We flipped through our Super Bowl history books to find the best quotes. (NFL Images)

What makes a great Super Bowl quote? Having the guts to speak your mind; or, on the flip side, not knowing when to stick a sock in it. Here are some choice examples of both.

• “Men, I want you just thinking of one word all season. One word and one word only: Super Bowl.” – former Oilers coach Bill Peterson.

• “I don’t like this place. It’s for people with arthritis. They come here to play golf and to die.” – Steelers DT Ernie Holmes, before Super Bowl X in Miami.

• “Terry Bradshaw couldn't spell cat if you spotted him the C and the A.” – Cowboys LB Hollywood Henderson, before Super Bowl XIII.

• “We’re going to win on Sunday. I guarantee it.” – Jets QB Joe Namath, before Super Bowl III.

• “How long have you been a black quarterback?” – Asked of Redskins QB Doug Williams before Super Bowl XLII.
