They talked to me about that issue, and I really remember that. 1986 was the steroid year, and here we are 20 years later and that issue is still alive.
bad couple days few friday god good saying sure thursday weeks
A couple of weeks ago, I had a few bad days in practice. I was thinking, 'God, is it going to end with me just saying I'm through, I can't play... in a Thursday practice?' I just thought, 'I'm sore, I'm tired, I can't make it to Friday.' And sure enough, I come back Friday and have a good day.
care chicken eat fish fresh fruits fry guy happen love loves vitamins wife
Something baked. Chicken or fish or pork. I have to take care of myself, eat like a guy in my 40s -- I just happen to be in football. My wife doesn't fry a lot of food. I love fresh tomatoes, broccoli, corn. My two-year-old loves corn, and I agree. I probably should take vitamins but I don't. I get my vitamins the old-fashioned way -- from fruits and vegetables.

biggest number year
I know the biggest number for me being in this 20th year isn't how big I am, or how many times I've bench-pressed 225. It's that I'm 42 years old.
enjoyed mean smile stamp sure
I'm pretty sure this is it. I'm not going to stamp that in concrete, but I don't think I want to play. I've had enough football. I've enjoyed it. And when I say I've had enough, it doesn't mean I don't like it. I've had enough with a big smile and a lot of happiness, with some pleasurable moments.
charitable family game leave somebody taken time
I'm satisfied, I really am. I leave this game with so much. I've taken so much. Now it's my time to try to give something back to somebody else, to give some time to my family and give some time to some charitable organizations in my community.
add guess moments
I guess I've had a lot of moments to add up to 20 years. I've been pretty fortunate.
