The Super Bowl is in Tampa Bay, Florida this year and is an easy pick for our quote of the month as there’s only really Valentine’s Day that’s the other major event of substance in February (Sorry Black History Month, we’ll use the UK calendar date next time,we promise). There will be plenty of hype in the 2 weeks leading up to the Super Bowl as the media looks for any great audio clip or quote that they can find to try and build some sort of a suspense for the big game. There will also be plenty of great commercials during the game as well as plenty of food being eaten with the Super Bowl being the biggest day of any other where junk food is consumed. There are plenty of inspirational quotes from coaches on this day as well as from players from the winning teams after the game is over but there are also plenty of offbeat and humorous quotes as well. Duane Thomas was the running back for the Dallas Cowboys for 2 seasons and helped them win their first ever Championship.Due to his off-field antics, he was traded to the New England Patriots the very next season only to get into a fight with the coach and was shipped back to the Cowboys after the trade was voided. Acclaimed sports writer Hunter S. Thompson wrote that the year that Thomas returned to the cowboys, he refused to speak to his coaching staff and fellow players all season long. The coaching staff would call his number during plays and Thomas would go and do his job without communicating with anyone else. Well, it seems that Thomas wasn’t impressed either with the monstrosity that the Super Bowl has turned into. Many feel that the Super Bowl is nothing more than a large party without any importance on the actual game itself. Thomas was asked what he felt about the Super Bowl and here was his response….
