It's something that traumatizes an entire team, as well it should, ... It's just not something you easily get over.

You go for it. All the stops are out. Caution is to the wind, and you're battling with everything you have. That's the real fun of the game.

Everything else is sacrificed to that end. But all of a sudden something like that happens, and if you have any air of intelligence, you've been shaken down to the very core of yourself. I know that happened to me; I don't know that I was ever the same after that. After that, a lot of things became clear to me outside of football. ... You have an aura of invincibility when you're a great athlete, and all of a sudden, wow ... there's a wakeup call that your aura is a fantasy.
