I have a need to do something and know I can be successful.
People go through life and make personal decisions and sometimes they don't work out. I won't be the first person to be divorced.
My family is everything to me.
It's a basic, elemental universe, one of the last remaining zones where violence and domination sort out who is top dog. That's football's glory, and its curse. The game of football doesn't transfer well to the real world. You can't treat your friends, neighbors, or loved ones the way you treat your opponent on the football field.
You get held to a high standard, almost an unmaintainable standard, in the public eye that you don't even come close to touching.
