You can't love your team without hating another team.

I had the opportunity to go with some other teams. But I didn't consider those teams to be contenders, and I was right.

I never did have a team that I watched in my younger days.

I love the NFL. I don't have a team per se, but I'm into it.

Do we settle on a regional team because we can go to its ballpark and see its games on television? Or do we choose a team as our favorite because it has an especially appealing player, a Barry Bonds or an Ichiro?

My favorite team is the Bengals. In Idaho, we didn't really have a home team. But my parents are from Ohio, and when I was a little kid, my aunts and uncles would send me Boomer Esiason T-shirts and Ickey Woods mini-footballs, so I got hooked on those guys.

It's discouraging for me to come out there and watch the lack of fan support for a good team.

I don't like losing.

There's a place in my heart for every team I played on.
