Since Day One, it kind of seems like we've been chasing each other.

I don't smoke or drink, I walk 5 miles a day and I'm on a nearly vegetarian diet. In some ways, my great lifelong love of sports has gotten me through this period and when ESPN came to me with this idea, I immediately saw it as part of my recovery.

I recruited A.J. myself. And from the day I met him until now, he's been a competitor. He didn't just show up and become great. He worked extremely hard, and his competitiveness drove that. I've never seen anyone like him. He's in the weight room every day at 6 o'clock in the morning. A lot of people don't see that side of him, because he doesn't let them in. They see the glamour, but he's worked for everything he's gotten.
