Once you become an owner of a team, you get so much more into the sport and you can't help it. So I really love NFL football now to the degree of following it much more than I did previously.

My construction business represents 10 or 20 times what I'll ever invest in football. But from the moment I bought the Chargers, I would become forever known as the owner of that NFL franchise.

These opportunities don't come around too often. It's quite an honor and a privilege to be able to sit here today saying that I'm a part-owner of an NFL team.

A significant piece of the wealth that the NFL owners garner is a result of the enormous TV revenues they get - and those revenues are supported by a legislatively granted exemption from the antitrust laws that has been made applicable to sports leagues, primarily the NFL.

There is no formula to making it to the NFL other than good fortune and and playing well in college.

If you can have a really good coaching staff, and you can have a really good young quarterback and do a really good job in player personnel and string together multiple successful drafts, your window is not small in the NFL because of the quarterback.

If you're playing baseball and thinking about managing, you're crazy. You'd be better off thinking about being an owner.

I think in the NFL knowledge is power, and you try to get the knowledge by whatever means.

I don't want to be in the Hall of Fame. I don't think owners should be.

It's an awesome responsibility, not only to maintain the level of success the NFL has, but to build on that.
