And I get asked all the time about my career, growing up as an athlete, as kind of an underdog type of player. I thought, what better to get your message out than to do a book?

I think there comes a time with a quarterback, especially when things go a little sideways, that players begin to try to do things a little uncharacteristic of what they've done in the past.

I've always liked Jordan Howard and what he's done in his young career. He's one of the top running backs, when you look at some of the production numbers.

You look at my career, everywhere I went - Miami, Green Bay, Cleveland, Philly - they were always bringing in draft picks and former first-rounders and guys with free-agent deals to take my job.

There's nothing more pathetic than listening to a football game over the Internet, but I've done that.

Watching my kids grow up made me realize that they would never know a world or a time without the Internet.

Forget artificial intelligence - in the brave new world of big data, it's artificial idiocy we should be looking out for.

If we ever head down the American path of banning certain books or turning the editorial process into one of censorship, we will risk turning teens off books and sending them elsewhere - to their X-Boxes, for instance. To the Internet. And they won't ever come back to books.
