I could never understand why they did that to Barry Sanders in Detroit. I know that's one of the reasons why he retired, because they took him out on third down and let someone else catch the ball. I thought they must be out of their mind because Barry is such a threat.

'The Autobiography of Malcolm X.' I've used it to demonstrate racial attitudes to people who I thought needed a better understanding of all human beings. Malcolm was not a racist. He was not looking for revenge. He realized that kindness and goodness did not come from any one kind of person.

We thought we could get to the offensive boards. I thought we were a little bit bigger than they were. ... a little more athletic with our big girls. That's what we have to do. If we're going to win games, we've got to get to the boards and everybody knows that.
