I do an hour of cardio every day without fail, and I lift on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday.
The fact that we are watching a live ‘Monday Night Raw’ every week is due to ‘Nitro.’
When it comes to the live events, you get to see great Diva matches you don’t see on ‘Monday Night Raw.’
I’m not into ‘Let’s go out with one guy on a Monday and another guy on a Wednesday’ – that’s just not me. I’m a relationship kind of girl. I like a twosome. Some people get excited about being single. I don’t.
The dog doesn’t know the difference between Saturday, Sunday, and Monday, so I have to walk the dog early those days too.
But if I wasn’t playing, I would drink Saturdays, then Sunday, then Monday. Then I would try and train and it was no good, then have another drink just to pass the day away.
Obviously, ESPN, that Monday Night gig is a big deal. You don’t just easily dismiss that.
I had my life Monday through Friday in school, and then I had my ‘real life,’ which was my acting class on Saturday.
I won’t miss Monday morning rehearsals in a freezing studio at 8 A.M. I will happily never do that again.
People tell me if I don’t eat vegetables, I’m going to get scurvy. Well, what the hell. But I was never overweight as a player. There was a clause in my contract that said I had to weigh in at 270 every Friday morning. I always made it. I’d have dinner on Monday, and then I wouldn’t eat until Friday.
On Saturday, I was a surgeon in South Africa, very little known. On Monday, I was world renowned.
You know, I used to say, when people say, ‘How do you think about what to write about in the poems every week?’ And I say, ‘Well, I have to turn it in on Monday, so on Sunday nights I turn the shower to iambic pentameter and it sort of works out that way.’
I grew up watching my dad scout games live. They played on Saturday. Sometimes they wouldn’t get the films until Monday. Sunday air shipping from wherever the college team was located – Starkville, Mississippi, or wherever the film was coming from. It took two days.
I’m not into ‘Let’s go out with one guy on a Monday and another guy on a Wednesday’ – that’s just not me.
I mean, I guess I started during the comedy boom, so it was literally like, on Sunday you could decide you wanted to be a comic, and on Monday, you could be on stage.
The game is not won by a pep talk on Saturday. It’s won by preparation of your club from Monday until game time. If they’re not ready on Saturday, you’re not going to get them ready by trying to inspire them with a dog-eat-dog sermon on that day.
If someone complains about Europe from Monday to Saturday, then nobody is going to believe him on Sunday when he says he is a convinced European.
For me, the pinnacle of everything was to be on ‘Monday Night Raw.’
To this day, while maintaining a healthy respect for the Giants and Jets and other teams I cover, I admit to checking the results every Monday to see how the Bears did.
On Monday and Thursday, I eat fewer than 500 calories a day; then I eat like a pig for the other five days. You ‘surprise’ the body: keep it guessing. I got the idea from a BBC documentary about this Indian man who seemed about 138 years old and said his secret was severe calorie restriction.
I work on a musician’s week, so Monday is Friday. By the time Thursday rolls around, you stay in, and you work, and you don’t go out because it’s horrible.
Sitcoms are more like stage drama than anything else on film – more than a one-hour and certainly more than a movie. You get a script on Monday. You rehearse all week. And on Friday, you’re on.
In terms of my wife, she obviously is a Monday nighter and doing very well. I watch her, I watch when she’s on, and kinda give her feedback when she asks for it and she’ll watch when I am on and she’ll kinda give me feedback of what she thought was good and bad.
The thing that stood out above and beyond all the experiences was this relationship with the nine-month-old baby. On weekends, I’d be thinking about going back to set on Monday just to see the baby.
‘Monday Night Raw’ has been a huge part of my life, and when you think about it, I mean, life imitated art. That is how I met my husband.
The meshing of the brands is great. I think it brings excitement. It brings anticipation of not knowing who’s going to be on ‘Monday Night Raw’ or on ‘Tuesday Night SmackDown’ so I think it’s really awesome.
On average, you will pay less for a home on a Monday than you will on a Saturday and a Sunday.
I like a good burger as much as the next girl, but sometimes, I say hold the beef. In fact, every week, I do Meatless Monday to feel a little healthier.

