In football, you can always maim a person if you wanted to.

Most of the games don’t let you focus too much on the cheerleaders, but I’ve been watching these girls.

You can take a substance that works in your system, but then you take this over here that’s not banned, and this over here that’s not banned, but if you mix them together, you’ve got a banned substance in your system.

They would almost throw the cops in jail when they tried to arrest me.

He’s a cocky sumbitch. That’s what makes him such a great player.

Steroids are for guys who want to cheat opponents.

I played one game, and one game played me.

Football is not part of that lifestyle anymore.

As players, we always have a way to get back at you.

You can’t tell them anything, but hopefully they will learn from the example and won’t have to go through it.

I guess another message I’d like to say with this book is no matter how many times you fail… I failed a lot of times trying to get clean, and never thought I’d get to this point.

The NFL, and I’ve played a lot of years for them, and they have a lot of restrictions on their players, they have restrictions on their licensees, they have restrictions on everything.

Well, actually, I do the voiceover for Quentin Sands.

And once you cross over into that world, no matter how strong you are, you have to pay the price.

And I tell ya, when I sit in that sound booth and started reading the script and starting to get into the character, man, it’s an easy jump for me, because I understand what it’s all about.

I had everything working my way, strong as a bull. And still I ignored the rules of the game of life.

Taking them out of the picture, so to speak, what football really is, the savagery, the core root of football, it doesn’t change. It really puts the real in football.

LT was just a wilder person. I don’t go that route no more.

If they play dirty, then you play dirty.

First of all, a player has to know what is banned and what is not banned.

But every day I tell my story, and be comfortable with my story and be comfortable with what I’ve done, and what I did, and how I am today, it lessens the likelihood it will ever happen.

I like companies that try and break away from the norm.

In football, you can always maim a person if you wanted to.

I don’t live that life anymore, it’s as simple as that.

You try to stay within the rules for the sake of the game, but you can always turn up the intensity.

There were probably about five games in my career where everything was moving in slow motion and you could be out there all day, totally in the zone, and you don’t even know where you are on the field, everything is just totally blocked out.

People get hurt all the time in the game of football, it’s part of what we do.

Hopefully the new breed of kids won’t have to go through that hard lesson – my kids, my grandkids, my fans’ kids, hopefully they won’t have to go through it.

If I’m going to break them, I’m going to break them both.

I have a whole different type of lifestyle.
