John Matuszak's quotes

• I think about the game plan, and then I go through all the little things that are almost impossible to do. If you go through those things in your mind, you can do them.
• The only way to play football is with reckless abandon, or they'll knock your beard off. And with acting, you have to pull all the stops to make it work.
• I can retire from football with a smile on my face.
• The tension in pro ball comes from the realization that any game could be your last, that an injury could end your career. And in TV, you never know if or when your series will be canceled.
• I never even was in any of my high school plays. I mean, look at me. What role could they give me - the tooth fairy?
• I like making movies and would like to make it my career when I'm finished playing football.
• I don't like stepping on other people's toes, but with my size 15 shoes, people step on mine sometimes.
• I can't cruise no more. You cruise, you lose.
• I think I should be objective, call 'em as I see 'em. Stay the Tooz.
• George Allen was afraid of my image. He wasn't afraid of me.
• It's a nice release when you make a perfect tackle, a good hit.
• It was tough to quit football. But after I was injured, I didn't want people paying money to see only half a John Matuszak.
• Sure, I've done enough partying for 10 guys.
• Always, I seemed to just miss out. Why, I wasn't even the most valuable senior athlete in my high school in Oak Creek, Wisconsin.
• I don't want to collect any paychecks as a cheerleader on the sideline.
• Al Davis was the first to know about my decision to retire, and Mom was second.
• I've grown up a lot, and I have such great memories of playing football.
• I sure can't do television. The screen is only 24 inches. How are they ever gonna get someone like me in that little box?
• It's very tough to run my side of the line. Eight out of 10 plays, they don't get anything.
• The main thing is to be a force, so guys will say, 'Tooz is kicking butts.'
• Defensive lineman in the 3-4 isn't a glory position. He is supposed to tie up as many linemen as possible in order to free the linebackers.
• Women get possessive and cranky if they try to cruise with the Tooz.
