Quotes: “It's not the things you say to people and it's not the way you look at me.
It's the way you present yourself for all your worst critics to see." New Found
Glory. “This is the most prestigious award in all of sports. People can say the NFL
MVP is a big deal but I can't name last year's MVP. I can name the last six Heis-
man Trophy winners and it's awesom e that my brother's going to be that guy."
Jordan Palmer. “Where you used to take me to play in the sand and say to me,
'Son, one day you'll be a man and men can do terrible things. Yes, they can!"'
Something corporate.
