On if he ever second-guessed his decision to come back:

“I never second-guessed coming back to the Redskins. There comes a time, I’m going to be 70 years old, and I don’t know how long the Lord’s going to keep me around, but I’ve got two real nice places. I haven’t been to Phoenix in six years, so I’m anxious to see my house out there. I know my wife redecorated, and I know this: in our house we have a casita and there’s a lot of Redskins memorabilia right there, pictures of my guys. So I can go out there and have a little bit of a cocktail and just look at those pictures. I’m going to have fun. I’m going to have some fun right now because my kids live in Phoenix, my youngest daughter lives about two-tenths of a mile away from me, and from door-to-door our house in Phoenix to Coronado is six hours. So we’re going to live the good life. But I’m always going to be a Redskin. I’m waiting for that phone to call and say, ‘Hey Buges why don’t you come back and see a game?’ Thank you Mr. Snyder.”



“I didn’t have any remorse. It was time. You feel in your body, and you get to a point where you say, ‘Hey, maybe it’s time.’ You know that old cliché, ‘I want to spend more time with my family.’ I do. I want to spend some time with my family. My daughters are beautiful. My wife, she’s precious. So I’m going to spend some time with them.”
