One of my first jobs was at the Boston Globe. I worked in the sports department six months a year. When I was ready to graduate, the sports editor gave me a job as a schoolboy sports writer.

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

I think money in general hurts all sports.

The ability of players to jump teams when their contracts are up has hurt fan loyalty.

I've been very fortunate to be involved in all the Super Bowls, to see some World Series, to cover heavyweight championship fights; I've been to the Olympics and seen every sporting event there is.

The future is electronic. It's radio, television and the Internet; it's not really newspapers anymore.

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