No one can go in, ... No one can come out. There's no cell phones working. There's no land phones working. Half the county is under water, from what I understand. . . . In my gut, I feel like they're okay. But with each minute that passes, I begin to wonder. . . . This is one of those situations where I would love to do whatever I could to help . . . but I don't even know where to start. It's tough to focus on anything right now because I'm very concerned.
We obviously have a ways to go offensively. But if you would've told me we would score three points, I would've said you were crazy.
To think that the water would rise up to the level of the house is just beyond my belief. To even think that it could get 8 feet up into that house is even more amazing,
Without watching him that much or being over there, I don't know what all their problems are, but I'm sure he's pressing a lot.
Next thing they know, water is on top of them, ... My older brother, Scott, and our friend, Clark, were swimming in the house trying to get the kids. My brother, Jeff, has three kids. He was trying to get them up in the attic.
Donating money obviously would help a lot of people,
You think you have money or people know who you are but at times like this it doesn't matter,
It was nice to get this win, birthday or not. There's days when I wake up now, when I say, 'This is going to be a rough one.' You just have to fight through the pain.
I've found myself over the last 24 hours a couple times saying, 'Why me?' or, 'Why of all places ...' ... As quickly as that thought pops in my head ? and it probably pops in my head more than I'd like it to ? I try to remind myself of the things to be thankful for, which there are a lot.
That first year I won it, I never thought about it. I'm sure most guys in this locker room consider themselves pretty good, at least to themselves when they go home or whatever. I knew what I was doing was special, but to be the best football player in the world, I don't know if that ever really crossed my mind.
We're always trying to find ways to lower interceptions and stuff. My nature, I'm aggressive. I'll take shots, I'll take chances; therefore, you have mistakes,
But when you lose a family member or something tragic happens, that stays with you forever. You never get over it. Knowing that you have to deal with that for the rest of your life... Football is important, but not as important as you once thought it was.
In the NFL a lot of times everyone gets caught up in the business side of things. For them it's all about money and it really leaves a sour taste in your mouth.
You can lose a game but, I see guys every week including myself, you lose a game, it's a tough loss, you're down, two weeks later you forgot about it. You know it's amazing how down you were, but all of the sudden you're like it never happened.
