Ernie Davis:"[last] Thing is: I don't know how much more is in front of me, and as you see from the number of pages if you've read this far, I did have a few things to say and I'm not sure how to end this, or even if I want to. It's funny. Most people think my life has been all about football. I've even thought that myself. But football is just a game. What matters is what you play for. Sometimes when the game is close and everything is on the line, that's when you forget the crowd and the noise."
[⋯]:"That's when it's just you against somebody else to see who is the better man. That's what I like about the game. Because at that moment: You are friends; and You are enemies; and You are brothers."
