Ernie Accorsi Charles Quotations

As it is with all of these guys, do they have the stomach for pro football? I remember Jack Ramsey introducing me to Charles Barkley. I said to him, 'You would make a great tight end.' He told me I was out of my mind. He said, 'Do you think I want to get hit in the mouth on every play?' It's a different world. It's all about wanting it badly enough.

I once went to a basketball game and told Charles Barkley he'd make a great tight end. And he said, 'No thank you.' Most of them don't want to do it because, in football, you get smacked in the mouth.
