We spent our whole married life in the ultra-competitive world of professional football, Lauren and I had always tried to view it through God's eyes. As much fun as it was to be winning, we tried not to get caught up in it. We knew that our family life and our faith walk were more important.

Keeping ridiculous hours doesn't mean you'll be successful.

The game has changed since the '70s as more coaches have looked at ways to make it tougher on defenses. But I'm glad my career turned out the way it did - I would have never gotten a chance to learn the defensive side of the ball.

Integrity doesn't come in degrees: low, medium, or high. You either have integrity or you don't.

I just think winners win. And guys who won all the way through high school and college, the best player at every level, they have a way of making things happen and winning games.

I need to treat everybody fairly, but fair doesn't always mean equal.

I guess I'm flattered that people think I can help get things done.
