Until my senior year, baseball and basketball were my best sports; and even when I was a senior, I still wanted to play baseball professionally. But the family wanted me to go to college and I guess I agreed with them or else I would have accepted some of the offers I got.

I don't care what a man is as long as he treats me right. He can be a gambler, a hustler, someone everybody else thinks is obnoxious, I don't care so long as he's straight with me and our dealings are fair.

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

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

Times have changed. The athletes have changed.

Till I was 13, I thought my name was 'Shut Up.'

There are some things you only learn through experience.