Well, I had started a program which is even longer running than this one in 1967 which was a jazz program called The Best of Jazz and that still goes out on Monday nights. That’s been going for 33 years or something.
Mexicans work so hard. Jamaicans are like, ‘Hey mon. Take it easy. You work too ‘ard.’ Sneak into the country Sunday night, working Monday morning.
I’ve probably done 1,000 interviews about the ‘Monday Night Wars’ and how ‘Nitro’ was made.
Monday to Fridays I’m practically an athlete every hour of the day.
‘Monday Night Football’ is a competitor to ‘Monday Night Raw.’
I love football. My weekends are booked. Saturday college games and Sunday NFL and ‘Monday Night Football.’ Booked! Football is first, then basketball and then everything else.
On Monday mornings I am dedicated to the proposition that all men are created jerks.
Telling someone you have a web series is the same thing as telling someone, ‘On Monday, I start work at Chipotle.’
I also hate those holidays that fall on a Monday where you don’t get mail, those fake holidays like Columbus Day. What did Christopher Columbus do, discover America? If he hadn’t, somebody else would have and we’d still be here. Big deal.
When you think about the impact and the legacy that ‘Monday Night Raw’ has had on the media, entertainment, and sports worlds, it’s significant.
In middle school, I had a teacher who regularly reminded students of the Monday night Young Life meetings he sponsored; on Tuesdays, he’d spend the first few minutes of class palling around with the chosen ones about all the fun and fellowship they’d experienced together.
We didn’t roll credits after ‘Monday Night Raw.’ You know, it didn’t say, ‘Stone Cold Steve Austin played by Steve Austin,’ so all of a sudden people think that’s who and what you are 24/7, you know, 365 days a year.
The sanctity of prayer is needed to impregnate business. We need the spirit of Sunday carried over to Monday and continued until Saturday. But this cannot be done by prayerless men, but by men of prayer.
Monday is great if I can spend it in bed. I’m a man of simple pleasures, really.
As CEO, I had a standing 30-minute meeting every Monday to greet and connect with new hires.
Coaching was always intriguing to me as a kid. Watching ‘Monday Night Football’ with my dad and hearing him talk through the game management and watching the Tom Landrys and Don Shulas on the sideline was more intriguing to me than watching Troy Aikman or Dan Marino throw the ball.
Growing up on the plantation there in Mississippi, I would work Monday through Saturday noon. I’d go to town on Saturday afternoons, sit on the street corner, and I’d sing and play.
My creative process is a bit manic at times, to be honest. I wake up Monday and Thursday stressed because I don’t have a video. I usually – with the exception of maybe a handful of videos – wake up, write the video, shoot the video, edit the video, release the video all in the same day.
I lived for going down the rabbit hole of meeting weird people. Of course, come Monday I would be tallying up all the different situations, and each one was progressively more dangerous. I got lucky in that I didn’t go to jail.
I don’t miss the limelight, not at all. I’m just more comfortable out of it. I don’t miss ‘Monday Night Football.’ I just don’t miss it. I’m lucky. When I stopped playing, I didn’t miss it. I feel blessed that it’s not been a problem. I have great memories. I feel really lucky.
You don’t want to have to come into work on Monday already apologizing. I try to save my apologies for what I’ve done later in the week.
I owed Lewis one thing, at least. Once you had suffered the experience of presenting a case at one of his Monday morning conferences, no other public appearance, whether on radio, TV or the lecture platform, could hold any terrors for you.
I obviously take a lot of pride in what I do on the football field, because that has the ability to influence a lot of people. That puts smiles on people’s faces. That gives people a pep in their step on Monday morning when they go back to work.
So while most people dealt with the scale every Monday at the Berea training facility nervous about how high the number was going to be, I was the one that was nervous about how low the number was going to be.
Let’s face it: when we were crazy into wrestling, there were 20 million people on Monday nights watching wrestling. So what you have are 17 million lagged wrestling fans. People who connect to it somewhere, but haven’t really found an inspiration or a cultural connection to it.
