I was allergic to milk as a child. My older brother would always get a big glass and drink it in front of me all the time.
Football is not played in shorts and it's not fair to the big guys. So many guys look bad in shorts and then they put the pads on and they're football players.

You can die at any moment doing anything. I mean, so why not do what you love to do. If I die on game day, have a drink. Celebrate.
I never want to be a father figure to my quarterbacks. I've got my own kids. I want to be the cool uncle you'd like have a drink with.
The most important relationship a head coach has on his team isn't with the other coaches, the owner or the general manager. It's with the quarterback.

You never know about team speed until you get out there. You don't know who is a slow learner. A kid may not be very bright or he may be real bright but he doesn't know football. You've got to find out all those nuances and how they learn.
I loved the three years I had in Cleveland, especially that playoff run with Timmy Couch and Kelly Holcomb. And obviously those great years in Pittsburgh.
I think Chris Godwin is going to be close to a 100-catch guy, especially because I think he can play in the slot.
