I have to admit, between the Seahawks games and the Blazer games and playoffs games, we're talking about close to 100 games a year, so I don't really follow other sports a lot.

Paul Allen

I would like to be in the playoffs. I would hope that there is some opportunity to go and play in the playoffs. Those are the best games, the most fun for sure, and you have a chance to win.

Jarome Iginla

Playing pretty big minutes in the playoffs and having career games in the playoffs is something you dream of as a kid but never really think will happen.

Joe Ingles

I think your goal is to win every single game you play. ... I'm not a guy that just puts a number on it and says we're going to do this, or makes a bravado statement like, "We're going to the playoffs and I guarantee it." I'm not a guy that talks about what we're going to do. I'm just, "Let's do it." And what it is is, we need to work extremely hard.

Chip Kelly

Commenting on playoffs to determine a national champion: I'm not in favor of 15 games either. I think that's way too much football. The thing that I feel good about is that these guys hung together through 15 games and played hard every week. That's a marvelous tribute to the kids. We just hung in there today and kept playing. It's just been a special feeling all year long.

LaVell Edwards

I just want to win as a team, take road games, play some of the top teams and beat them to make the playoffs.

Kevin Knox

The playoffs are the playoffs. You just play who is put in front of you.

Steve Nash

I could play through anything. But just thinking about I have kids, longevity, I probably would have made more of a conscious effort not to hit the floor, but at the end of the day in the playoffs, you can't play that way. You just have to play and give it your all.

Rajon Rondo

There's nothing less than that. I don't care about just going to the playoffs; I've been to the playoffs before.

Allen Iverson

It's just not thinking about starting all the time. You'll think, 'Just because I'm having good games, I need to be in the starting lineup.' Your teammates and coaches respect you even more if you're having good games and you're not worrying about it.

Donte DiVincenzo

All the top players in the world play 45-50-60 games. You need that many games, even the strikers need that many games.

Sunil Chhetri

I don't pay attention to accolades or any of that stuff because I think it can serve as a distraction, so for me, I just focus on winning games, trying to make the playoffs.

Malcolm Brogdon

I don't play the console games too much. I did a little bit growing up, but what I enjoy about my iPhone and the mobile games is you already have your phone with you, so it's easy if you're on a bus ride to just take it out and play.

Buster Posey

Not only do you have 16 regular-season games, you also have four preseason games. Then if you make the playoffs, you can have four more games before you get to the Super Bowl. So you can already have 24 games without the 18-game season. And 24 games takes a real toll on somebody's body.

Peyton Hillis

I hated to miss games... at the height of my career, I missed a lot of games due to... just a hamstring pull. And I hated sitting out. I just hated it. You play for your team, but you also play for the people who attend the games.
