2:20Did I read correctly that when Michael proposed, you had a negative reaction initially?
8:06When a player wins the Super Bowl, the first thing you see on camera is what?
Well, I had an excuse because in my day, there was a thing called being pinned, like being engaged in college. Kind of silly. And I was pinned to a girl who then spent her junior year in Germany. And I sent her a Christmas present when she was back in Ohio. And I never heard from her. And I called her up and her mother said, 'Oh, Michael, I have to tell you, she just got married.' And I went to a party that a friend of mine who I grew up with was giving and I sat on a couch in the den. Jane was sitting on the floor with a bunch of people. And then I told the entire room my life story with this girl and how she dumped me. And then the next day I asked Jane out to dinner and you said no. So she turned me down almost as many times as I turned you down.
Well, I remember going to the theater. Finally, she said yes. I was so upset or concerned, and my sister and her fiancé were sitting in like the 12th row and we pushed our way in to sit. And then I attempted to introduce Jane to my sister, couldn't remember her name. Jane was a tough name to remember. I was so crazed that didn't help.
It was just that at that point I wasn't ready. But I clearly knew I was in love with Michael and that was something that was to be grown. But it just was timing.
