More From Roger Goodell

Almost all good writing begins with terrible first efforts. you need to start somewhere. start by getting something-anything-down on paper. a friend of mine says that the first draft is the down draft-you just get it down. the second draft is the up draft-you fix it up. you try to say what you have to say more accurately. and the third draft is the dental draft, where you check every tooth, to see if it's loose or cramped or decayed, or even, god help us, healthy.
Writing Effort Healthy
I am a technophile, so there is no such thing as a first draft. the first draft plunges on, and about a quarter of the way through it i realise i'm doing things wrong, so i start rewriting it. what you call the first draft becomes rather like a caterpillar; it is progressing fairly slowly, but there is movement up and down its whole length, the whole story is being changed. i call this draft zero, telling myself how the story is supposed to go.
Zero Progress Stories
First draft: let it run. turn all the knobs up to 11. second draft: hell. cut it down and cut it into shape. third draft: comb its nose and blow its hair. i usually find that most of the book will have handed itself to me on that first draft.
Running Book Cutting
Making it to the nfl is a huge accomplishment. making it in the nfl is a huge accomplishment, but i haven't done that yet. no matter how many games we've played, it's still hard to figure out when you've made it in the nfl.
Nfl Games Accomplishment
When my tv show, 'sports jobs with junior seau,' assigned me to be a 'sports illustrated' reporter for a weekend, i didn't realize i'd have to squeeze it in around another sports job. i had planned to retire from the nfl to enjoy the cushy lifestyle of a full-time reality tv star, but i wound up getting run over by a bull.
Sports Running Jobs
It can take years. with the first draft, i just write everything. with the second draft, it becomes so depressing for me, because i realize that i was fooled into thinking i'd written the story. i hadn't-i had just typed for a long time. so then i have to carve out a story from the 25 or so pages. it's in there somewhere-but i have to find it. i'll then write a third, fourth, and fifth draft, and so on.

Similar Quotes
Maybe it's a little depressing to think that my vision of a perfect world is actually so messed up, but i think it means that i don't really understand what 'perfect' is.
Depressing Mean Thinking
When you say 'failure,' that seems really dramatic, but a lot of failure is just really depressing and mundane. i remember the first time i ever played a concert in italy. i played a venue that held 900 people, and i think five people showed up. it wasn't a big, 'john carter of mars' type failure. it wasn't dramatic; it was just depressing.
Depressing Thinking People
Though a censure lies against those who are poor and proud, yet is pride sooner to be forgiven in a poor person than in a rich one; since in the latter it is insult and arrogance; in the former, it may be a defense against temptations to dishonesty; and, if manifested on proper occasions, may indicate a natural bravery of mind, which the frowns of fortune cannot depress.

You know what is a nice thought? retirement.
