It wasn’t enough that I had to worry about playing well and winning the game, but I also had to deal with possibility that one of my teammates could be dragged off the field by the inhabitants of the mental hospital.

About This Quote

There was something that I had to worry about that no one else had to worry about. The team I played for was not your typical team. We were not the team that won the Super Bowl every year. We were the team that lost the Super Bowl every year.

That’s how bad our season was. But, what drove me crazy was the fact that my teammates, who were normally cheery and happy, now kept to themselves during practice or on game days. They would talk to each other in hushed tones about the fact that they could go into a mental hospital at any time.

The day before a game, we would gather in our locker room and pray for good luck. It was almost as if the entire team were scared of something or someone unseen.
