In all the years that I've been in football - I went directly from coaching to broadcasting - I never really had a lot of experience watching it.
Some yards is better than none yards?
Playing in this nice weather really makes me remember all the times I got stung by a bee.
I think comparisons are odious.
They'll score if they can just get into the endzone.
Here's a guy who when he runs, he moves faster.
He would have scored a touchdown if he hadn't been tackled right there.
When you have great players, playing great, well that's great football!
Nothing jazzes me up like football. I've acquired more passion of the years, not less. Not to love it wouldn't make sense.
Boom, boom, foom, poom! He just ran right at 'em!
I get a certain feeling when I go to Lambeau field in Green Bay. Soldier field in Chicago is special to me. Those are the places that I really like. The stadiums.
The best feeling is watching a real football game, because the games they show in the movies aren't real.
If the quarterback throws the ball in the endzone and the wide receiver catches it, it's a touchdown.
If you think about it, I've never held a job in my life. I went from being an NFL player to a coach to a broadcaster. I haven't worked a day in my life.
