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.

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.

There are two things panic patients hate to do. They hate to take medication - and they hate to go to doctors. They hate to come to grips.

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 talk to student-athletes. I try to get them to remember that they're not just athletes, but student-athletes. You need to get an education, keep your hands clean and try to represent the university.

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?'.

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