Derek Laxdal
“I think the room has really responded. No disrespect to Andy, but this team is worrying about playing better and they're playing very well.”
John Tortorella
“No disrespect to the coaches, but nobody lives and dies with a team like the manager. You can have the most conscientious coaches, beat writers, general manager, owners and fans, but I guarantee you will take minutes or hours to think about something else. A manager can't let it go.”
Tony La Russa

Roger Holmes
“I think we've been probably disrespected more than any team in the league this year. I think we've been given up on by a lot of media people, a lot of fans, our own fans, other people around the league, and I think if there's one team that feels like they're disrespected it's us.”
Tom Brady
“A team thinks they're going to come into our stadium and disrespect our emblem? Because that's what it is. Well, I don't think we have to take that. And we didn't.”
Jim Mora
“No disrespect at all, ... but we expected to win this game. I've been on teams and gone in places where I'm not sure everyone felt that way. We're more confident than we've ever been.”
