Things happen in a game, and he took responsibility for it. I hope ... he's not punished. ... That kid's a hell of a player.

Everybody wants to take responsibility when you win, but when you fail, all these fingers are pointing.

I hope to hell that when I do die somebody has the sense to just dump me in the river or something. Anything except sticking me in a goddam cemetary. People coming and putting a bunch of flowers on your stomach on Sunday, and all that crap. Who wants flowers when you're dead? Nobody.

I hope those guys burn in hell for what they did.

Playing sport was somewhat frivolous, but I liked it. I rebelled a little bit, and wouldn't go to music lessons and things like that, but I would go and play ball. My parents learned to love it because they saw how much I got out of it.

To me, teamwork is the beauty of our sport, where you have five acting as one. You become selfless.
