The game of football is one of strategy and tactics.

Nobody despises to lose more than I do. That's got me into trouble over the years, but it also made a man of mediocre ability into a pretty good coach.

As the youngest, I don't think there was any doubt I was spoiled.

I may not be able to outsmart too many people, but I can outwork 'em.

An athlete gets paid a lot of money. And someone who is after that, a thief, a mugger or someone who steals from people, they are taking a chance with the law that if they get caught, they are going to jail or face some other problem. In my case, you are going to get shot.

Sports is human life in microcosm.

I don't think there are many larger lessons to be found in sports.

Football, that's just athletics. But in the business world - doing everything - people are competing. So you need good work ethics, and I think it helped me to develop good work ethics, being in a small town.
