I've always felt that people put me down, and I'd fight back. I played football 15 years, and nobody gave me any credit, and they never will do.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
When I went to high school, an all-boys' school, a Catholic school, I tried out for football, and I didn't make it. It was the first time, athletically, that I was knocked down.
Once you're a football player, you're a football player for life. You always think of yourself in terms of that. We all do. It's hard to get rid of when you can't play anymore.
If you identify yourself as a great football player, anytime anyone challenges that, you're going to have some kind of problem.
I was not a very good football player. My coach hated me - I don't know why, I guess it's probably because I wasn't very talented.
I've been in football a long time and people have problems through debt, drugs, drink and family.
I am more mature now and know how to deal with certain situations in football. It's not all about highs; there are also lows, but I can deal with it. Football is a hard business.
I was not a very good football player when I started out.
I don't like people who get into fights about football - or anything else.
Never played football, but I'm an athlete. I'm a competitor.
I've grown over the years and I know how to adapt to situations, where I can go into a situation where there's a crowd of people and just take over. But pretty much I'm off to myself. And I'm totally committed to the game of football. That's why I've had so much success.
