They kept us on the air probably a year more than they should have.

Who was the first person to fly across the Atlantic? Lindbergh. Who was the second? No idea.

They started to try and keep us off the air in the beginning.

The Eagles ended on a rather abrupt note, although in retrospect I realize now that it had been ending for quite some time.

Pete Rozelle used television to get the game to the American public by creating the Super Bowl and making it the biggest sporting event in the world.

There was a wonderful little short four-year time period when marvelous things happened. It started in 1908, when the Wright brothers flew in Paris, and everybody said, 'Ooh, hey, I can do that.' There's only a few people that have flown in early 1908. In four years, 39 countries had hundreds of airplanes, thousands of pilots.

I played in three countries. I played in two World Series. But I never found anything to match the joy and the laughter those years with the Eagles brought me. The city and county loved us.

There were incredibly few rock songs making it out to the airwaves until the '80s came along.

If you go back to the early days of aviation, the guys designing it built it, and then they got in it and flew it. I mean, who does that anymore?
