3. I played for about five seasons.

It became more troublesome than I imagined and the budget was also tight back then. I was also the only team owner that didn't have computer access and lI only had limited TV access so it put me at a disadvantage having to gather stats and read stories from the Austin newspaper for information. I'm not much of a gambler, but I do know when to walk away. It was not the wagering money that was the only issue as I also grew disinterested since there were relationships and other events that required my attention.

I did make up for bowing out of football a couple of years later when I bought season tickets at Texas Stadium during the season that Emmitt Smith broke the rushing record so I was there seeing NFL history made.
