TRADING E-MAIL WITH...
Bucs wideout Keyshawn Johnson

SI: How did you get to be one of the most confident people on earth?

Johnson: If you don't have confidence in yourself, who will? I've got the confidence because everything that I've ever done, I relied on myself—and I've achieved most of what I've set out to do.

SI: Worst thing about life in the NFL?

Johnson: Dealing with idiots who don't understand the way the game is played.

SI: Best advice you ever got from Bill Parcells?

Johnson: Don't pay attention to idiots.

SI: Does Jon Gruden throw you the damn ball enough?

Johnson: Every coach I've ever had has thrown me the ball enough—just not always at the right time.

SI: Will you ever play football in New York again?
