I did some good things as a rookie.

Everything in life has a price on it - there ain't a damn thing free in America, and football has got a price on it.

I try to get them to remember that they're not just athletes, but student-athletes.

I learned from different guys I played with, too. The key was probably three people: The good Lord, the offensive linemen I played with and great fullbacks that could block very well.

The writer is both a sadist and a masochist. We create people we love, and then we torture them. The more we love them, and the more cleverly we torture them along the lines of their greatest vulnerability and fear, the better the story.

I tried writing fiction as a little kid, but had a teacher humiliate me, so didn't write again until I was a senior in college.

To make films, you have to have boundless energy; you have to work and play with others really, really well, and I'm really a more contemplative kind of person. I like to sit at home and think, a lot.

Talk radio has almost ruined the sports fan.

I criticize a lot of players and coaches. But I back it up with facts. A lot of times guys get mad at me because someone told them what I said. I say, 'You're wrong: Go check the tape

I haven't thought about it. I'm not capable of deep thinking.

Of course it looks bad when you're not executing. When things go bad, it's not going to look good.

I'm not a guy that believes you've got to have a lot of experience to have success in the playoffs.
