I was the type of guy that used to get up in the morning and go out and just out run everybody on the field without stretching or warming up or anything.

I also tell them that your education can take you way farther than a football, baseball, track, or basketball will - that's just the bottom line.

Back before I injured my hip, I thought going to the gym was for wimps.

Baseball and football are very different games. In a way, both of them are easy. Football is easy if you're crazy as hell. Baseball is easy if you've got patience. They'd both be easier for me if I were a little more crazy - and a little more patient.

Football is easy if you're crazy as hell.

But now, I get up every morning and go to the gym because I don't like waking up stiff or in pain and wondering if my hip is going to hurt me.

When I was a kid, everybody in the neighborhood picked me to be the one in jail or be in the cemetery by the time I was 20.
