Vision gets the dreams started.

I've learned that football sometimes was an outlet. It was a way for me to release anger, release frustration.

Every time fans turned on the television or watched the Dallas Cowboys, I wanted to give them the performance of a lifetime.

There's always a chance. Somebody has got to want me, and if they don't want me, then what? I want to play. I want to do what I want to do.

Vision gets the dreams started. Dreaming employs your God-given imagination to reinforce the vision. Both are part of something I believe is absolutely necessary to building the life of a champion, a winner, a person of high character who is consistently at the top of whatever game he or she is in.

As a former football player who has carried a football more than 4,000 times, trust me, I did not go into ballroom dancing with my body being 100 percent, with no aches or pains or ailments coming with me. When you're dancing, you're doing stuff that your body's not used to, and so you start to aggravate those old injuries.

I have been a Cowboys fan since I was a little bitty boy. And my dream has finally become a reality, of not only just playing a professional, becoming a professional athlete, but playing for the team that I always wanted to play for.
