We're not doing the job, and they are. That's a classy team and a good team. They're beating us right now.
I get paid a lot of money to play a game with the greatest players in the world. What could be better than that?
If it doesn't seem like I'm working hard sometimes, that's someone else's problem.
God, it's nice to be treated like a man.
Having the attitude of just playing the game isn't my strength. I have to be productive. That's my responsibility.
When I retire and I'm back at home with me kids, they're not going to care that I smiled too much on the field. They're not going to care what kind of team player I was.
I honestly think people are tired of reading about me.
