‘Q: Is there anything comparable between playing a defensive position in the NFL and having “game” in the kitchen? A: It can be intense in the kitchen as well, if you’re pressed for time, expecting people over and things are not going right. I’ve had food on the stove, and left to take the trash out and come right back, but ended up locking myself out with the stove going. At the end of the day, you have to take it step by step and not spread yourself too thin.’
