My dad took me to a high school basketball game and this very, very famous coach in Michigan, by the name of Lofton Greene - he was a guy that my dad was familiar with. He was from our hometown. And I watched the game and I said I didn't see this guy doing a lot of coaching. And my dad told me, well, it's just like a teacher - which he was - he said if you do a good job teaching during the week, when they take the test on Friday, that's not the time you have to do a lot of demonstrative things.

I have yet to hear God's audible voice, although I have often felt led by God in more subtle ways.

When I was young, I didn't like to read. I would have much rather been outside doing something than been inside reading about it.

Michael Vick is a work in progress. I think he really is wanting to do the right thing. I think the Philadelphia Eagles have been a great organization for him. He's had some ups and downs. He still has to learn to not put himself in, maybe bad situations, in terms of personal life and friends, and that kind of thing. But all in all, I think he's growing every day.

I had 10 to 12 close buddies who I played ball with all the way from elementary to high school. That is where I learned to compete.

If I can't get the captains to respond appropriately and show the leadership I expect, how is anyone else going to respond?
