danny guys people second super year
Some guys never get to a Super Bowl, and then there are people like Danny Marino who get there in their second year and don't get back.
bowl forty good great might shirt size small super
I think an XL shirt might be a little too small for Jerome, but Super Bowl Forty is a good size for him. It's just a great opportunity.
couple enjoy fun super talked
We talked a couple of times this week. He called me and said, 'Listen, enjoy it and have fun there because you never know if it is going to come back.' He said that he thought he was going to make it back (to the Super Bowl) and he never got to play in it again.
best coming imagine playing super
When you think about the Super Bowl, you imagine yourself coming and playing your best football, and it wasn't that way.
bowl dan enjoy second super trying year
Dan told me he made it to the Super Bowl in his second year in the league, and then never got back. He said to enjoy it and make the most of it, and that's what I am trying to do.
anybody bounce hopefully stronger team
We have to bounce back. If anybody is questioning themselves, they don?t need to be out here. I think this team will bounce back strong, hopefully stronger than ever. We have to; there?s no question.

When you play in the preseason, you don't game-plan. You're playing against yourself, really. I just felt like we were really close to being in sync and being really good.

We love playing for him because of his excitement and the energy that he brings to the table.
We've come a long way as a team.
brain guys last mature patience rely
You have to be mature doing what I do. These guys want to see a leader, not someone immature. I rely on my brain a little more than last year. It's a patience thing.
I ride a Harley and a chopper. Those are the two bikes I ride the most.
dad fathers gives good hail hand matter moment proud seen shakes sons threw time
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.
I've always been big into snowmobiles, four-wheelers, jet skis, all kinds of those X Games kind of things.
fuel hard helped high learned played receiver ultimately until wide
There will always be hard times. Use adversity to fuel your fire. In high school, I wanted to play quarterback but couldn't until I was a senior. I played wide receiver instead, and this ultimately helped me because I learned more about the game.
