I had everything working my way, strong as a bull. And still I ignored the rules of the game of life.

In football, you can always maim a person if you wanted to.

You can't tell them anything, but hopefully they will learn from the example and won't have to go through it.

When you get old, everything is hurting. When I get up in the morning, it sounds like I'm making popcorn.

I don't live that life anymore, it's as simple as that.

There were probably about five games in my career where everything was moving in slow motion and you could be out there all day, totally in the zone, and you don't even know where you are on the field, everything is just totally blocked out.

And once you cross over into that world, no matter how strong you are, you have to pay the price.
