Athletes tend to have less of a sense of humor than most people. They are heroes to so many. That might be part of it.

Jim Thorpe is someone I've always loved. He was an Olympic athlete you know and a football player from back in the day. I'd love to play him.

When you become famous you start getting invites to parties where there are famous athletes and famous rock stars politicians people who have tremendous power and affluence. It's not in my DNA but certainly I have been exposed to it.

America believes in education: the average professor earns more money in a year than a professional athlete earns in a whole week.
