The best meal at my restaurant is the whole right side of the menu.

You see a hockey player, you'd never know he's a professional athlete. But you put the skates on him, and he becomes a beast.

I'm afraid of being average. I have a real fear of being just another linebacker.

I had parents who instilled in me the importance of love, morals and hard work. I give God all the glory because he has brought me through so much.

The media paint ugly pictures about you.

I'm a very intermediate sax player, but now that Rob Lowe is on my show, I had to cop to him. Like, 'Dude your ridiculous fake sax playing [in St. Elmo's Fire] inspired me to pick up a horn.'

We will not build our offensive game plans around our punter... We hope we don’t major in punting.
