Growing up wrestling, you get injured, and they expect you back on the mat in a couple weeks unless it's really bad.

I spent a lot of my childhood growing up in Oklahoma, where I wrestled and played baseball.

The wrestling experiences I've had, the understanding I have of my body, that stuff has allowed me to excel.

Disney World was tough because you do a lot of walking, but it was worth it. To see the smiles on the faces of my kids and the memories that we made makes it all worth it.

I feel fortunate that there was a place like the CFL where I could hone my skill and become a consistent football player and have a nice career.

They should have a rule: in order to be a sportswriter, you have to have played that sport, at some level; high school, college, junior college, somewhere. Or, you should have had to have been around the game for a long time.

One of the things you learn in football is that you're only as good as your last outing. I don't like to reflect on what we've done in the past. I'm not a very good storyteller, for one thing. I'd disappoint you. When it's time, I'll talk about the good old days. But it's a sign of old age, reveling in the past.

Charles and I go back since college. None of us thought this would happen, we just wanted to play basketball. This is the highest honor that can ever be paid, and it's mind-blowing.
