Well family is obviously the most important. There was a time when I thought football was the most important.
In spite of reports about playing with various teams, I’m enjoying retirement with my family and have no plans to play football.
The town, the team, it’s a family. That has helped. For some people who have had to deal with some of the problems I have had to deal with don’t have football as an out.
But when you lose a family member or something tragic happens, that stays with you forever. You never get over it. Knowing that you have to deal with that for the rest of your life… Football is important, but not as important as you once thought it was.
I may be a successful football player, but I feel like such a failure.
Injuries obviously change the way you approach the game.
There are those people who are in your corner no matter what, you can’t do any wrong, even when you do wrong. And then there are those people that no matter what you do they are going to dislike you and that’s not going to change.
If I can change than anyone can change. I promise you that.
You can lose a game but, I see guys every week including myself, you lose a game, it’s a tough loss, you’re down, two weeks later you forgot about it. You know it’s amazing how down you were, but all of the sudden you’re like it never happened.
