Until power is hooked back up, until there are places where you can go get gas and you can go get something to eat, I'm better off being here.
I, most talented players don't always succeed. Some don't even make the team. It's more what's inside.
In the NFL a lot of times everyone gets caught up in the business side of things. For them it's all about money and it really leaves a sour taste in your mouth.
You can lose a game but, I see guys every week including myself, you lose a game, it's a tough loss, you're down, two weeks later you forgot about it. You know it's amazing how down you were, but all of the sudden you're like it never happened.
It's been six years since I have had a drink and I have two girls, and my priorities are a lot different now and I just can't believe I was that guy. And I would not go back, I would not trade the way I am now for anything.
I grew up a Saints fan, an hour from the Superdome.
My job is to throw passes and be a leader.
It's been a wonderful career, I couldn't ask for anything more.
I never thought I would see it. I’m not saying it’s not possible. I’m not saying it didn’t happen. I don’t know. There’s a lot of guys getting picked on (in the locker room). Some handle it well, some don’t handle it as well. I’m not saying it’s right, and from a locker room sense or from a team sense, I’m not saying it’s wrong. It’s just the way it is.
I've always been a Packer, always will be a Packer.
My mom, two brothers, their families, my grandmother, my aunt and my uncle are all in a like a 25-square foot house with no power and a tree on top of it,
Mike had his mind made up Saturday, but we didn't know until Sunday. Until I went out there and took the first snap, you don't know. I might have just gone, 'I can't do it.' Once the newness wears off and the toughness wears off, 'I just can't do it.' And I was probably as immobile as I've ever been. I couldn't do anything.
I don't think there's any substitute for experience, because experience sometimes is better than talent. But if you're unsure of what guys can do, there's only one way to find out and that's play for real and see.
In my gut, I feel like they're OK, but with each minute that passes, I begin to wonder. This is one of those situations where I would love to do whatever I could to help a lot of people, but I don't even know where to start.
