Country music. I’m from Stillwater. It’s a small, country-like town, and I like my country music. I watch “Parenthood.” I watch ESPN, and I watch “Gas Monkey Garage.” “Seven Habits of a Successful Family.” I like learning. When I read, I like to learn. “The Internship.” I love comedies.
Flying model airplanes. I started when I was probably 15 years old. I just like the challenge. I’d like to meet Joe Namath. I love his confidence. Hawaii. I want to learn how to surf.
My mother’s pasta. You don’t mess with that. That was it. A TV, a microwave and a cow.
The Travers in Saratoga Springs. Any of them. I live right there. I would eliminate sleeves … actually, I would eliminate all extra clothing except for the original game-day outfit. Even my guys are wearing those things now. My wife is a better athlete than I am. When she was in high school, she was voted the best athlete in her class.What type of music do you listen to?
