I had two things I could do: I could run over you, and I could put a good stiff arm on you. That was about it.

I'd go on record and say yes, I think it's time.

I have a wife and two boys. One is 18 and the other is 14. The 18-year old is getting ready for college next year and he made a decision to run track. He runs a lot like Michael Johnson.

First of all, I'm so glad that the city of Houston has a football team again. They have such great fans. I'm really happy for the people of Houston because they deserve a football team.

I played football with my whole body - My hands, my head, my face. I did it all.

Sometimes I pay for it, With the way I walk now, the things I did to my body wasn't supposed to be done. At 48 years old, it is saying, 'Hey, Earl, remember what you did to me?'.

Everything in life has a price on it - there ain't a damn thing free in America, and football has got a price on it.
