If you aren't going all the way, why go at all?

After my first knee operation, in January of '65 before I went to the Jets, Dr. James Nicholas told me everything went well and that I could probably play four years in the NFL. The surgery was trailblazing to a certain extent.

I believe in letting a guy live the way he wants to if he doesn't hurt anyone.

I am a football fan, yeah.

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

There are some things you only learn through experience.

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