John McKay had so many good quotes

On opening days: "Opening games make me nervous. To tell the truth, I'd rather open with our second game."
On fan mail he received as a Tampa Bay coach: "It was about three-to-one that I was not an SOB. But there were a lot of ones."
On the weaknesses of linebacker Hugh Green: "He's not twins."
On the significance of experience: "If you have everyone back from a team that lost 10 games, experience isn't too important."

and the very best one...

- On the execution of the Bucs offense: "I think it's a good idea."

We'd be pretty good if we didn't suck so bad.
