If I'm tired, I'm coming out. I won't do that to my teammates and stay on the field when I know I'm not going to be able to do it.

I didn't think of football growing up. This wasn't my career, something I chose. It was something I was picked in.

Every year you've got somebody coming in and trying to kick you off, so you have to prove yourself. Even for the coaches, too. Their jobs are always on the line.

Growing up, as a kid, my father was always there.

So many times, football is really unfair.

The way skateboarding contests were in the past was like going to a basketball game and being told at the end of the game what the score was and who won. Think about how unengaging that would be if you didn't know who was ahead or if it was a close game.

The competition has improved tremendously. In 2003, I could teach a guy how to play poker in an hour and he could win some money. Today, it would take days. The game has gotten so much tougher. So I will spend my time with my family and play when I can.

As far as oligarchs who acquire sports team abroad, and invest money abroad, I wouldn't treat this phenomenon as something bad.
