Howard Up Close
The best advice I've ever received is: "Tie your shoes."
If I lost all my possessions except one, I'd want to keep: my toothpaste
My craziest ambition is: be an Ironman triathlete (yeah, right!)
If I could change any rule in college football, it would be: makes tackles eligible for passes all the time
My ambition after football is to: open a sports bar after I retire from a successful firm as a millionaire
