I like him very much, … He’s a good guy, a fighter and a scrapper. He has to continue to fight and scrap and stay healthy.

You must also give mental and physical fitness priority.

I have been a part of this development, so I am very proud of it.

It was a very exciting time for me to play professional football, finally.

calling a friend, a Placer County Sheriff’s deputy (Ryan Berry). She knew I was home. For a moment, I evidently came to and picked up the phone but could hardly talk. I just moaned. She...

I have seen the Raiders develop into what they are today.

It’s not that difficult to win. It’s more difficult to win consistently and stay on top.

I also played in the 1967 Super Bowl against the Green Bay Packers.

I liked to play against all the teams in the National Football League or the American Football League, because they were always a challenge.

The first game I played. We played against the Dallas Texans.

He took ‘characters’ and handled them and made players out of them. He was on top of the offense and the defense. He could talk to the defensive coach while setting up the offense during...

I think Ray Guy and John Madden for sure should be in the Hall of Fame and Cliff Branch should be as well.

The NFL offensive blocking is played differently; they use their hands instead of their head and shoulders.

I don’t think you’ll find much opposition to putting it behind the counter. I think most retailers are supportive.

I think the officials and NFL owners are playing to the type of game that people want to see.

The plays I remember are the plays I made a mistake.

I can remember knowing that I had to block Willie Lanier, or I had Buck Buchanan and Curley Culp right over my nose, beating on me, … I’d get done blocking one Hall of Famer...

I think the tougher the challenge the better.

There is hard hitting, but the hitting is not nearly as hard as it used to be.

Kansas City people are very, very loyal to their players and their team, … Very avid. Very similar to our people.

I was told in high school that the last game during your senior year stays with you forever, which is true.

We have always had great and loyal fans in Oakland.

And as a true athlete, mistakes haunt you forever.

I work here at the Raiders. My position is basically what I make it.

We have three tremendous tight ends in Christianson, Casper, and Chester.

But now there are more concussions due to not being used to the hard hitting.

I’ve been a Raider all my life.

When I hear anything derogatory towards the Raiders, I am definitely hurt.

Everyday I walked on to the field I was the best center.

If something is said about the Raiders, I’m ready to go to war.

You have to stay one level above everyone else.

Everyone wants to beat us. So you can never take a single game lightly.

If the entire team can feel the same way about these things, you can consistently remain a winner.
