Rick Bass Is One Of The Best

At The Base Of It Was The Urge, If You Wanted To Play Football, To Knock Someone Down, That Was What The Sport Was All About, The Will To Win Closely Linked With Contact.

It's Like People Always Say, Well, Does Sport Teach You Anything In Life? It Teaches You Certain Things, But It Doesn't Teach You Other Things. It Doesn't Teach, As I Say, Very Much About Marriage, Very Much About How To Make A Living, Any Of Those Things.
