I worked for the recreation and parks department for a year.

Knee replacement is serious stuff. And it actually could have made me worse

I did a few more plays, and then I went to L.A., because I knew I could get a coaching job there.

I figured my body always would be able to repair itself. I think all of us believe that - until you begin to age and get hit with deteriorating joints.

Even when I was young, playing college football, and I injured my knee, I bounced right back.

My fiancee and I recently eloped. We went on a fabulous honeymoon to Europe, and I was able to see and do everything I wanted without worrying about taking it easy.

I'm from Middlesboro, Ky., a little town on the Tennessee and Virginia border.
