Quotes
-
Jimmy McGinty : These are people I've been keeping my eye on over the years. They all played football somewhere, not all of them in the pros, but they all have something unique to bring to the game. We're going to try to get these people together and try to put together a winning team. If nothing else, they should be fun to watch.

Korean Store Owner : Hey! Clifford, Twinkie!
[Clifford dashes past. He easily catches up to the kid, jogging alongside while the kid's dashing at full sprint]
Clifford Franklin : What's up man?
Kid in Liquor Store : What's up?
Clifford Franklin : Got any Twinkies?
Pilachowski : But can he catch?

Pilachowski : Hey Jimmy, my tight end is... deaf.
Jimmy McGinty : Yeah, I know.
Pilachowski : Well Jimmy, how am I gonna coach a deaf man?
Jimmy McGinty : Oh, you don't need to. Brian Murphy would've gone in the first round 5 years ago if he hadn't been born deaf. Played his college ball right here in D.C., Gallaudet.
Pilachowski : But Jimmy, I need to communicate with him and how...?
Jimmy McGinty : Learn to sign, you know...
[does some sign language]
Pilachowski : Oh, horseshit!
Jimmy McGinty : Look at it this way; he'll never be called offsides on an audible.
