Somebody once told me that whatever you're listening to at 30 years old is going to be what you listen to for life and that's largely true.

People here don't identify themselves by their sports team.

There are always late bloomers [in sport], no matter size, although big men are more often late bloomers.

The great thing about media now is that you have 360 degrees worth of opinions and can find whatever you want and tune out whatever you want.

Football can stand parity better than any of the other sports, I think. Baseball, basketball and hockey need a defining team, in essence to frame the season. Football? Not so much.

Professional football is the most violent thing your eyes have ever seen.

The coverage [of crimes] is different. It's less angry when white [athletes] are involved, less accusatory, less judgemental. I see that in the pieces that are written and reported. At times it bothers me to the point that I just stop reading...just stop.
