Nobody cared about swimming. You could draw a crowd for basketball.

Sigma Chi was a learning experience for me in personal growth, in finding out more about myself, in shaping my life more effectively, and in directing my energies more efficiently. All of those things were heavily influenced by my Sigma Chi experience. There is no question that that has had a tremendous impact on my career, profesionally and on my life.

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

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.

Our coach was absolutely out of his head. He must have read Bear Bryant's book. We had 78 players out. The first day 35 quit. Twenty quit the second day. We ended with 17 players. It was depressing.

The winning team has a dedication. It will have a core of veteran players who set the standards. They will not accept defeat.

The basketball coach cut me within two days, so I was back in the pool. I was the first one in the wall after the first 25 yards, but the last one out because I didn't have a flip turn.
