Because CoEd's doing incredible work in Guatemala so how can I not #tieoneon?
I found out that changing the perception of myself and the NFL, and reestablishing the notion of being a gentleman was important to me.
Football is one side of me. Art is another. Travel is another.
When it all boils down, its about embracing each others stories and maybe even finding that synergy to collaborate for the common good.
Doing things out of the ordinary - out of the box - like jumping out of airplanes and landing in cities that you've never been to before, then finding your way through. That's the type of trip that excites me.
I like a basic uniform for guys. Steve Jobs is my fashion icon, because he wears the same outfit every day. If you always wear the same thing, you make a statement. Then put a bow tie on and really stand out.
when I was younger I used to wrestle, and I feel that it contributed to my athletic ability because as a wrestler you have to be an all-encompassed athlete. You need stamina, strength, endurance and mental capacity. You also have to learn how to adapt in any situation. In the book, that's how all the sports helped me in my strategies for football and life.
We all have personalities, but in football a lot of times you don't talk about that because you want to focus more on the grit and grind of the season, instead of people's personal styles or worldly habits.
I always have a positive reaction to Times Square - you've got so many people passing through here, so many cultures, and so many people merging into the central community of New York City. This is the hub of America.
Human survival is something that you can't see in another person; you can see if someone has that will to survive or that will to win; you can't see that, you can only watch that evolve over time.
I started rockin' the BowTie when I was a rookie with the New York Giants.
Louis Armstrong's 'What a Wonderful World' is my ultimate karaoke song. It is a wonderful world. People forget we only have a certain amount of time, and it can all end at any moment. Armstrong and Frank Sinatra's 'My Way' are the ultimate one-two punch.
There's nothing better than live music. It's raw energy, and raw energy feeds the soul.
We had 10 girls in black dresses walking around with bow ties on. Guerrilla marketing.
