Pete Rozelle used television to get the game to the American public by creating the Super Bowl and making it the biggest sporting event in the world.

When I started at the Globe 40 years ago, there were seven newspapers in Boston and now there are only two. There were only three or four television stations in Boston and now there are a dozen.

I don't think the players play with the same desire they once did.

The one good thing about television is the money; you can make a lot more money than in newspapers.

I was fortunate to be part of a very successful show on CBS in 1986. I switched to NBC for eight years and through these experiences have gotten terrific insight into television; it's a fascinating medium.

The wonderful thing about television is the immediate impact of pictures of current events.

I think money in general hurts all sports.
