I think that's awesome to have a former player in the GM role, somebody that not only understands the game of football but has played the game of football.
I do have a son. He's out of school now. He never played football. And it had nothing to do with me. I was actually crushed that he didn't play football. I thought, 'Oh my God, this is awful.' My brothers all played football. My dad played football.
I was a ball guy. I played basketball, baseball, football. I excelled in football the most. I played running back, wide receiver, safety, kick returner, punt returner.
I'm a football guy at heart; maybe I should have played football for a living instead, because I play a lot of football videogames, I'm really into them.

Football is not played on paper, it is played on a pitch. This game is not mathematics and in football, two plus two very rarely equals four - it's usually three or five.
I'm just god-gifted: I have a talent. Even when I played basketball, no one ever taught me the game. I just played it. And with football, I just converted basketball to football and just played.
To me, it was never about what I accomplished on the football field. It was about the way I played the game. I played the game with a lot of determination, a lot of poise, a lot of pride and I think what you saw out there...was an individual who really just loved the game.
I don't care to be remembered as the man who scored six touchdowns in a game. I want to be remembered as a winner in life.
If you played the game the right way, played the game for the team, good things would happen

More than anything tough, I play 'Madden'. I'm a football guy at heart; maybe I should have played football for a living instead, because I play a lot of football videogames. I'm really into them.
I'm the football manager. I make all the football decisions that evolve around the game that's being played on a Saturday.
My dad was a really big baseball guy who helped coach me and thought the game should be played the right way.
I was always that fringe guy anyway, the guy who played football and then did the musicals.
It's not science; it's common sense: it's playing the right players in the right positions for the style of football you want to implement in a specific game.
