I would never be one to critique the announcers when I watched games. I try to watch the play and listen to the broadcasters and what they are pointing out. I was never one to say this one was good or bad.

If you're not controversial, you'll never break through the din of all the commentary.

Sometimes when I hear commentating, it's sickening. People who never played the game, people who never played in the league have an opinion, and that's all it is. You are here to educate the watcher or the viewer. Sometimes it comes off as personal.

There's an old saying amongst players in football talking about your general manger and coaches, they speak with a forked tongue.

I sit down with my coach to watch past performances. But I can be very critical. I don't watch myself very often - it makes me cringe!

Critics should be looked at simply as commentators.

And I would be the first to admit that probably, in a lot of press conferences over the time that I have been in coaching, indulging my own sense of humor at press conferences has not been greatly to my benefit.

I guess taking a stand is valid for a commentator. But that's not what I am.

I give a facial expression in a moment of silence for audiences to react to what I just said and kind of let that marinate with the audience for a little bit. I enjoy the physical part of the comedy as much as the verbal content. People tend to gravitate to not only what they're hearing but also what they're seeing.
