I was lucky enough when it came to sports and work ethic to be taught some basics that continue to be important.
None of the body was designed to play football. Excuse me, you know, football, we’re just not designed for.
I have no idea what my batting average was in high school, but I know it wasn’t below .450, and that’s pretty good hitting where I come from.
Something’s been guiding me around throughout my life.
My philosophy in life, where I was trying to get, could have been a little bit different.
I think there’s always going to be a problem dealing with firearms, with knives. It’s the animal we are that cause the problems.
I don’t think that I’ve ever been a backup.
I deal with football from a realistic, logical point of view.
I’ve tested life and I’ve learned what works for me.
I can’t compare family to athletics.
I am a football fan, yeah.
I was a very naive young man, and I may still be ignorant about a lot of things.
I like music and I like ladies. I like to see them dance.
It feels bad to feel like you’re not wanted.
I’d rather go to Vietnam than get married.
How you recover from what life’s throwing at you is what matters.
I was a workhorse; there was never a practice that I didn’t enjoy.
I took my time to find the perfect girl.
I should have been thinking more about my family, how I raised my children, how I maintained life’s work, so to speak.
I think I could have become an outstanding professional baseball player, but I don’t think I could have reached the heights that I have in football – being one of the very top players in the game, being a world champion.
I love football. I really love football, As far as I’m concerned, it’s the second best thing in the world.
