end saying, 'Well, I passed.' My mum used to say life isn't for sissies.

Michael Ignatieff

I guess the negative thing that happens to me is that I'm old now. They said there was a generation I was too young for and now some will say there's probably 10 generations I'm too old for. They'll say, isn't he dead or retired or whatever? Or it just becomes fashionable to say "Oh he's not funny anymore," which, I don't know, maybe to them I'm not. I'm more likely to hear that now than I am to hear that I'm unacceptably risqué.

Dave Barry

I've retired a couple of times. It's great, because you can just say, 'Oh, I'm sorry. I'm retired.'

Bill Murray

I want to concentrate on winning things with Barcelona and Argentina. Then if people want to say nice things about me when I have retired, great. Right now, I need to concentrate on being part of a team - not just on me.
