Do you like playing sports or watching them on tv?
I prefer playing, but until my doctor clears me to play, I have to settle for TV.
What's your favorite sport to play?
Basketball. Golf is a close second.
Which sport would you prefer to watch?
Football.
Do you play in a league, for fun, or both?
League until I left my full-time job. I'm going to get back to it when I get back to NY.
Have you ever injured yourself playing any sports?
That's how I hurt my back, which is why I am out right now (or as Al Michaels would say, "he's out with a back"). Along with a broken wrist in 2001 and a few other nicks and bumps that come with sports.
Do you prefer contact sports or non-contact sports?
Contact. Pause.
Have you ever been to a professional sport event?
Tons. But none since earlier this year. We need to fix this.

Yes.
Who has the coolest jerseys?
San Diego Super Chargers Powder Blue.

Yes, but not out of control like Mike Jordan was.
How often do you play any kind of sport?
When healthy, almost daily.
Who is your favorite athlete?
Right now, Kobe Bryant.
Who is your favorite retired player?
Mike Jordan.
Have you ever wanted to go pro?
Not really. I prefer to be the one who OWNS things, so I'd rather spend time learning how to do that, than to be some team owner's SLAVE.
What was your favorite super bowl?
Super Bowls XXI, XXV and XLII. Need you ask?
Did you play more sports as a kid or now?
It's the same (save for my current injury status which is "doubtful" on the injury chart).
What sport do you wish you had played on a team?
Football. The only reason I didn't was because of my illness in high school. I had the coaches salivating (pause) at the thought of starting me at WR (Smith had sucky WRs, but even if they were great, I could've started). I had 4.38 speed in the 40 (still 4.4 when healthy) and also, because I idolized Deion Sanders growing up, I played cornerback very well. No jokes, ask Coaches Ratliff and Porter from Smith.
Which sport do you think you are the best at?
Basketball now. My jumpshot is legendary around the pickup circuit in Greensboro hah. Also at Tillery (Bklyn) and GOAT 99th/Amsterdam (UWS) where I used to play.

Tennis.
