How you recover from what life's throwing at you is what matters.

Ketika Anda menang, tidak ada yang menyakitkan.

I can't compare family to athletics.

I've always said I'm going to get married only once.

Where I came from, sports were the only way to get out front.

I'd rather go to Vietnam than get married.

I like music and I like ladies. I like to see them dance.

Johnny Unitas was my hero.

There's an old saying amongst players in football talking about your general manger and coaches, they speak with a forked tongue.

I've figured out that life in general is a team effort; it's a team game.

I don't care what a man is as long as he treats me right. He can be a gambler, a hustler, someone everybody else thinks is obnoxious, I don't care so long as he's straight with me and our dealings are fair.

What I do is prepare myself until I know I can do what I have to do.

When you have confidence, you can have a lot of fun. And when you have fun, you can do amazing things.

Whether it's 18 years old or 40 years old, we think we know what's going on. But if you're lucky enough to continue the journey, its amazing how we keep learning how much we didn't know.

After my first knee operation, in January of '65 before I went to the Jets, Dr. James Nicholas told me everything went well and that I could probably play four years in the NFL. The surgery was trailblazing to a certain extent.

Most of my recognition comes from us winning that championship. The words may not come out - 'Super Bowl III' - because a lot of the folks at the grocery store, gas station or mall weren't even born when we won the Super Bowl. But they're aware of it. It has had a tremendous impact on my life since then.

I have no idea what my batting average was in high school, but I know it wasn't below .450, and that's pretty good hitting where I come from.

It feels bad to feel like you're not wanted.

I have to convince myself I know what I'm doing.
