Back in the '60s to the '70s, the NFL was 'The Man League,' and the AFL was 'The Fluff League,' ... Go ahead, wear those white shoes and high white socks and throw it around. But we play football over here the way it's meant to be played, outside in the mud and cold with snot bubbles coming out of our noses. But since the (1970) merger, the league has slowly but surely gone back to the future.
More Quotes from Matt Millen:
I think every coach has to adapt to what they have, because they're what you get. You can't just go out to the player tree and pick all the great ones. That doesn't happen. You get a Barry Sanders every now and then. You get a Billy Sims every once in a while. And when you have it, you adapt to their strengths. Whoever comes in here and whoever has this job needs to adapt and will do that.Matt Millen
