I want to be the best. That's just the human way.

I'm not retiring. I am graduating. Today is my graduation day. Retirement means that you'll just go ahead and live on your laurels and surf all day in Oceanside. It ain't going to happen.

I'm afraid of being average. I have a real fear of being just another linebacker.

The best meal at my restaurant is the whole right side of the menu.

I'm not afraid to fail. I'm afraid to be mediocre.

I remember when I was 6 years old and my brother used to go seek out guys that were 13 to come over and play football against me while he was the 'permanent quarterback.' I didn't know exactly what the age difference was, but I was already playing against older guys.

I get paid to practice. I play the game for free.
