Zitate und Sprüche von Herschel Walker

Coming from a small town it was tough to dream big. When I grew up in a small town in Georgia, my biggest dream was one day to be able to go to Atlanta.

Believing that no one is better than the other. You know I grew up in the South. My senior year there was a very big racial tension.

Because my parents, growing up, they worked hard. Everyone in my family woke up early in the morning. I used to see my mother and my father go off to work, and come back and, no matter what, they had time for the kids.

If you train hard, you'll not only be hard, you'll be hard to beat.

All these older kids here, and I'm the only one from a town that's so small, if everyone breathed at the same time, you'd run out of oxygen. Man, there is nothing there.

You really cannot set a standard, because Georgia is my home state, my home team. No other team can match what Georgia can offer. Schools cannot really match that, so that is an edge for Georgia.

The ridiculousness of thinking that some sort of global Illuminati wrote down their plot for killing of 95 % of humanity on a giant granit post-it note and left their secret plan somewhere no conservative would ever find it: rural Georgia.

In Texas, it's football. In Georgia, football. There's an appreciation from the average person about football more than anywhere else. And we have that for basketball in New York. And we'll always have that in New York.

I ask all Americans with a conscience to shun anything and everything to do with the murderous state of Georgia.

Georgia girls - the kind of girl you can take home to meet your mom, but can outdrink your dad.

For one, the 'countryness' is pretty much in my blood. I'm from Georgia, down south. That voice just lives in me.

When you get hit in football, you got two options: You can stay down or you can get the F up. I know this group as fighters. I know this group will get up.

We showed up when it mattered the most. It was a complete team effort. We found a way. We're winning games and we have yet to play our best ball.

I'm excited to be an Eagle and join this great organization. I'm looking forward to doing anything and everything I can do to help win games. I want to win it all.

If everybody could do it, everybody would do it.

I'm not going to make this about me. This is a special city. They deserve everything that's going on. We've got to win one more!

Super Bowl V was the Colts against the Cowboys and Jim O'Brien kicked a 32 yard field goal to beat the Cowboys. I was traumatized by it. Everyone at school knew I was the only Cowboy fan in the area. I didn't want to go to school and I begged and pleaded with my parents. Those are indelible memories when you are a kid.

I mean, they got a good defense, but we got a really good offense.

I can't write my life story without Emmitt Smith and Troy Aikman. They can't write their life stories without me. We're tied together forever.

I always wanted to be the very best receiver the Cowboys ever had. That was my goal coming in as a rookie and my goal throughout my career: being the best they ever had, going up in the Ring of Honor.

I'm the top receiver in the game. There's no question about it.

This is why you never go to New Jersey!

The results of a new study are out this week saying that New Jersey is one of the most livable states in the country. The study has a margin of error of 100 percent.

Just when you thought things couldn't get any worse, we gotta go to Jersey.

I feel like if you're in Jersey, you have to be a Jersey Devils fan. Anybody born within the confines of the border of the state of New Jersey, I feel, should be a Jersey Devils fan.

The state of New Jersey is really two places - terrible cities and wonderful suburbs. I live in the suburbs, the final battleground of the American dream, where people get married and have kids and try to scratch out a happy life for themselves. It's very romantic in that way, but a bit naive. I like to play with that in my work.

For me, at this point, all that really matters is winning. The reason I put myself through this every year is for the chance to win a Super Bowl. And to finish holding up that Lombardi trophy.

2017, my time in Washington ran out, which was a little scary. But looking back now, five years later, coming to Minnesota was a major blessing.

Skol Vikings, let's win this game,
Skol Vikings, honor your name,
Go get that first down,
Then get a touchdown.
Rock 'em, Sock 'em
Fight! Fight! Fight! Fight!
Go Vikings, run up the score,
You'll hear us yell for more...
V-I-K-I-N-G-S
Skol Vikings, let's go!

Robin: "I'm drinking 'til I forget the 1999 NFC Championship?"
Marshall: "The Vikings were two minutes away from going to the Super Bowl, when our kicker, who hadn't missed all year, shanked a field goal, and we lost in overtime. Damn!"

It's intimidating to come out and hear the Skol chant.

If you miss the playoffs in four out of the last five seasons, you're not going in the right direction.

You can't spell "elite" without E-L-I.

The G-MEN play best with their backs against the wall.

In Reese We Trust.

There's a lot of people who know how to do my job, but I can do a lot of things better and I will do things better, just like our coaches can do things better, and I believe they will do things better. Our players can do things better, and I believe they will do things better.

Scott Hanson: "If it comes down to it, Brock. It's late in the fourth quarter, are you prepared to disappoint Taylor Swift?"
Brock Purdy: "Yes."

We're not done, dawg, I want three!

It's been a long year to get to this point and we got it done today. We can't wait to get to Vegas!

I feel like as a receiver, you have to expect the unexpected. No matter where the ball is, it's your job to catch it. The quarterback has done all the hard parts. He got the ball out of his hands. He made checks. He did everything else. Now it's you. Just understanding that everything is not going to go as planned and the ball is not going to be where it needs to be all the time. Prepare myself for the worst, and when the best happens, it feels great.

Congrats to the Kansas City Chiefs, MVP Patrick Mahomes, Coach Reid, Travis Kelce, Chris Jones, Mecole Hardman, and the rest of the champs for another Lombardi Trophy. Grace under pressure.

I like football. I find its an exciting strategic game. Its a great way to avoid conversation with your family at Thanksgiving.

We don't have to say we're great. Our 5 rings say it for us.

It's definitely a blessing, but you don't think about it a ton, because once you win the AFC Championship game - now you're in the Super Bowl and you're focused on that game.
