The Watergate scandal was massive‚ but I don’t feel that it is the worst in history‚ although it would appear that way in the eyes of others.

I was running with the ball at my feet‚ my arms and knees where heavy from all the training I had been doing‚ but I felt good. I knew I was going to make a good play.
