WHO WERE YOUR FAVORITE NFL PLAYERS WHEN YOU WERE GROWING UP? Ahmad Rashad and Sammy White. I was a big Minnesota Vikings fan. Actually, it truly had to be Chuck Foreman, and the whole Minnesota Vikings' offense. I was the only one in my family that rooted for Minnesota.

WHAT IS HAYNESVILLE, LA., LIKE? It's a small, small town, population about 1,500, with one stoplight. The nearest (big) town is Shreveport, probably about an hour away. It's (Haynesville) about five minutes from the Arkansas state line.

TALK ABOUT YOUR BEST MOMENT IN FOOTBALL. Winning the Super Bowl (with Green Bay in 1997). That was a great feeling, going twice (also in 1998), but winning, you know, that's something you learn to appreciate.

WHAT DO YOU THINK OF SEATTLE, THE CITY? It's different for me. This is the first time I've ever been this far west. It's a totally different culture from what I've been around my whole life and what I grew up around. Just the scenery, the people, the whole atmosphere. ... You get a different vibe when you go into the city.

WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN MIKE HOLMGREN TODAY AND HOLMGREN IN GREEN BAY? I think he has settled down a whole lot. In Green Bay, he was one of those guys that, when we were trying to build a dynasty and we finally got there, once you do something like that you kind of know what to do (as a coach). You just let your players do a lot of things, and that's what he's been doing. He's just more laid back.
