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

I don't want to sound like some grumpy old man telling you to get off my lawn.

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 . . . .

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

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.

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.
