Businessman

Yeah, I think anyone who plays the game for any length of time will pick up a concussion or two or three. I did.

But there is something to be said for having one individual who is responsible entirely for the capital commitment. And it's not WWE; it's Vince McMahon and his company, Alpha Entertainment. It's not like I have to go to a board of directors. Vince makes the decisions on what he wants to do, and that makes my life easier.

Once you're under contract with the XFL, you're under contract, regardless of position. We're not trying to be a development league for the NFL.

I would support a league that would put the safety of players first.

I've got a balance sheet. Every year I have to figure out how much I generate and what I spend, and keep those two somewhat in relationship.

I spent most of my adult life trying to get as far away from my folks as possible.

I'm a football guy, but to me, nothing is sacred.

I spoke to a bunch of University of Houston students and said, 'One of the beauties of the free enterprise system we have in this country is that there's capital that people are willing to put at risk for new ventures and startups.'

It's hard to play quarterback in professional football.

Football has always been a constant in my life and I'm excited about the unique opportunity to present America's favorite sport to fans in a new way. The XFL will create first-class organizations that local cities across the country will be proud of.

A lot of people go to college games and enjoy it. There might be an NFL-caliber guy on the field or two or three, but you don't need an Odell Beckham Jr. making a one-handed grab.

Our players are our human capital and we want to make sure that, while football remains a pretty rough, tough game, that we're doing all that we can to make sure that they're as safe as possible in terms of equipment and penalties.

The student-athlete of today is different than I was, and certainly different than back in the 1940s and '50s.

The wagering thing for a lawyer is very interesting. Will there be mobile sports wagering? Will there be mobile prop betting? Conceivably, someone sitting in basketball area placing prop bets on a mobile phone while the individual is 10 feet from the court? Some of the possibilities are angst-producing.

As those who have spent time in West Virginia know, this is truly a special place.

We don't want to do gimmicks. Gimmicks in XFL 1 didn't work very well.

Worked my way up the proverbial food chain to become president of NFL Europe.

I do believe that the name, image, likeness for an individual is a fundamental right - that any individual controls his or her name, image and likeness - and I don't believe that a student-athlete who accepts a grant-in-aid simply waives that right to his or her name, image, likeness.
