I've been a Raider all my life.

I think the tougher the challenge the better.

You have to stay one level above everyone else.

And as a true athlete, mistakes haunt you forever.

We have always had great and loyal fans in Oakland.

The plays I remember are the plays I made a mistake.

You must also give mental and physical fitness priority.

Everyday I walked on to the field I was the best center.

I have seen the Raiders develop into what they are today.

The first game I played. We played against the Dallas Texans.

If something is said about the Raiders, I'm ready to go to war.

You come out hurting all over, and what didn't hurt, didn't work.

I have been a part of this development, so I am very proud of it.

I also played in the 1967 Super Bowl against the Green Bay Packers.

I work here at the Raiders. My position is basically what I make it.

Everyone wants to beat us. So you can never take a single game lightly.

When I hear anything derogatory towards the Raiders, I am definitely hurt.

It was a very exciting time for me to play professional football, finally.

But now there are more concussions due to not being used to the hard hitting.

There is hard hitting, but the hitting is not nearly as hard as it used to be.

It's not that difficult to win. It's more difficult to win consistently and stay on top.

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.

I think Ray Guy and John Madden for sure should be in the Hall of Fame and Cliff Branch should be as well.

I was told in high school that the last game during your senior year stays with you forever, which is true.

The NFL offensive blocking is played differently; they use their hands instead of their head and shoulders.

I liked to play against all the teams in the National Football League or the American Football League, because they were always a challenge.
