Sometimes I pay for it, With the way I walk now, the things I did to my body wasn't supposed to be done. At 48 years old, it is saying, 'Hey, Earl, remember what you did to me?'.
I have a wife and two boys. One is 18 and the other is 14. The 18-year old is getting ready for college next year and he made a decision to run track. He runs a lot like Michael Johnson.
My running style was kind of just head-on, because I couldn't dance.
When you get to the end zone, act like you've been there before.
Somebody will always break your records. It is how you live that counts.
I think the facilities committee could work more with the construction manager and the oversight committee. We could work together and report back to the board.
If it weren't for the dark days, we wouldn't know what it is to walk in the light.
I played football with my whole body - My hands, my head, my face. I did it all.
I talk to student-athletes. I try to get them to remember that they're not just athletes, but student-athletes. You need to get an education, keep your hands clean and try to represent the university.
When I was a kid and got in trouble, I'd always say, Mom, I'm in trouble. Well, Mom, I'm in trouble.
Everything in life has a price on it - there ain't a damn thing free in America, and football has got a price on it.
Emmitt Smith is a great running back. One of the things I like about him along with Edgerrin James is that neither one of them 'show out' when they run a touchdown.
There are two things panic patients hate to do. They hate to take medication - and they hate to go to doctors. They hate to come to grips.
I had two things I could do: I could run over you, and I could put a good stiff arm on you. That was about it.
