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.

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

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.

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

Lombardi, Shula, Landry and Gibbs were innovators. Bill Walsh was a visionary . . . .

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.

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