I wouldn't ever set out to hurt anyone deliberately unless it was, you know, important - like a league game or something.

People get hurt all the time in the game of football, it's part of what we do.

I'm not so mean. I wouldn't ever go out to hurt anybody deliberately - unless it was, you know, important, like a league game or something.

I never set out to intentionally hurt any player and never enticed any teammate to intentionally hurt another player. I also never put any money into a bounty pool or helped to create a bounty pool intended to pay out money for injuring other players.

Football is a violent sport. Somebody's going to get hurt. It's the game. Just hopefully, you're on the good side of it.

I never want to hurt anyone on the ice. That's not the type of player I am.

I probably played hurt a lot more times than I should have.

Football? Forget it. I didn't have that thing inside me where I wanted to smash against somebody and watch them break. I was too sensitive for that and disliked being that sensitive.

I don't think teams play this game to hurt other guys. I don't think that's the story. We don't play this game to hurt one another.
