Always be prepared to start.

I started a business with two guys I played with, Ronnie Lott and Harris Barton: Champion Ventures, it's a fund of funds. We have $400 million or so under management.

I have a fear of failure.

Yeah, it's nice to look up to people, but the more you try to be somebody else, the less you are of yourself.

My back only bugs me when I sleep wrong. I feel my knee more than anything, the left one. It's arthritic.

I mean the game is just, everybody talks about baseball but I really think football probably has a little bit more American feeling than anything.

Yeah, I think it motivates you as people start to count you out. It doesn't make you play any harder, because every time you go out on the field you give 110 percent, but it does give you more of an edge mentally, knowing that you were in the same situation, because in sports you always find yourself behind.
