I love a good quote.

Not only from Jesus or Aristotle or a Flock of Seagulls, but from the NFL players I get to Interview when I help out the Associated Press. Keyshawn Johnson, Tony Romo and Larry Fitzgerald are among my favorites in the NFL, but my first interview out of college played out like a band geek asking out the cheer captain.

Or at least the girl with the reputation.

I’m not sure what I meant to ask former Charlotte Hornets star Larry Johnson way back in the day, but I vomited the words like someone tossing a box of Scrabble down the stairs.

When the kids watch football with me, questions are inevitable.

But when I plop a platter of wings or burgers in front of their hungry faces, they actually turn their attention to the game on the screen.
