Growing up in a small town of two thousand people, there wasn't too many ways to get in trouble. But I found some. We got caught stealing green plums from this old lady's yard.

I've enjoyed so little success as a professional player.

I've always said, other than my dad, coaches had the greatest impact on me.

The best we ever did was 8-8. But my career was not as dreadful as people make it out to be. You don't see any scars on Archie Manning.

I think I'm a crossover athlete to get the sport into the mainstream media.

We live in a world where sports have the potential to bridge the gap between racism, sexism and discrimination. The 2012 Olympic Games was a great start but hopefully what these games taught us is that if women are given an opportunity on an equal playing field the possibilities for women are endless.

There are great days ahead for the University of Maryland football program, and I hope I have helped to put the program in a better place than it was when I first got there.

I used to practice at the hockey ground on synthetic surface while I was in the sports hostel, so Test cricket is certainly going to be a challenge for me.
