You can take the best team and the worst team and line them up and you would find very little physical difference. You would find an emotional difference. The wining team has a dedication. It will have a core group of veteran players who set the standards. They will not accept defeat.

You are the land. The land is you.

We need to know where we are going and how we plan to get there. Our dreams and aspirations must be translated into real and tangible goals with priorities and time frames.

Most exciting for me was to make the Pro Bowl in 14 of 15 years.

After a few games I knew I was going to be able to compete. The idea of being a star never crossed my mind.

I had a hockey puck and stick-the only ones in town. I definitely would have played hockey ahead of football, had it been available.
