If Clark Haggans didn`t break his hand I`m not in Pittsburgh, I`m not in football,
Clark ended up getting hurt, and I had to play like three quarters, ... The tight end came across the middle, and I knocked him silly and almost knocked myself out. They said I was out, but I don`t think I was.
He had two choices -- either take me up high, which I didn`t think he would do, or cut me, ... I figured he was going to try to cut me because it`s Monday night and you don`t want to get run over in front of everybody.
I was sitting at home looking for a job, a real job, not a football job. I was giving up on this.
It`s a lot easier to stick if you`re one of those first three picks, because they`re going to give them a lot more time to develop than they will that free-agent guy they only paid a couple thousand dollars, ... You gotta come in and do something to make them look at you and say, `Well, maybe there`s something in that guy that we can use.`
It`s not good anytime you go out there and a team runs up and down the field like that. But we got two more weeks to get everything together.
Superman ain`t got nothing on me, ... Kryptonite? C`mon now.
It`s just that you`re never going to hear me say that somebody is tougher than me, ... Because I don`t believe somebody else could be tougher than me.
I said, all right, whatever, I`ll go in,
I`ll put it to you in simple terms: The center and the guard were so far gone, the running back had to make moves to avoid them. We were just coming in and cleaning things up.
