1. Nikola Tesla:

   My brain is only a receiver, in the Universe there is a core from which we obtain knowledge, strength and inspiration. I have not penetrated into the secrets of this core, but I know that it exists.

2. Walt Anderson:

   We confirmed with the referee and the crew that on that play — they got together and talked — they determined that they had a whistle, but that the whistle for them on the field was blown after the receiver caught the ball.

3. Rich Gannon:

   When you throw five interceptions and throw the ball 526 times, that’s amazing, you’re going to get the ball tipped, deflected. Balls are going to go through the hands of a receiver. Something bad going's to happen. Yet he’s thrown five picks. I think in the last three years, he’s thrown 11 picks. Think about that. You throw 38 touchdown passes and 11 picks in a season, you ’d think that’s pretty good. 11 picks in three years.

4. Josh Gordon:

   I dont think any of us had any doubts about ABs skill set, its good everybody sees it. He continues to be what we expect him to be, and thats a great wide receiver and good football player. For us thats a tremendous asset and takes a huge stress off the offensive linemen and the running backs. Theres no way you can pinpoint one facet of our offense to try to shut us down. Hes a huge help. Were glad to have him.

5. Joseph Batten:

   It is the responsibility of the sender to make sure the receiver understands the message.
