Best quotes, comments, quips or lines?

In today's Sunday Times Hugh McIlvanney says his favourite sports sledging of all was Joe Montana to Ed Jones when the 49ers met the Cowboys in the 1982 clash famous for "the Catch". In the week leading up to the game Jones had said Montana couldn't throw deep enough to hurt Dallas. When Montana connected with a 60 yard pass he turned to 6 ft 9 in Jones and said

"Deep enough for you m***** f*****?"

Which got me thinking of the other great or famous lines about the game or from those in it.

I guess two obvious ones are

"It sucked. It stunk" - Jim Mora and that famous rant

"Winning isn't everything. It's the only thing" - the very quotable Vince Lombardi

"A linebacker's job is to knock out running backs, to knock out receivers, to chase the football."

"When you go in the lion's den, you don't tippy toe in. You carry a spear, you go in screaming like a banshee, you kick whatever doors in, and say, 'Where's the son of a bitch!' If you go in any other way you're gonna lose."
- Brian Billick

"Bradshaw trying to get away. And his pass is...broken up by Tatum...PICKED OFF. FRANCO HARRIS HAS IT...AND HE'S OVER!" - Curt Gowdy

"I've been big ever since I was little."

Red Crow

Bill Belichick @ Superbowl XLV - ""This is still a Cruz-and-Nicks game. I know we're right on them. It's tight, but those are still the guys. Make them go to Manningham, make them go to Pascoe. Let's make sure we get Cruz and Nicks."

The Giants were at their own 12 yard line trailing 15-17 with 3:46 left. Mario Manningham completes an amazing sideline catch that gains 38 yards.

That's probably the only NFL quote I can remember.

A reporter began asking a question by saying, "I harken back..."

Chip cut him off, and asked, "Did you just say harken? Wow."

Reporter: "Harken back..."

Chip: "I like that."

Chip then let the reporter ask his question, which he answered.

On the very next question, another reporter asked him, "When you first got here, did you understand what you had in LeSean McCoy?"

Chip: "Let me harken back to that."
