I was president of the schools in junior high and high school, got a scholarship to New York University, played a little basketball, and was a celebrity.

Then I went to UCLA - so of course I became a huge Bruin basketball fan... and later came to football.

Sports were a big part of my life. I was the captain of the basketball team in high school, and captain of the basketball team at Princeton.

I was a total jock growing up. I went to super-dorky basketball clinics and was handpicked to play on a state team called the Texas Heat.

I was pretty much seen as a basketball player coming out of high school. Football was my second love, but luckily, I turned out to be pretty good. Something just drew me to football; besides, I ended up being too short for my position in basketball.

I played a little basketball. Some football in junior high.

I lived to play basketball. Growing up as a kid, Bill Russell and the Boston Celtics were my favorite team. The way they played, the teamwork, the sacrifice, the commitment, the joy, the camaraderie, the relationship with the fans.

In high school and college, I was an athlete.
