As a kid, what did you like most about summer vacation and why?

Being able to play with my friends, riding bikes and playing hoops. Just being out of school.

Did you like amusement parks or swimming pools? What did you like most about it?

Swimming pools. I liked going off the high dives. I like the heights.

Did you play summer sports?

We played basketball and football just pickup. When I was real young I played soccer and was the best goalie around.

What is your favorite place to go for a summer vacation now and why?

New Zealand. My wife and I went there for our honeymoon and it was incredible. We went there and Fiji.

Where are you going this summer for vacation?

Not really. I am just concentrating on the season coming up. I am going to go home and spend some time with the family.

In the summertime are you laid back or stay on the go?

On the go. I can’t wait to get back and unpack my suitcase and relax a little bit. It’s always on the go.

Are video games a must have or a no thanks?

It’s not a must have. I have an X-Box but don’t play it that much. We play it in training camp more than anything. I got it so I can practice and get ready for training camp. What is one of the last movies that you saw? Thumbs up or thumbs down?

I went to some girlie movie with my wife and I would give it a thumbs down. I don’t even remember the name of it. It was something like Fluffy meets Buffy. It was thumbs down for sure.

What is your favorite all-time movie and why?

When I was younger I loved Tommy Boy. I loved the comedy and Chris Farley. I don’t know if that’s my all-time though. My all-time might be Cool Hand Luke.

What is your favorite CD in your car right now?

Pearl Jam.

Who is one athlete - past or present - that you would pay to see play a sport?

Michael Jordan.
