The raw emotion and physical nature of the NFL definitely push a lot of peoples' buttons. It's played once a week, so every game is important.
As an NFL analyst, my job was to watch countless hours of game film and critique NFL coaches and that's what I've been doing the last 10 years. And there are coaches that I question in the NFL, and at other big collegiate institutions.
Only 7 percent of NFL fans have ever been inside an NFL stadium. Seven... have ever been inside. So the NFL is certainly about the Colosseum of Rome. It can't be a studio game.
I love the NFL. Everything that I really have is because of the NFL... but every idea that the NFL pitched is not a great idea.
It's the NFL. You have to earn it every single day. You're only as good as your last game.
I think I can go on the record and say this: I am the only player in the history of the NFL that has called an NFL game that was not a broadcast bootcamp graduate. And with that being said, that also means I have no clue what the hell to do.
I create a different playlist for each and every [NFL] game. Before the game, to gametime, to warmups, going to the stadium, I have a different playlist that puts me in a different mode.
I've seen where the NFL guys get all over the 'Madden' creators for their ratings and how they don't look good. One of my buddies plays in the NFL and he was so excited to be in 'Madden,' but then we got the game, and he was a 58.
I think the running game is very important to every offense. Being balanced is extremely important. There's times where you have to throw the ball. You could be down late in the game, you need to come back; you have to be able to pass it when they know you're passing it.
I don't know if anyone's ever done that, where they do a big college game and then do a game in the NFL. It would have to be a Monday game, obviously. If it were a Sunday game I wouldn't be able to do college and pro. Ideally, in a perfect world, I would love the challenge of trying to do both.
To me, it's just another game of football - 11 players, a grass pitch. Regardless what shirt I have on, it's important you win the game, and I'm competitive as anyone, and I want to win every game, whether it's a Sunday league game, a five-a-side tournament, or a World Cup qualifier.
I approach every week the same. I think I've always tried to be very professional to how I approach the game, my preparation. Every game is important.
In a World Cup every single game is important; you are not allowed to make mistakes, not allowed to fail. If you want to win, you have to be there every game.
I think it was the preparation and every thing Lombardi represented, you know, about hard work and that every game was important. So when you get to the real important games, you were ready to go.
The NFL has done a great job of promoting the popularity of the game. There now are youth leagues in Puerto Rico and Mexico. You're starting to see more and more young men with Hispanic surnames come into the NFL and that's a wonderful thing.
Why can't we make NFL apparel cool for every day instead of only wearing it on game day?
