What strikes me most about Best Buddies International is the simplicity and magnitude of the mission. Friendship is a simple idea.

My job is to evaluate the field, pick the guy that I think is most open and make a good throw.

The only thing I really like doing during the week is getting ready to play the game.

I'm much more comfortable and confident running out on the field in front of 70,000 people instead of standing in front of a camera trying to say some lines.

I don't think there's a lot of carry-over from year to year. I don't think anybody cares what you did the year before.

If you don't play to win don't play at all.

I've had just about everything punched. I've had things grabbed that just shouldn't be grapped.
