So when kids tell me that they can't work on their games by themselves, that's just insulting my intelligence because I went out there and done it, and I became a Hall of Famer by doing it.

There's just the word.

The word.

Just somebody, you know, if you tell somebody, they'll tell somebody.

They'll see somebody.

They'll tell them, yo, you know, on Saturday we're going to the park.

Everybody going to be at the park playing football at 10 a.m.

You want to join us to be there.

And people there at 9 o'clock.

People there at 8.30 stretching out, getting ready to play, you know, actually playing football early before we even start a real, real football game.

So, yeah, you know, like you was asking me, you know, how would I be in this era?

I don't know.

I couldn't even tell you because, you know, I grew up differently.

I grew up, you know, tough.

I grew up having to do stuff for myself.

I grew up not counting on nobody.

I grew up, you know, when my parents told me no.

no means no, and that was it, and don't ask questions.

You know, I couldn't ask why, or he got that, or my friend has that.

When it was no, do not ask questions, and that was that.
