Joe Flacco Is Good Enough, Smart Enough, and Doggone It, People Like Him

↵↵“You don’t play this game to be average. I play this game to be the best. It doesn’t matter what other people say. I think I’m pretty damn good...

↵“I want the ball in my hands. I want to be in control...I want to be in position to lose football games. I want it to be on me. If we lose football games, I want you to be able to look directly at me and say, ‘Why did we lose this game and I should have a pretty good answer for you.’ And I want you to be able to look at me and say why did we win this game? In order to do that, you have to have trust in me, and I think we’re there.”

↵↵Joe Flacco loves that he get cold when it’s 71 degrees out. He loves that it takes himself an hour and a half to order a sandwich. He loves that he get a little crinkle above his nose when he’s looking at himself like he’s nuts. He loves that after he spends the day with himself, he can still smell his perfume on his clothes. And he love that he is the last person he wants to talk to before he goes to sleep at night.
