Quotes by Reggie Wayne

A good hit is when you black out for a second or two. Sometimes when I have a good hit on somebody, I kind of black out and when I come to, they're on the ground and I'm still standing. That's a pretty good hit.

It's something you can't prepare for. It's like in California when you get an earthquake, all you can do is try to take cover.

You don't want to lose any games, whether there's history at stake, the playoffs, period. We lost, and history is out the window.

That New England game in the playoffs, I blacked out. But I got up before he did, so I don't know if that really counts.

First Monday in March, 5:30 in the morning. We were in there four days a week, grinding.

We had the table set the way we wanted it. Top seed in the AFC, home field, three weeks rest. Everything was laid out in front of us.
