I was a Panthers fan growing up, being close to Carolina.

Any football player will tell you that in July you get this dark cloud over you if you know camp's coming.

The lead initiative of my foundation is clean water, but not far behind it is military appreciation.

My dad and I shared a lot of football memories.

I got put into leadership roles very early in life from fifth grade, sixth grade. I always ended up being the quarterback or the leader of the sports teams, and it's kind of benefiting me now.

Cricket is a self-sustaining industry; but corporates need to realise that other sports don't have that luxury. This is the time when they need to invest, and keep the faith. Every sport has the potential to create world champions. Imagine India as a country full of world champions. Why imagine? Let's just make it happen.

As a football player, you must have a big ego to respect yourself. So if you are a good player, you must say that you are good. You need to have the confidence.

All I can say is you don't know what's going to be on the front page of tomorrow's newspaper. So I take no joy in what happens to another sport, whether it's about a perfect game or an issue of conduct.
