Occupation: Football Player Birth: January 5, 1938
I have seen the Raiders develop into what they are today..
The plays I remember are the plays I made a mistake..
And as a true athlete, mistakes haunt you forever..
If something is said about the Raiders, I'm ready to go to war..
I think Ray Guy and John Madden for sure should be in the Hall of Fame and Cliff Branch should be as well..
I liked to play against all the teams in the National Football League or the American Football League, because they were always a challenge..
I also played in the 1967 Super Bowl against the Green Bay Packers..
You have to stay one level above everyone else..
When I hear anything derogatory towards the Raiders, I am definitely hurt..
I was told in high school that the last game during your senior year stays with you forever, which is true..
The first game I played. We played against the Dallas Texans..
We have always had great and loyal fans in Oakland..
It's not that difficult to win. It's more difficult to win consistently and stay on top..
Everyday I walked on to the field I was the best center..
I think the tougher the challenge the better..
I think the officials and NFL owners are playing to the type of game that people want to see..
If the entire team can feel the same way about these things, you can consistently remain a winner..
Everyone wants to beat us. So you can never take a single game lightly..
You come out hurting all over, and what didn't hurt, didn't work..
You must also give mental and physical fitness priority..
I've been a Raider all my life..
