When you're on the road, there's no time for second chances and messing yourself up.
For me, you've got to play football first. We're not trying to be accountants. The money takes care of itself. That's kind of how I think anyway.
We don't just want to win the Super Bowl, we want to make a dynasty. I want to be a player who makes that a reality.
I think there will be more smiles when the smoke clears.
We're just a team. Every week, somebody goes down and somebody steps up. We're willing to pick up our fallen brother. That's just how it is.
We're just a team, and that's the greatest compliment that you can give.
We're used to having to play in very, very tough climates. That's just part of the game. And we like wearing our dark uniforms better. It makes us feel like we're at home.
We have a lot in common and we do definitely resemble each other and definitely do all sound a little alike, but I'm definitely the tallest, better looking of the three. It's a curse that I have on my triplet brothers.
We were all talking and cracking jokes, then all of a sudden there's a big bang. We all got tossed around inside a little bit. It was a little of a wakeup call for all of us.
Y'all see what I see. Dead bodies laying around, and I get to step over them. They love hitting people.
Through generations, they taught me that it's OK to be black and confident, black and loving, and to be black and a leader.
I already got it, that's how it feels. It could be mine by itself, but I don't think too much about it.
He is always going to find a way to laugh and enjoy himself. But it's one of those things, it comes off balanced. He knows when to get serious and he knows when to laugh.
He looked like he got in a fight with me. I sat around and cracked every joke I could that I had, to make him laugh ... It was tough, but he's going to be good. He's strong. I was more emotional than he was. He's going to be fine.
