There is no question that [Dan] Quayle is an uneducated idiot. But someone, somewhere cleverly realized that the best diversion from Bush is to put on a clown show.

It was astounding. I've never seen anything like it in my 20 years of coaching. There was no question it gave us a lift. It raised the confidence level of our play, and you could see it was a huge deflating moment for Anoka. It had to have been very demoralizing.

Bush is very clever. When the debate should have been about the deterioration of our cities and the lack of action by government, he sent in his idiot to make an outrageous statement about Murphy Brown.

I think Americans will begin to see a rejuvenated Dan Quayle with great campaign skills, ... George Bush has done a good job of building interest, but now he has the tough job of rising to those expectations.

The secret of living is giving.

There's no question that he's the best there is when he's healthy. He was an integral part of our defensive success before the injury, and we expect him to be part of the future as well. He has worked very hard to come back, so we're not worried about him at all.
