The difference between God and Reggie Jackson is that God doesn't think he's Reggie Jackson.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Jackson was not a religious man when he came to Lexington.
Everybody's got a Reggie story.
I'm not God - but I am something similar.
Misconception Number 1, the public always thought, 'Reggie has a massive ego; he's narcissistic, he's cocky, he needs everyone to look at him all the time,' because that's what the media told them. Wrong. I could handle the attention. I didn't let the attention affect my performance. But I never needed the attention.
Snoop Dog is the Phil Jackson of youth football coaches. He ain't going to accept nothing but a winner.
There's only one God. Call him whatever you want.
I've had to come to grips with a God that fits my own experience, which is, my God could not be offering protection and not have protected my boy.
Everybody else is calling this 'Reggie's Team' and that's fine with me. It's just another challenge I have to face, and I look forward to it.
I'm tired of hearing people say 'Reggie Jackson needs New York, needs the media, needs the attention.' I've always gotten it whenever I wanted it.
I think there's a difference between God and religion.
