“This is the thing people have to understand about NFL locker rooms: It...” — Ryan Clark Quote

This is the thing people have to understand about NFL locker rooms: It's a lot of ornery veterans.

A lot of times we try to make this thing way too complicated. It's truly a simple game. When you get turnovers and you don't allow people to get turnovers against you, you can win football games.

Big Ben was able to progress and come along slowly because he was surrounded with a Hall of Fame coach and players. I think Joe Burrow will need the exact same thing.

We can't stop Calvin Johnson with one man. Sometimes, you can't stop him with three.

Everybody gets their opportunities in different ways.

When I'm getting ready for a fight - when I'm in that locker room or I'm making that walk and I finally get to the Octagon - it's all spiritual.

There is always a dream, for me, in the locker room before matches as well during the day. If you have a strong mind, a strong tendency to keep you strong, I think your dream is coming.

There are a lot of guys in those SmackDown and Raw locker rooms that, given the opportunity, I'd love to have matches with, tell stories with, and do stuff with.

I don't ever want to come in the locker room and have players in there pouting.

Kids threw rocks at me, told me I was ugly and left death threats in my locker.
