born conversation okay
I don't feel old. Okay, maybe I do when I get in a conversation with Earl Thomas, who was born in 1989.
senior brother growing-up
Growing up in Boston, I was always Matt, Son of Former New England Patriot Don. And then when my brother Tim was a senior in high school, I became Matt, Brother of Tim.
hard-work reality work-harder
Reality is, you have to work harder the older you get.
running couple dirty
Politics can be very mean and dirty. The things politicians say about each other, and what activists say, I had a brief glimpse of that for a couple of days. If I ever had any questions about whether I wanted to run for office, I now know the answer - I don't.
balls want score
We want the ball, and we’re going to score
play frustrated trying
When you get frustrated you try to do too much, you try to make stuff up that's not there, and you play outside yourself.
team father people
The Seahawks have only been around since 1976, so our fan base is relatively young. You talk about the Patriots, or the Celtics or, obviously, Red Sox and Bruins. Your grandfather's father was a fan of that team. People have lived there their whole lives.
jesus like-you neighbor
Serve your neighbors (like your next-door neighbors). It's a good way to get to know them better and show them what Jesus is about.
motivational sports adversity
We had a lot of adversity, but we found a way.
country team talking
I'm taking (the training) a little more seriously than I normally would to speed up the process. I don't care if people say I was a surprise pick. I feel like it's an honor and the people who made the decision to put me on the team know what they are talking about. To play for your country is something you can hold on to the rest of your life.
grateful men thinking
I had some tough times. Now that I look back on it, I'm very grateful for those times. I know now that I needed them. But at the time you think, 'Man, I wish I could just get to the major leagues!'
moving-forward simple want
I want to keep things simple and keep my energy focused on moving forward.
blessed athletic advantage
I feel like I've been blessed with some athletic ability and I'd like to take advantage of it.
college missing bigs
I'm not that big of a partier. I wasn't concerned about missing out on things in college.
