If you're a white kid growing up and you see a Black player and he's got the name of your college or your town across his chest, that means something.

I don't think you can explain why all these other sports and college basketball have a fair representation of African American coaches, but college football doesn't. You can dig and scramble and scratch, but at the end of the day I think it's just pure, old-fashioned racism.

I think one of the most immoral things is college football and basketball, where everybody is making money except the players.

Hockey is the only place where a guy can go nowadays and watch two white guys fight.

To see the glory in sport, where somebody comes from behind and does something, sinks a shot in the last second or throws a touchdown pass or hits a home run, there is a beauty in that, and at the end of the day, that's why we love sports more than anything else.

I grew up in Baltimore and that's why I root for the Orioles. I'm very suspicious of people who move and take on a new team. You should stick with the team of your youth all the way to your grave. That shows a sense of loyalty and devotion.

So much of life, so much of work, is luck.
