Super Bowl XXXV Q&A

Giants WR Ron Dixon

Thursday, Jan. 25, 2001

What did you take away from being suspended for the game vs. the Steelers?

"Sitting at home watching my team play, that was more of a wake-up call than taking the check out of my pocket."

How will you ensure that you won’t oversleep and miss the Super Bowl?

"I have people surrounding me – my roommate, my mom, everybody. But it is not necessary now because I have gone through it."

What would it mean to you to make a big play in the Super Bowl?

"It would be something special. I could not have written my life any better because you have to learn from your mistakes. I think I have learned and grown a lot from everything that has happened."

What would the story of your life story be?

"From the toilet bowl to the Super Bowl. The reason is that I used to work in this gas station and that was part of my duties, to work maintenance and I had to make sure the bathroom was clean."

How have some of your difficulties in life and in this season impacted how you are now as a player and a person?

"It helped me appreciate all of this. It is something that I have grown from, working in the gas station and now being in the Super Bowl. It is wonderful. I am living a dream."

This is the Super Bowl, and you are a rookie. Are you intimidated by being on such a big stage?

"When I am on the stage, I am at my best. I like to be on center stage."
