I told him when he came back that I was going to treat them to a game, and I'm a man of my word. I'm a huge supporter of the military and all they do.

I still feel the same way, ... It’s a slap in the face to the NFL when someone that’s in college tries to put himself above the NFL and above the NFL (Players Association) and what we established and what all the guys who sacrificed that played before me and before him, before he stepped on the field,to rise up and try to be better than that, is a discredit to the guys that played this game.

Sometimes, a bye can be bad for you. You start to overanalyze the opponent and drive yourself nuts. When you have too much time to [prepare], sometimes it's counterproductive.

When he came to the Lakers, Bob McAdoo told me how much the game meant, how it changed everything, how it opened up the world for black kids in the South. I guess I never really thought of it that way, that we were such a big part of history.

I don't treat my dog like that. I buried my dog.

The defence had a tremendous game. We left some points on the field. We've got to score when we get in the red zone. But my brother scoring and for me to score and with my dad being here, well. . .
