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.
As you get older, you look at things differently.
You're only as good as your last pass.
Every day is not perfect. You have your bad days and good days just like anyone else. You do not want to talk to people sometimes. It is normal.
You know, I've had my ups and downs.
My intention... isn't to create controversy.
I didn't know what to expect coming into this year. There were a lot of question marks, and I think that's obvious now. Can we overcome it? Time will tell.
God, he deals you blows that at sometimes you think you can't handle and in the last year there have been things that we thought we couldn't handle but we've dealt with it up until this point.
Maybe I'm old-school, but I always thought you honor a contract.
In this case, I realize that, unlike when I was 22 years old, I realize now that football will not go on forever, it is a small part of your life.
Well family is obviously the most important. There was a time when I thought football was the most important.
Because after my first year I had a lot of success, took everybody by storm, came back the next year thought it was easy and didn't have near the season I had the previous year. It was kind of a wake-up call. And so, life goes on.
I don't need to have a retirement, retire your jersey, all that stuff to solidify my career.
We have to get something going and have a short time to get there, ... I couldn't go out like that. If you're going to go back in, do something good.
