So my dad raised me, and he's a huge football fan.

Theres that initial reticence for some athletes to take you seriously.

I grew up watching Monday Night Football with Howard Cosell and the other guys with my dad.

We're starting to push the envelope in terms of the expectations, and you can also have your own style, personality and sense of humor, because now we're allowed to.
