Growing up as a kid, the back of my house faced a little community airport about four or five miles from my house.

I have been a fan all my life, but now I have been out of football for over 10 years, and out of baseball for a little over six years and I don't go to games.

I was the type of guy that used to get up in the morning and go out and just out run everybody on the field without stretching or warming up or anything.

But now, I get up every morning and go to the gym because I don't like waking up stiff or in pain and wondering if my hip is going to hurt me.

I struck out with two men on base. I was so angry, so frustrated, I turned and without even thinking about it, snapped my bat over my thigh. The bat split right in half. Afterward, reporters asked me if it was the first time I'd ever broken a bat over my thigh. I broke an aluminum bat over my knee in college, I said. (I was just kidding).

My sophomore year I placed 2nd, and my junior and senior year - I got smart and piled up enough points between myself and second place where I didn't have to run the mile.

Image
I think everyone would love to see Jeff Gordon lose or get run into the wall, but I think he uses that - similar to me.
Bo Jackson
Image
I'm the type of person, I cross the bridges once I get to 'em. I don't try to plan my life three, four months in advance, because you don't know if tomorrow's promised to you.
Bo Jackson
Image
I was always an Alabama fan growing up, but when the Alabama recruiter told me I would probably not be able to play until the end of my sophomore year, or the beginning of my junior year.

Football is easy if you're crazy as hell.

Image
But now in this day and age, people are more prone to go out to try new things to enhance their performance on the field - to enhance their physical appearance.

Don't sell yourself short because without that you can't go far in life because after sports the only thing you know is sports and you can't do anything else with that.

I was always the fastest and strongest kid in my school so events like the 100 meter and discus throwing attracted me. I could throw the discus for great distance s without the proper spin and throw technique.
Bo Jackson

I love going out and doing new things.
