I never was very big on praying for victory. For God to give a big win to the Denver Broncos, wouldn't He have to take it away from somebody else, say, the Green Bay Packers?

There are all kinds of smiles. On the football field I mostly used the one where the hawk spots the dove.

You're sacking them, you're bagging them. And that's what you're doing with a quarterback.

You'll find your life greatly simplified if you only worry about stuff you can fix.

When it comes to your life's work, you can't take yourself too seriously. Even Jesus had an occasional joke with the boys, take walking on water, for instance - but there's a time and place for fun. Jesus never faltered when it came time to tip over the money stalls or to take his hard walk up the mountain.

The only thing Native Americans ever did better than the rest of us is spirituality. Of course, that's everything, isn't it?

I did come up with the term "sack" to describe the devastation I was bringing on the poor, cringing quarterbacks in the NFL. "Sack the quarterback." That was nice. I thought it was lots better than saying, "Jones tackles the QB behind the line for another loss of yardage ..." It had a ring to it, and it caught on with the sports writers. But I tell you, doing it was a lot more fun than talking about it.
