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.

I was focused on athletics, outdoors, sports.

You learn how to be a gracious winner and an outstanding loser.

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

To win, you have to lose, and then get pissed off.

I don't like to date so much as I just like to kind of, you know, run into somethin', man.

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.
