I can't believe I survived, not only my life, but I am still playing football 'cause half of those eight or nine years I don't even remember.
With each game I play, with each season I play, I'm running out of chances... you're never guaranteed next year. You're never guaranteed the next game. You have to seize the opportunity when it's there in front of you.
It's not so much about killing an animal, it's being at peace and you don't have to worry about all the other things that go on. That's a couple of hours a week that you get to escape but it's nice to do that.
As you get older, you look at things differently.
It's been a wonderful career, I couldn't ask for anything more.
I really believe this team has a lot of potential - whether it's this year or in years to come, I don't know.
There was a time when all I cared about was the next game, the next party, the next tee time.
I think the 16 years that I spent in Green Bay speaks for itself.
The way I played the game, the way I live my life, is very emotional.
You're only as good as your last pass.
Well I would say that we're regular people first of all and we're normal and it's obvious by some of the things that have happened just because our name is famous we're not immune to tragedy.
My job is to throw passes and be a leader.
My wife, she still gives me a hard time, and says I hunt too much or I like to play golf too much. And she's probably right, but it sure beats some of the things I used to do.
Well even before she was diagnosed with the cancer, I would have said that she was a lot tougher than me and most guys would probably say that about their wives and it's probably true in most cases.
