Most families had four, five brothers. But because it was just me and Darryl, we had to be twice as strong.

I have four of the most incredible children. And I have five grandchildren.

It's looking like it'll probably be five. But if somebody like South Carolina makes a real strong case to get in ... if you're getting a sixth team in, that's a lot better than having a situation where it's looking like six already and you're trying to become the seventh.

The cops picked me up for attempted murder. I can still see the detectives, licking their chops. Thought they had me. Two weeks later, the cat came out of a coma and told the truth. I was innocent.
