Don't eat shrimp - it's one of the most unsustainable fish. For every pound that's caught, 10 or 20 pounds of other stuff is killed and dumped back overboard.

He's got to get more focused on those four (majors). He's got Dubai, Qatar, fly eight time zones, play Bay Hill (in Florida). That's not going to work.

Bill Cowher

His record speaks for itself. We came into the league together in 1992 and I have nothing but tremendous respect for him and what he did in Green Bay and now in Seattle. We served three years together on the NFL competition committee, so I got to know him more as a person. I think the world of him and Kathy and his daughters. It's funny that he's got four girls and I've got three girls, so we've got a lot in common.
