Now we're getting a whole generation of kids who have never had a football team in L.A., so they don't miss it and don't ask for it. It becomes self-perpetuating. They don't know what they're missing.

But the equipment to protect the players hasn't developed along with that, so now you have more players out with worse injuries, for longer periods of time.

A player cannot be part of the training camp experience as a rookie unless he is signed to a contract.

So George Burns and my grandpa took me to my first baseball game.

I have to say that it was a very strange experience when, later in life, I represented Byron Scott and was negotiating with West - whose picture I used to have over my bed! That took some getting used to.

Then the Angels came in 1961, and I fell in love with them.

Then I went to UCLA - so of course I became a huge Bruin basketball fan... and later came to football.
