Quarterback is not a position that you come in having not played it your whole life.

In football, it's the ultimate team sport. You have to have good people around you as a quarterback for things to happen.

I'm about a 160, 170 bowler so I feel like I'm pretty good - I'm average, but I don't stink, you know?

To me, being in your prime means playing your best and feeling your best, too.

I'm proud of the fact that besides being known as a successful former football player, I've also worked hard to establish myself as a successful businessman, network broadcaster, sports & entertainment executive and philanthropist.

It was about being wanted, it was about winning, and it was about my passion for the game. I just loved it. I absolutely loved to compete and to step out onto that football field with my teammates.

Even though my mother had told me growing up that, 'If you win, nobody cares what color you are,' that wasn't necessarily true in the N.F.L.
