I also played in the 1967 Super Bowl against the Green Bay Packers.

I played a lot of right field with Tampa.

I remember I was like five or six years old; I played the devil. That was my first role.

Even in past years, when I wasn't in the Super Bowl, I wished I was.

Some of my finest memories are from my time at the University of Texas. College baseball, I love it.

I can't believe I survived, not only my life, but I am still playing football 'cause half of those eight or nine years I don't even remember.

I'm retiring as a football player from the University of Tennessee who played for the Colts and the Broncos and was very lucky to have played for all of them.

But I was always a bit of a gypsy, anyway. I spent five years at Oklahoma State, five years at Miami and moved on after winning the national championship, and five years with the Cowboys. So, I was ready to move on. We won back-to-back Super Bowls, and I felt that I accomplished what I wanted to accomplish.

I played from the time I was seven years old. My father was my first baseman coach. I had opportunities that I never really pursued - with some Miami teams and a few larger colleges, and then I ended up bailing and began cooking.
