My daughter just graduated college and she's a dance major. She's done a couple of dance videos already and won Miss Massachusetts a couple of weeks ago. She's going out for Miss United States the second week of July, out in Las Vegas. She will probably wind up going to New York and trying the Broadway thing.

My first two years in the CFL, all I thought of was getting back to the NFL - it was like 'I'll put my time in up here and go back.' Then I went and signed a nice contract in Calgary and was like, 'Hey, I can make a living up here, this is great football, and I'm having a blast.

I was very close to playing at an Ivy League School. The Division I schools, when a coach would come visit all he would talk about was my size.

The trouble is that right now I want to put as much work into football as I can. It's very important for me to get off to a good start. By the same token, I feel a responsibility to handle the media and those sort of things.

All of those guys who told me that I was too short and how complicated the game was, it is not that complicated. It is the same game I have always played.

Always do your best because a pat on the back is real close to a kick in the pants.

But I'll tell you this: When I lose my athleticism, it's time to go.
