If I'm going to talk to a player and I don't know what's going on, how can I talk to that player? If I know what's going on, I can be very honest with them.
There was no publicity. You had to like it. There was no pressure, just great competition. The attitude of the coaches and players was exceptional.
I'm not pro-owner or pro-player. I am pro-football. I want the game to go on. I want the game to be tough. I don't want the game to be a killer of our players.
Nobody I ever broke bread with, and I see players all the time, talked about using their head running the football.
...you could be the best team or the best player in different generations and people respect each other. Nobody cares who was the best.
