Reaching 50, I've started to conjure up thoughts of my own mortality.

Being thrown into the fire and getting the thing turned around in a hurry made it more difficult. Things have been done the hard way. I think you learn better when things are done the hard way.

The Arena League is the best thing that could have happened to me because I get to run the whole process. I'm seeing not only the football side but the business side

I'm getting the basics with the AFL, but the NFL is a different animal

There's always an asterisk behind somebody's name who hasn't won the Super Bowl. There shouldn't be, but that's kind of the way history works.

It's really been a better situation for me being with the Crush than it would if I were with the Broncos because this has given me a lot more broad range

I can't compare quarterbacks as apples and oranges in my mind because everybody's in a different system.
