If I decided to take a couple of days rest because he drank too much or has 3 or 4 girls before the night, you know. But I came out swinging every practice, no matter how many beers it strikes me because it is in Berlin? And what I love football. I made an impression on him. I had a great 3 years. I was all pro.What you remember a time when most of the Pro Bowl?   The only time that our school was, Dermontti Dawson. I called and he was two meters from me. I said,? Hey, what are you going? And he said, "What does it mean? and I said? No? So what to use. He said:? Man, we retued to Hawaii, which in their shorts and slippers and wear your tank top and go down there? and hung up on me. I was nervous. Dan Marino, John Elway, Emmitt Smith - all these great players and now I was one of them. E 'stato un po' difficult to imagine myself as one of them sitting in the same room, we? All players Pro E 'was my first, so we went there excited.So? I was nervous and could not? Speak. I felt like I was tripping on the carpet. I sat and said? Be still.

I want my name to the Pro Bowl. Being a graduate of UCLA, what is your opinion on the question whether in these days children should stay in college or be able to take the money and enter the NFL early? In particular, the situation Maurice Claretta happened.   I think Maurice makes a mistake, obviously. Probably would have stayed in school. Now his reputation is ruined and that? S is not as good as people might think footballers. For a time 'was really a smooth running back and now all of a sudden, their population has actually decreased. He could not even get drafted. What? It is hard to say. When you? I have this kind of money there? S hard to say no. Especially for some of these children do not come from a lot of money. You just make the right choice. Of course you need your education. You can always go back. But if you? Go enough and you? Able to retu to the first tu, and you have $ 10 or $ 15 million sitting there when you sign your name? S hard to say no. I do not think anyone can answer this question, unless you? Put back in that situation. You must make a rational use choice.Steroid was the big question on the negative, Major League Baseball in the past year. As a professional athlete, what? And your opinion on this? Obviously, steroids are illegal and must be? Do not use them. Obviously, some players have and I think that? S evident. It can be said that players who have used them. Some children used to improve their performance so they can play longer. They may not have the ability to play God in a way that have to do everything possible to ensure that they are able to compete with other people. Especially if you? You are a young player, that behind a boy? S, for example, is to hit 45 home runs and you know what? S on steroids and you? Sit back and hit home runs to 10? Will be smaller. What? S tough call. Want to be all equal. Steroids are bad and can? Not being part of the game. They can not in any way and I believe that in the long term, the effect we see children dying at a young age. Is this possible? I really do not go it.What 's your favorite team NFL? My favorite team? What? And a good question. Honestly I like the Steelers because I played for them. I used to encourage children, but I knew I? I'm getting older, all the guys are pretty retiring. I? Only a fan of football in general, and our goal for them all.Favorite Coach? Bill Cowher yet? Yes, because he coached me. I always wish you well. You know, I like to watch the Steelers do well. 15 and 1 last year. What? S hard to have a season like this and then lose in the playoffs. He does everything well, you know? Re 15 and 1. What? Sa hard pill swallow.After football, what? S your favorite sport to watch? I like basketball. I? F Lakers a big fan. Shaquille O? Neal fan. I? I am a little 'disappointed to be traded. Unfortunately, he and Kobe can not get along. I just disappointed as a fan of the Lakers that the two egos that could not be behind them and play basketball. They had a great thing. What? S a horrible season. What? S difficult for me to see. So Jerry Buss will tu this thing around, because I do not think he likes lose.After leaving the NFL, which like many others, have had their share of problems. What have you done differently in the NFL as they prepare for life after? The right kind of did everything, right? S just after I left it all the wrong moves. Paid for the house, money in the bank, pay for the car, I was fine. I just made the wrong decision trying to get in business with different people and confidence to run their business and not know what they were doing. Assuming I could make my money, I believe that the false dream and the mistake of listening to them. If I could do it again, I have only taken a year off, loss of weight, I have my knees and began to work in my profession of coaching. Hopefully, it would be. My wife told me I had to do, but I decided to listen to me and go into business and I made a fundamental error. What? S OK. I? I retu from it. What? S as in the bottom of a swimming pool? To go all the way down just to rebound and retu to top.I I am sure that the media has gone through his works from time to time. If I could address a single issue, what would it be? I? I am sure that there? Sa lot of things we have said, and he? Not yet strongly felt. They say behind my back, I do not know you. As for giving me the money for the child, I made the mistake of fundamental trust him. He lied to me and gave me the money and other things he did for her. I have problems because of such activities. You know, I hope that one of these people in my community. I was na? And I have done wrong view of faith in these guys and now I know better.As a young adult, who has set his goal of playing in the NFL. Fast forward 10 years. . . what purpose they were created for you now? I? how to become an assistant coach in the NFL and that? s my goal. Just to be a coach to help young children who come from the ranks and help them avoid mistakes, as I have done, and only happy.In conclusion, for the fans out there that followed the Rams to the Steelers, seen in the Pro Bowl, there's something you want to say to you fans? are you doing now? You know? s been hard. I? M of a survivor. A weak man, probably would have done things differently, but I know I? I am stronger than that. Therefore, only be positive. No matter what happens I know that? S is set to grow. Duval only know Love is a battle that will rise to the top again.Watching, speaking, reading, shopping and browsing sports is what I do and what I do best. If you see me, know that I had never had a day of sport in my life that is ironic is not it? However, we have opinions and I work for an Inteet company by the end of TheSportsCritics.com!
