Q: Would you rather have a Super Bowl ring or a Hall of Fame bust, and why?
A: Super Bowl ring, for sure. That's what you play this game for. You want to win the big one. I'm still mad we lost the high school state championship game [in Oklahoma].
Q: Did you have a childhood fear?
A: I'm definitely afraid of heights. My wife and I, we always laugh about it because when we go to the fun park, she knows there are rides that I won't ride. She takes the kids on the big ones. I hate heights.
Q: You told the Ravens Web site that you took part in "noodling." What is that?
A: You catch catfish with your hands. You go into holes and catch them either through the gills or through the mouth and pull them out. It's big in Oklahoma. I did it a couple times in high school. It's difficult, but it's fun.
Q: Do you have any pre-game superstitions or rituals?
A: I go through the same ritual. I always get my baked potato before the game, my pre-game meal is the same, the way I get taped. Repetition is calming. Nothing changes.
