You assume we're going overtime. I wasn't down. I was getting ready to go. When I saw (the kick) go wide right, it was incredible.
ask head identity looks physical pittsburgh settle takes team tough type
You ask why have the Pittsburgh Steelers been a physical, smash-mouth type of a team for so long. I think it's because the team takes the identity of its head coach. He looks for tough players. He looks for physical players. And he doesn't settle for anything less.
ask believe believes block everybody gets job party shame skate spoke sure
You ask us to tell you something, and when we kind of skate around the truth, that's accepted. But when we tell you what we believe to be the truth, I think we've been criticized. So it's a shame that he spoke out on what he believes and he's being criticized. What Stevens said is what he believes. Their job is to make sure it's not a big block party after the game. Our job is to make sure everybody gets a ticket.
beating bowling good major maybe mother smart street time
Bowling was my first love. Beating my mother for the first time when I was 13 or 14 was a major accomplishment. I had big glasses. I was a pretty smart kid, maybe nerdy, but I always had a good street sense.

Because I'm in the game, it gives me a medium to really talk about Detroit. I think it's great. If I'm the ambassador, I'm willing to carry that flag because I love the city.

What Stevens said is true; their job is to make sure it's not a big block party after the game. Our job is to make sure everybody gets a ticket.

Maybe they're just laying low. But you'd better believe when Monday night comes they're going to be ready. This is the biggest rivalry in our division, and they'll be ready and we'll be ready.

Maybe I can pick it back up again -- if and when I retire.
capable fun impressed knew last pound running week year
I was impressed a little last year and I was really impressed in Week 1 of how well he was running inside. From that aspect, yeah, I knew he was capable of it, but to see him really, really pound it in there was fun to see.
care supposed
I was fortunate. I'm supposed to take care of the football. That's my job. I fumbled the football; that's a no-no, that's something you can't do.
asthma kids
So many kids have asthma and think they can't do it.

Nobody expected us to win, nobody was picking us to win. That's fine ... as long as we believed.
