awesome golf relationship scared talk talked talking time unless
We had a relationship where when I first got there, I didn't go talk to him unless he talked to me. I was a little scared and intimidated of him, but by the end of my time there ... we were talking all the time. We go play golf all the time now. He's just an awesome person.
supposed
When Jerome fumbled, we were over there talking, saying, 'Well, there must be a reason, because he doesn't fumble. So, somehow, something's supposed to happen.

I've seen fathers criticizing their sons the moment a game's over. Not my dad. It doesn't matter if I threw an interception or a Hail Mary, he always says, 'Good job, son, I'm proud of you.' Then he shakes my hand and gives me a hug. Every time.

group harley highway miles people ride riding sports trying
I don't ride a sport bike. If I'm riding a sport bike and trying to do tricks, and going 200 miles down the highway, that's probably pretty stupid. But when you're riding a Harley or a chopper, and you're riding with a group of people and you're not on the highway and you're cruising, you're relaxing.

I take my life and put it on the football field, and I take the football field and put it in my life.

We will come out and not make the same mistakes that we did (against New England).

Obviously, Tommy can handle this team, ... but I'm going to make sure that I'm out there.

I told Tom that if I was a coach, that?s who I?d want on the field, ... I had all the confidence in the world in our defense and I?d still take our defense next time.
confidence defense next tom
I told Tom (Brady) that if I was a coach, that's who I'd want on the field, ... I had all the confidence in the world in our defense, and I'd still take our defense next time.
It's one of those things where you just go out and hydrate.
bring dwell learn mistakes stayed
It stayed with me for a little while just because you're disappointed with a loss, ... But you don't dwell on it, you don't let it bring you down because you want to get better, and find out how you make mistakes so you can learn from them.
