Secrets of the Super Bowl Quarterbacks
SUPER BOWL XV
My mom was blind, and my father had already passed away. My mom was at home, and I'd call her each evening from New Orleans. She had never seen a football game, but she'd listened to many of them over the radio and TV over the years following my career in college and in the NFL. So I called her up every evening, and all those things she'd heard of the game and what I'd explained to her, you'd think she'd a have little quote-unquote piece of advice, or whatever you want to call it. She said, "Make sure they block for you." And then next night we'd be talking again, and she would say, "Don't let them sack you." … The last one, she said, "Tell those receivers to catch the ball for you."-- As told to Elizabeth Merrill of ESPN.com
