It took me a while to realize that basketball wasn't football.
From Merlin Olsen
Most exciting for me was to make the Pro Bowl in 14 of 15 years.
Our coach was absolutely out of his head. He must have read Bear Bryant's book. We had 78 players out. The first day 35 quit. Twenty quit the second day. We ended with 17 players. It was depressing.
Our whole philosophy was to intimidate the quarterback. We were able to do it. We were pioneers. People still recognize us as, maybe, the best defensive line of all time.
Team doctors' jobs those days were to keep you on the field.
The basketball coach cut me within two days, so I was back in the pool. I was the first one in the wall after the first 25 yards, but the last one out because I didn't have a flip turn.
When a man lies, he murders some part of the world.
You are the land. The land is you.
