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.

I was captain and should have set the example. I would lift a minimum of weights. Mine was natural physical strength. I always thought quickness and agility were much more important.

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.

I've caught fish as big as I am. I've caught marlin close to 300 pounds.

I just wanted to be an athlete.

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.

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