“Football, I thought, would be a tough sport to make a living in. There...” — Ryne Sandberg Quote

Football, I thought, would be a tough sport to make a living in. There is no minor league. You either make it to the NFL or you don't.

I don't expect any red carpet to the big leagues. If the opportunity comes, then it comes. But I don't think I'm owed anything.

The fourth major league game I ever saw in person, I was in uniform.

If you played the game the right way, played the game for the team, good things would happen.

I had too much respect for the game to leave it behind or to make it my second or third sport in college.

If I've got one thing that I really believe about fiction and life, it's that there are no minor characters.

Minor writers think style is all.

I would really love to go back to college, if there's any way I could to do it, and maybe minor in business.

When I wrote 'Minor' it was definitely in the middle of a break-up and feeling like it was what I needed to write about.

The same song can have drastically different feels and personalities just by changing some minor things. A different drumbeat or some vocal overdub could completely transform the song.
