Joe FlaccoThe 'elite' label came from winning games without gaudy stats — people wear the sweatshirt both sincerely and as a joke, and either way it's fun
I was winning a bunch of games in Baltimore, but my stats were never gonna fly off the stat sheet. We were winning games because we had a formula with how we won games. So that word always came up around me because it was like, he's winning a lot of football games and playing good football, but it's not like he's throwing for 350 and four touchdowns every week. So it was like, can we call him [elite]? The funny thing is now people could — I have buddies wearing the sweatshirt because they're like, damn right he's elite. And I have detractors that are using it as a meme. It kind of goes both ways. But who cares? That's part of it. That's what makes it kind of fun.

PFT CommenterBill Belichick and the Atlanta Falcons are on a collision course
I am again tracking Arthur Blank's private jet. It's landing in Boston, Massachusetts right now. Belichick Falcons collision course. I think it's happening.
PFT CommenterI am happy Mike McCarthy is staying in Dallas because he falters against good teams
As a Commanders fan, I, I said that it makes me very happy that Mike's coming back... I know that Mike McCarthy is a very good regular season coach, but when you play against really good teams in the Playoffs, you're gonna have to win three games... all I'm saying is much like you with Aaron Rodgers when the Cowboys lose, that's my Super Bowl.
Big CatPatrick Mahomes will not be the one to save Mike McCarthy's legacy in Dallas
People are also pointing out, like, look at Andy Reid before they started winning Super Bowls in Kansas City where it's like 12 and four, 10 and six, 11 and five. Everyone said he was a choke artist. The only issue with that is Patrick Mahomes showed up. I don't think Patrick Mahomes is showing up in Dallas.

View profileJoe FlaccoI want to play in the NFL until I'm 45
I wanna play as long as I possibly can... at 45 [my kids] would be in high school. I, I'd love to say I'd still be playing at that point. But, you know, the situation might have to be exactly right.
Joe FlaccoWearing all-black uniforms at night in Baltimore provides an extra confidence boost
There was something about it, man, when you showed up, when you had the black jersey in your locker and it was a big game. You're like, it gave you that little extra like, nudge of confidence... we're definitely winning.
Joe FlaccoI'm going to play football as long as possible to avoid having to do sports media
Honestly, man, that's the last thing I want to do is be doing interviews to get myself behind a camera. So I'm gonna try to do this as long as possible and, and diminish those possibilities as much as I can.
