I learned the major difference between college and pro football. In the pros, you're up against a top receiver almost every minute of time. In college, maybe one comes along every third game.
From Burgess Owens
One of these days, I'm going to stop learning through my errors.
You learn in the pros that errors can be costly.
I played on the Jets during Namath's last four years, and we used to ask ourselves, 'When is it going to happen? When are they finally going to replace him?' We'd wait for it, week by week, but it never happened.
We don't have to wonder or drift with society; the Lord has a very strong and clear pathway of what is right and where blessings come from.
You learn after losing quite a bit, year after year, that you have to continue to work hard, stay tough, and endure to the end before it's going to work out.
There is nothing more rewarding than winning when you're looked at as not being capable of doing so.
There were questions I didn't have the answers to, and I was trying to figure it out. I remember staying up until 4 A.M. reading the Bible and praying.
Unfortunately, I have been a little disappointed that we have issues out there like traditional marriage, abortion, school education, and we have so much silence from the black community, from black preachers, because they understand first hand the impact of all that.
It is no accident that this country has been blessed with its abundance and its history as the freest and most productive in the world.
