There's nothing worse than seeing someone hurt out on the football field.
Success, you know, is a relative thing.
There are all sorts of challenging conversations as a parent and it's never easy. I think the main thing is trying to be fair, sometimes there has to be a little bit of discipline, maybe even punishment involved in trying to make your child understand, learn from bad experiences and make sure they don't happen again.
The best advice I try to give a young quarterback is, you need to know what you're doing. You need to know what you're doing, because if you know where to go with the football, you can get rid of it and throw it and you won't get hit.
My first toy was an adjustable wrench I called 'my wrencher.'
I'm happy for my kids getting postseason opportunities, for both of them playing in the Super Bowl back to back. I never would have envisioned anything like that.
I didn't want to be one of these pushy daddies.
As a family, we didn't get into the celebrity thing. That's not what we wanted for the boys. We wanted them to play everything they could, be involved in as many school events as they could.
I hate football.
Obviously, you have to have some physical ability to play quarterback in the NFL.
When Peyton played, he was a grinder. I mean he was up early and late.
God that's a great game. I wish I'd played my whole career in flag football.
I wasn't supposed to run as much as I did in the NFL. But it turned out that all that scrambling I had done in college became necessary in the NFL. It wasn't by design. It was because I was running for my life!
The game of football is always changing.
We just take pride that our sons have worked hard and they handle their position as a quarterback.
Kids are doing more in their offseason. That's what the college quarterbacks, the pro quarterbacks do. That's how you get better.
People are just so passionate about football in the South. Great rivalries through the years. Unbelievable rivalries. It's healthy.
My wife, Olivia, always thought I was one day going to go into coaching. But after playing until I was 37, I didn't want to subject my family to that nomad life. I think I definitely could have done it.
Coaches help every facet of a person's life.
I've always said, in the era that I played, all those years with the Saints, you don't come out with a big ego.
