You never want conflict. But sometimes conflict is inevitable.

I may see a way I want to do something, and I understand when you have a team, everybody can't do their own thing. I'm willing to put my own agenda aside to do what's best for the team.

I would love to retire a Raider, but I have earned the right to be a free agent.

I've always respected the authority figures in my life, including my coaches.

I was just such a quiet kid. I found boxing when I was 14 years old. I went down to the gym because my brother, who used to beat me up all the time, introduced me to boxing. I found boxing to be a sport that I felt safe in because I controlled what was in those four squares.

Of course, any work you do as a sporting person, a football coach or any coach, if it is good work, you've got to have something - a championship - to show for it.

Sports and education, I think they overlap.

It is a sad day for football when a player about to enter his prime moves for financial reasons and nothing else.
