Johnny Unitas was my hero.

When you have confidence, you can have a lot of fun. And when you have fun, you can do amazing things.

I don't care what a man is as long as he treats me right. He can be a gambler, a hustler, someone everybody else thinks is obnoxious, I don't care so long as he's straight with me and our dealings are fair.

First, I prepare. Then I have faith.

I was a workhorse; there was never a practice that I didn't enjoy.

After I hurt the knee, football wasn't nearly as much fun. I was limited. But you make do with what you have. I adjusted some. I was lucky to play as long as I did, with the different kinds of injuries I got. I played with two severed hamstring muscles in my leg late in my career. I could barely run, other than to drop back to pass.

As a football coach, everything in your life comes after your football schedule. I just could not make that commitment.
