Dick Schaap: Dick Schaap

Quotes 

• Dick Schaap - TV Sportscaster : Miami - a team of wild spirits known for their activities off-field as well as on. And we're lucky to have with us the man who personifies that team, the irrepressible, never dull, Billy Clyde Puckett. Billy Clyde, how are you?

  Billy Clyde Puckett : Fine, Dick, thank you. And I do acknowledge that, but that was the way I was at one time, but, you see, the Miami team, and myself being captain, we have changed considerably since we got into the Super Bowl. As a matter of fact, the boys are not out diddling around. They're very serious about this game and I myself am studying at night and reading.

  Dick Schaap - TV Sportscaster : That's enriching, but, what are you reading?

  Billy Clyde Puckett : Eh, "Walden." I'm reading "Walden" now.

  Dick Schaap - TV Sportscaster : Bill Walton?

  Billy Clyde Puckett : No. Thoreau's "Walden." You see, I march to a different drummer now that I'm in this game. I'm a changed ballplayer.

• Dreamer Tatum : Pyramid power is what's hip, man.

  Dick Schaap - TV Sportscaster : What's pyramid power?

  Dreamer Tatum : It's based on the design of the great pyramid of Cheops in the land of Egypt. Man, it's a energy source that you cannot believe.
