“There's something lonely about Tony. He takes a lot of responsibility on his shoulders. ... I think it's made him a great manager, but it also leads to loneliness.”
Buzz Bissinger
“I think these younger guys see Tony, what he accomplished, and know as a freshman he took his lumps, too. If they continue to follow his lead, we're going to be where we want to be.”
Scott Shaw
“I don't know if mentoring means he takes him to Tony Roma's or what,”
Mike Holmgren
“I think Tony did a great job doing what he had to do, putting out a lot of fires and cleaning up a huge mess. He deserves a lot of credit. I know at the end of the day people are going to look towards him, and it has no reflection on what he?s done here. Not many people could do (what he did). He should be rewarded for it in some way.”
Vince Williams
“I am going to take part blame for that. I think Tony should take part of it as well. ... I think it could have been avoided by both of us. It was an unfortunate incident that hurt us both a lot.”
Jeff Gordon
“I don't think there are many who wouldn't know Tony, or wouldn't have something good to say about him.”
Michael Donahoe
“I'll take part of the blame. I think Tony should take part of it as well.”
