There's not a long track record of people leaving professional sports to become a software developer.

In the seventies we had to make it acceptable for people to accept girls and women as athletes. We had to make it okay for them to be active. Those were much scarier times for females in sports.

I wanted to use sports for social change.

Now I know you expected me to say that well I just kick back in the rocking chair fished a little bit listened to Willie Nelson tapes and watched old baseball games on the Classic Sports network. And tell you the truth I have done that for maybe about five total minutes.

I like both athletic girls and girly girls. It depends on their personality. I like girls who can go out and play sports with me and throw the football around but you don't want a girl who's too much tougher than you. I like brainy girls who can respond to what I'm saying.

Team sports aren't my thing. I find it easier to pick something up if I can do it at my own speed. And you don't need a partner to go running you don't need a particular place like in tennis just a pair of trainers.

I never really participated in specific sports or anything but once I hit 40 I started to get a little bit more active and began swimming more.

I'm a big sports fan. Football. Cricket.

The biggest lesson from Africa was that life's joys come mostly from relationships and friendships not from material things. I saw time and again how much fun Africans had with their families and friends and on the sports fields they laughed all the time.

I had fun pretending to be a sportscaster. People always think that was a down thing for me. I had the best job in sports broadcasting for two years.
