“We get paid well, but this is what really motivates most of the players. Some guys might worry about the money more. But playing in the Super Bowl and winning a (championship) ring is what it's all about for most of us.”
Clint Kriewaldt
“Coach really paid attention to the players' bodies and listened to what guys had going on with them, and pulled off a lot when he needed to. But when we hit, he had us hit at full speed, and I kind of like that.”
Damione Lewis
“Worry is interest paid on trouble before it comes due.”
W. R. Inge
“These guys are good, there's no question about it. But hey, we get paid like they get paid. We've got a job to do like they've got a job to do. Who wants to do it better? That's the whole key.”
Mike Maser
“[The teenager, the highest paid player in the league, was suspended for] conduct detrimental to the team, ... It is an internal issue and we are dealing with it within the club.”
Doug Hicks
“I cannot hide behind the bench and wait for somebody else. I'm the highest-paid guy on the team. Who else is going to do it? That's my job. If I cannot do it, there's no reason to be here. I have to score goals for this team to win.”
Jaromir Jagr
“Usually if you have a shift on, they're paid to hit, not paid to bunt. That's a guy that can hit the ball out of the park with any pitch. With Giambi, if he takes a drag bunt, thank you for the single.”
