“"The hardest part for me was staying in the backfield, bidding my time, while my teammates rushed forward to pressure the ball. When I saw my fellow Pandas throw blocks at those huge lizards and getting blocked in return, hard, it made me want to join them and throw my weight behind them, but I knew it was always as possibitily that a skink would slip through our lines and then I would have to be in position to blitz him down. And I was and I did blitz him down and hurt the tiny fellow so bad only the apothecary could get him back up. Patience, my friends, patience, is the name of the game as a Safety. Surgery Scalpels win the fight, not butchers cleavers."
--- Bai Yun, Fighting Pandas Catcher

"Surgery Scalpels? No, sorry, didn't have anything to do with our victory. It was injury time, a virus, and illegal drugs that won us the game. Did I say illegal drugs? I meant legal drugs. Perfectly legal drugs! Perfectly perfectly legal drugs and Fu Chi won us the game. Oh wait, Fu Chi, that's me. I scored a Touchdown in only my second ever game. How long did it take my predecessor, Mei Xiang, to score his first touchdown? That's right, twelve games. And it wasn't even a winning one, was it? I'd say I'm well on my way to becoming the best number 10 the Pandas ever saw."
--- Fu Chi, Fighting Pandas Blitzer

"You have a question regarding something Bai Yun said? Why don't you ask him then? Oh, is that so? He's off to talk to the doc of the scrubber-squad to ask if he might be interested to work for the Pandas, since he seemed competent which would be a change form our current sorry excuse of an apothecary? Interesting. So what did he say you want to ask me about? Oh! Oooooooh. No! No, I believe his talk of surgical scalpels was a figure of speech. I don't believe Bai Yun meant to imply we carry hidden knifes onto the pitch. We're not Eshin Adepts!"
--- Zhang Xinyan, Fighting Pandas Blitzer

"That is true, we are no Adepts. In fact, we are not adapt at anything. Speaking of 'not adapt at anything'... Jing Jing, you had something to say?"
--- Tai Shan, Fighting Pandas Blitzer

"Thank you very much for the kind words, Tai Shan, I'll miss this kind of gentle ribbing when I retire at the end of the season. Yes, you heard me. I'm going to retire after our next game against Snooty Britches, or perhaps even earlier after the game against Fighting Vermin, depending on how things go. As for the reasons for my decision... It's no secret, I have, in the past, shown an inability to cope with the stress and pressure of being the teams quarterback and heart and center of the entire offense. I have gotten slightly better at dealing with it on the pitch, but the problem is, I carry the stress home with me to my family. I can't switch it off. I haven't been myself around my wife and children, but my wife deserves the husband she married and my kids deserve the father I want to be for them, and so I had to decide between the sport and my personal life and I chose personal happyness. I won't leave all at once, I'll still play a few games and I'll be there for when my team needs me in important moments, even though, god knows, I suck in important moments. Mostly, I will see to it that the team is going to have a good, rock-solid new Quarterback in Ding Ding who can step up when I leave the game for good."
--- Jing Jing, Fighting Pandas Thrower

"Maaaan, Jing Jing, man... that brings me down, Jing. That really brings me down. And it's been such a good day too, but to hear about you retiring, that's a downer. How can the Jing-Po connection, or disconnection as it was often the case, go on without you? Who's going to fumble the important passes together with me when you're gone? It won't be the same with Ding Ding, it just won't be the same. I have officially been named a Star Player today, you can't leave me now? Don't do this to me, man."
