I spent the nights before the Jets' two biggest games last year - for the AFL championship and the Super Bowl - with girls. But I don't consider that bad or foolish of me... The night before a game, I prepare myself both mentally and physically for the next day. I think a ballplayer has to be relaxed to play well; and if that involves being with a girl that night, he should do it.

I have to convince myself I know what I'm doing.

It's not how you fall that counts.. It's how you get up

I have no idea what my batting average was in high school, but I know it wasn't below .450, and that's pretty good hitting where I come from.

I deal with football from a realistic, logical point of view.

Football is an honest game. It's true to life. It's a game about sharing. Football is a team game. So is life.

There's an old saying amongst players in football talking about your general manger and coaches, they speak with a forked tongue.
