I'm feeling good now, as good as I have in two months.
To be able to have that self-respect for yourself and just that feeling of, OK, I did what I could, just stay true to yourself.If you feel that this is something that's valid and you should go out there and win, then push through it no matter what the outcome is. Just know that nine times out of 10 that no matter whether you were right or you were wrong, the NFL is a business.
It's something to build on for next year.
To be honest, I'm kind of shocked. They just threw a monkey up in here or something like that.
A couple of those games we lost, we shouldn't have. Cleveland, Washington . . .
Sometimes I sit back and think, 'Is this really happening?'
I would sacrifice 1,000 yards rushing to win a Super Bowl. But I want to be the first back to have back-to-back 2,000-yard seasons.
I'm all into my rap grooves. I'm checking out artists like Lil' Wayne and Trick Daddy.
I've been running like this since I was seven.
When I go out on the field, I just put it in my mind that I'm playing for my family.
I definitely run up right, and I've got pretty good speed.
I can catch the ball. You've got to throw it to me.
I know that many people disagree with the way I disciplined my child. I also understand after meeting with a psychologist that there are other alternative ways of disciplining a child that may be more appropriate.
People say I'm injury-prone but that's definitely not true.
