You know what, I've thought about that and it certainly hurts me, and it certainly hurts me, because I was hurt last year, not making it, and it's very important to me, ... But it's more important to me to help my friends, to help my brother, and to try to remove this spirit -- this drug addiction spirit -- out of my family.
When I said 'That belongs to a brother of mine,' I guess he thought maybe he put it in, ... I don't know. I certainly don't want any problems with the police.
Well, if legally it's not a problem, I don't have a problem doing that.
To this day, ... we remain special friends.
You made it something special, ... Most of all, I want to thank the fans for your support not through the great times that we shared on the football field, but for the last 17 years of my life. You have supported me through all times.
I don't see how any African-American, with any inkling of history, can say that you don't have the right to live your life how you want to live your life. No one should be telling you who you should love, no one should be telling you who you should be spending the rest of your life with.

The movie, 'Remember the Titans,' is my favorite movie, staring Denzel Washington. I love the way in this movie the game of football brings those boys together, it unites those boys on that football field. It unites a whole town, black, white, old, young, rich and poor.
I am not a player anymore.
I'm taking T.O., every day... He gives me the whole football field.
I didn't always know, but I always wanted to. I always wanted to be the very best receiver the Cowboys ever had. That was my goal coming in as a rookie and my goal throughout my career: being the best they ever had, going up in the Ring of Honor.
