Michael Strahan Time Quotations

My brothers used to call me Bob. They'd laugh at me, and I didn't get it. I'm 13 years old at the time, and then one day my brother's friend says, 'You know what Bob stands for? 'Booty on back.' You're fat.' Like my butt was so big I could reach for my wallet over my shoulder. And I broke down.

Thing is, I don't really like free time. People are always warning me that I'm going to burn out. But the truth is, the only thing that tires me out is hearing people tell me that.

By the time I left college, I had won every award you could win - I was Mr. Man! Then I got drafted by the Giants, and you step in that locker room, and you feel inferior in every way. You just have to stick around long enough to give yourself the opportunity to build your confidence.

I have the biggest sweet tooth! You name it, I will eat it. My all-time favorite is my mother's butter cake. Every time I go home, my mom will already have the cake made because I love it so much. This makes my siblings mad because they think she favors me. I don't care because she probably does!

I grill all the time - burgers, ribs, chicken, steak, and fish.

I don't do anything I don't want to do. There are so many opportunities that come my way, but if there's something out there that I don't want to do, I truly don't do it, because I have to maximize my time. If there's truly an opportunity to be quiet and be by myself, I do it.

I feel fresh, ... And I appreciate playing. Every time I step on the field, every play, I look at it as it could be my last. The realization of that definitely has me feeling that I'd better take advantage of every snap that I can.

He's confident. He can see it right now every time he takes a snap and drops back.

I think he's definitely been under more pressure before. He's smart enough to realize in the long run it's still just a game anyway. It's a playoff game and maybe the tempo picks up a little bit more, and of course everything is at stake, but at the same time it's still football.

You can get up here and have a good time and you don't have to worry about saying the right thing all the time.

Tom Coughlin is great with the players and he is what you see with the media. He's a good guy and he's a fun guy, but at the same time he's a serious guy when it comes to winning and it comes to football.

This time of year, you really have to be able to stop the run. So it's going to be key for us to get back to where we were.

'The Notebook' gets me every time. It's a great love story. Boy from the wrong side of the tracks. They get on each other's nerves, but they can't live without each other. It almost makes me shed a tear.

Hopefully, by the time the game's over, there'll be 10 people in the stands. We have to treat this like it's our last game. No one wants to depend on winning in Oakland.

As a unit, from where we were in the past, holding your breath every time they kicked to us or we kicked to them, to now we have a unit that can swing momentum, it's phenomenal.
