‘I think it was just growing up on a poor farm in North Dakota, I mean you had to work. My first organized practice was in 7th grade. My earliest recollection of football was being out there in the 7th grade waiting for the other kids for practice to start. The kids just saying “Gee, this stinks, it’s hot, we just want to play the game.” And I’m just like “I’m just glad to be here, if I was at home I’d really have to be working.” You know that’s my earliest recollection, I guess I just didn’t know it any other way.’
