Go For It
My life has always been about attacking, taking chances, gambling. As a player, I'd much rather throw the football 20 yards than two. Five-yard passes are boring. I didn't care about completion percentages as much as the big play.
But beyond football, I'm not afraid of failure. If you do more things, you find more success and more failures, too.
The status quo never did suit me well.
Know When to Quit
After Super Bowl XIV, I was through. I thought winning four Super Bowls in nine years was pretty cool. I told my dad I wanted to retire. He asked me why, and I said, "Well, I seriously doubt we're ever going to be back for another Super Bowl with this collection of athletes. We've been together eight to 10 years." So I got into TV. But after doing a pilot for a show that didn't get picked up, I came back to football. I ended up staying too long, and for the wrong reason: I didn't know what else I was going to do.
