I think I miss the locker room. I miss the fact that for every week, I'm working with guys and we have an objective that we're trying to achieve, and we're working hard to try and achieve it.
That kind of thing. It's like, a lot of people don't realize that playing professional football is a job and it's a unique kind of job because you really get close to the people…Your job is about interaction with other guys and figuring things out and making them work. So, I think that is probably the thing I miss most.
For the last maybe something years, I've been in the financial services industry. Primarily, on the insurance side of setting up supplemental retirement plans for guys, for individuals.
I do all types of insurance — business, personal, everything on the insurance side. That's pretty much what I've done since I retired. I did some other things that were not really lasting….
I like to golf. I like to try to golf [at least]. I think it's one of the last physical activities that I can probably do. I was always athletic and always competitive, so I like that. I do like when I have a chance, I like to play games like cards — any kind of games. Even if I don't know what they are, tell me the rules and I'll figure out what it is and then I like to compete.
I do have two grandkids. A two, almost three-year-old, granddaughter and I have a six-month-old grandson. I just left them actually. They met us. They live in Houston and we live in Daphne [Alabama] and we met halfway. We kept the kids for a week and then the day that they were coming in, is the day that I was coming up here. So, they're going back to Houston now, but we'll see them again at the end of the month.
What about the helmets? Do you like the standing buffalo or charging buffalo? So how you get to that destination, really depends on life. Sometimes it's easy, [a] straight shot. You know, just like guys [in the NFL]. If your goal is to get to the NFL, I got drafted right away, boom, but there are a lot of guys that don't get drafted. They have to work out…but they do all this but if that's your goal, you can still [make it happen].
I don't really use it as a sports thing. It's more of a life thing because I'm telling my kids, 'Look you need to set goals. If you want to be governor, or like my daughter, if you want to be dean of a school and you know, many roads lead to [that goal].
Just because you get blocked over here, doesn't mean it ends. Just take a step back and try this side. You may end up going all around the world to get to that same destination that you could've went straight to, but it just didn't work out that way. All three of them played sports. My daughter was a volleyball player…she got a volleyball scholarship. So, she played volleyball in college, but she played all the sports in high school.
And then, my oldest son played football and track and he played a little while [at] a Division III school. He played football in college for a little while, but he didn't like it and it didn't work out.
My youngest son, [is a] great athlete [and is] a lot like me. Anything he wanted to do, he could do it pretty much. But he didn't like football. Even though he played on two runner-up state football championship teams in high school, he decided to go to college on a track scholarship. So, that's my kids athletically. None of them played professionally…They were athletically inclined because of me and expectations that may have been placed on them because of me, but my daughter is a college professor.
She's a math teacher. My oldest son is a restaurant manager in Birmingham and is getting married next year. My youngest son just graduated from UAB with his masters in math and probably at some point in time [is] going to start working on his PhD. He's really smart, but really athletic. I mean athletics are great, but many roads lead to the same destination…I'm really proud of my kids. If you could go back in time or travel to the future, which would you choose and why?
I would definitely go back in time. That would be great to do that. I get asked today, I was asked on an interview earlier, well I wasn't really asked but they were talking about that I played in the USFL, which was kind of in the middle of my NFL career. I left and went to play in the USFL — a start up league. I played over there for a few years and then came back. When that league started, I thought it was going to last forever.
I thought it was going to be successful and last forever. If I knew that it wasn't, maybe I wouldn't have gone. So, that's what I'm saying.
If I had the ability to go back in time, correct everything that I perceive now to maybe have been a mistake, I would change that. If you could pick anyone throughout history to have dinner with, who would you pick? I hate reality TV. According to Astrologers, Joe Cribbs's zodiac sign is Capricorn.
