If I had it my way, I never would have left San Francisco, but things change and that's the nature of this business. We have to move on. We hopefully get opportunities down the road that we take advantage of.

When I graduated from college I didn't want to play in the AFL.

People regularly misinterpret what I say, the question is whether that's something I ought to worry about or not!

I've been fortunate and blessed to further my career in the Arena Football League, and I've had a good time doing it.

Plays have to be made, and we have to find a way to make them. All of us.

I'll take as much work as I can get. You can always need more work.

Just because an individual in his 30s hasn't found true love and, yes, there are opportunities to date but it also forces you to be more particular. In so many ways, you become more adamant about finding that right person and not allowing yourself to open up to just anybody.

When you think about your heritage, you think about toughness and hard work.

There are times when I'm watching an NFL quarterback struggling to get through the game, and I get bitter to some extent.

I don't know if it's how I speak or what it is about me that presents that sort of label, but I don't know how many times I have to be out in public with a girlfriend to stop that from being said.

I think I'm very conscientious of how precious life is and how quickly life can be taken away from you, especially at times when it can be least expected.

Part of my growing up was always trying to make my parents proud and always trying to keep them happy. I think part of what held them together was my involvement in sports.
