SUPER BOWL XXVII : The Spotlight : QUOTABLE

Cowboy offensive guard Nate Newton: “If I could explode, I would, but I don’t have my insurance paid up.”

Add Newton: “We are like Muhammad Ali. We duck and dive and all of a sudden, we punch your lights out.”

Bill receiver James Lofton, on the emotions of the Super Bowl: “I don’t think the depth of the joyness has gotten to the Cowboys and I don’t think the depth of the disappointment has gotten to us yet.”

Cowboy center Mark Stepnoski, on the Bills’ nine turnovers: “We never thought they’d leave the ball on the ground nine times. If you take that into consideration, it’s amazing the margin of victory wasn’t larger.”

Bill linebacker Darryl Talley: “We’re going to get a lot of flack from you guys (the media) anyway. . . . We’re a good enough football team to get here three consecutive times and not win it once. It’s a crying shame.”
