When they came and told us he had died, I went out in the front yard and told God I hated him. He had taken my dad, and he hadn't done anything to anybody. But when I got older, I understood that when you've done all you can do and you are through, that's when he takes you. Main thing, as I drive out of my driveway I start saying my prayers, or I may say them in my chair before I leave or when I am getting dressed. I want God involved in my life every day, and if he's not in it, it's not going to be a good day.

Do everything you can while you are in school. Very few athletes make it to the next level. Get your degree, because when you get to be 45 and can't move around because of arthritis, you can still get a good job. Monday night, when we played the Dolphins. Bob Griese would throw a pass for a touchdown for the Dolphins and Earl Campbell would run for one.
