If I have any attribute that serves me well, it's I don't have a long-range plan in life. I have no idea. I just don't look ahead, I really don't. You know when people get out of college and they're talking about their five-year plan. Five-year plan? I got a plan to get to Friday.

I'm 52 years old, which means I'm of an age where my reading habits are more or less set. I read plenty of stuff on line but I rely on pretty traditional sources. I'm a newspaper reader, whether in hand or on my iPad.

Sports don't define us; it is not what we live for.

Nothing is a violent as football and I bet you like. Just say you don't like it, or can't identify, don't come up with excuses like "It's too violent" while you wear some team's NFL jersey.

God, I'm glad I grew up in a time when kids followed sports in the newspaper and on TV and knew every sport.

Players suffer coaching changes all the time; it's life in the NFL.

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