Halas didn't believe in starting rookies.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
But as far as the concept of HAL, who HAL was, his character - I had no role in creating him.
But there was not a job that could say that Luther Allison didn't do his job.
I think one thing I had going for me that a lot of rookies didn't is that we played 15, 16 games every year in college.
A lot of rookies hit the wall after 50 or 60 games.
I have to be able to be honest and be credible, and I think I can say, 'This guy did not have his best game today' rather than, 'He is awful and I cannot believe he did that.'
I know that nobody can become a star without a team.
Nobody wanted to believe Jack Ma.
He had a lot of talent, but didn't have much dedication, wasn't organized, didn't know how to learn, didn't know how to comprehend what he was doing, didn't try to learn how to get better.
Guys like Todd Bridges never overcame being a child star. You can't have any big failures. I've always felt regular. I played organized ball at the rec league. At 13, they told me I sold 3 million copies. I didn't know what that meant.
Trayvon Martin did not need to die.
