Some of the money going to the rookies can now be spent on people who have proved their worth. After all, the average playing life of a pro football player is about eight years and it is only fitting that the veterans get something for their efforts.

We were always in contention-18 out of 19 years in the playoffs. And all that was because we had a pretty good offense, and we had that flex defense.

I go to the ballgames and I'm talking to the fans, and not the players. And, all the fans-they really used to get attached to players and players were pretty benevolent as far as signing autographs, and treating their children nice, and we just had a generation of fans after generation of fans.

He was a rare one: only 5 feet 7 inches tall, a lawyer and a combat veteran of the Korean War as a Marine officer. Eddie came from Washington in a trade in 1960 and ran the team in the first years while Don Meredith was learning. He was such a fantastic ball handler that even with sorry protection and the defensive line crashing in on him he threw a lot of beautiful long passes. The ball would fly out of the crowd like a mortar shell and sail 50 yards downfield. Eddie did everything by the numbers. If the receiver wasn't there, we knew whose fault it was.

There's a half-inch metal plate behind that pad, and he hit that pad with his middle knuckle and broke a bone in his hand. He hit it again, and blood started squirting out. Boy, I can tell you he had our attention from then on.

I attribute my entire football career, as far as getting me started, getting me interested, keeping me that way was my father. He went to every game even though he was crippled and wasn't real healthy.

My hero when I was a boy was Sammy Baugh, who was in the pros already, but he came from a little town near where I grew up.

Our Super Bowl VI that we won was the biggest game because it took a lot of pressure off. It was enormously satisfying because we won the game and it was a nucleus of players who had grown up together, always losing the big ones. Started out with nothing and we were still together, and it was really, really neat.

Today, free agency takes away a lot of your heroes, they go somewhere else. Some of them don't but a lot of them do-take the higher offer to go somewhere else. And, it turns the fans off because they get attached to the players.

I think when you are the parents of a gifted athlete, the best thing in the world you can do is to encourage them, in my opinion. My dad didn't push me and I didn't push my children in athletics.

The hardest guy ever to contain was Fran Tarkenton. He was like a rabbit.

We started playing the Baltimore Colts early, and I was still very impressed with Johnny Unitas, who just passed away recently. I thought he was one of the best quarterbacks at the time when I was very young, he was in his prime.

The game when we started the flex was 60 percent run, 40 percent pass. Today's game-although I do see it turning back towards trying to run more and equalize the run-pass situation. I think the game has changed so much that right now, you try to stop the pass and the runner's in the secondary.

I would say that as a lineman, I patterned myself after Gino Marchetti.

I think Jim Taylor was very underrated, never hear much about him. We played Green Bay every year in exhibition, and generally we played them every couple of years in regular season. And I always thought he was a fierce competitor.
