I failed myself when I ruined a once-in-a-lifetime chance to be Robert Griffin III's running mate during his Heisman Trophy-winning season at Baylor.

I thought that the league-imposed restriction on drinking had expired at the end of the regular season.

The clubhouse is ruined, the maintenance equipment is ruined, and the carts are ruined.

Thomas was running the ball well. I didn't get much of a chance.

Still, I always felt I had an outside chance because I had been training well. I have been running 100 miles a week until the last two weeks. Then I settled down to long, easy running. I felt the spark and spring coming back to my legs.

Then when he got a chance to be a running back, in the Cincinnati game, he did very well. In this league, you've got to do that about 100 games in a row.
