I love football. I really love football, As far as I'm concerned, it's the second best thing in the world.

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.

There are some things you only learn through experience.

Of course, in pro ball, they never hit the quarterback in practice.

I wanna kiss you. I couldn't care less about the team struggling.

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

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