Ben Davidson Quotations

What went through my mind was, maybe I can break Lenny Dawson's ribs and he won't be able to play next week. Maybe they'll lose and we'll be back in first place.

He'd come up to the ball for the first play and say, 'Hi, Ben.' I'd say, 'Hi, Jim.' Then we bent down and went at it, ... After the game, we'd shake hands and say, 'See you in a couple of weeks.'

Those were my favorite games. I always likened them to a heavyweight fight. You knew you were going to get beat up, but it was fun. We needed the Chiefs. We wouldn't have been as good without them.

I never looked at it that way. I didn't play high school football, so I had a late start. I was young, too. I came out of high school when I was just 16, out of college when I was 20.
