His boys are at that age where they're throwing the football, ... He sees there are the boys out there playing ball, and I'm almost positive that he went, `My dad used to be out there all the time.' |
I'm not interested in being a GM. My passion is doing the things I'm doing with the asset-management company ... and my car dealerships. |
If Michael Jordan was the standard for hard work in basketball, then Jerry Rice is the standard for football, ... If there's a way to go out for Jerry, this is probably the right way. The gas is out of the tank. He did everything that he could. Most people didn't think he would have the impact that he did on this game. But he came into the league trying to make a team, and that's how he's leaving. |
If you can believe it, the mind can achieve it. |
Jerry always told me that he never played the perfect game. In his mind, that's a lofty deal. A lot of people would take a few of his games as perfection. |
The last two years have been a wake-up call for him. A wake-up call to be around his boys, to have fun, to be a great dad, to be like his dad was to him. |
You could see the excitement. He was more excited about that than on that last drive going down against Denver. What you're finding is that he's making plays. He's just doing it in another platform. He's trying to make plays. It's kinda hard to turn off. |
