He'd come up to the ball for the first play and say, 'Hi, Ben.' I'd say, 'Hi, Jim.' Then we bent down and went at it, ... After the game, we'd shake hands and say, 'See you in a couple of weeks.'

What went through my mind was, maybe I can break Lenny Dawson's ribs and he won't be able to play next week, ... Maybe they'll lose and we'll be back in first place.

I never looked at it that way. I didn't play high school football, so I had a late start. I was young, too. I came out of high school when I was just 16, out of college when I was 20.

Isaac did it, but I got all the publicity. Isaac figured if the stupid reporters had got it right, he would have been doing the Miller Lite commercials, not me.
