I was a very naive young man, and I may still be ignorant about a lot of things.

I should have been thinking more about my family, how I raised my children, how I maintained life's work, so to speak.

I think I could have become an outstanding professional baseball player, but I don't think I could have reached the heights that I have in football - being one of the very top players in the game, being a world champion.

None of the body was designed to play football. Excuse me, you know, football, we're just not designed for.

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

It feels good to show some courage.

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