I've been pretty fortunate.
In my gut, I feel like they're OK, 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 a lot of people, but I don't even know where to start.
In my gut, I feel like they're okay. But with each minute that passes, I begin to wonder.
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.
I kept hoping that they would keep trying to pick on Al Harris,
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.
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.
As I talked with (coach) Mike (Sherman) after that game that night, I really didn't know. If I had to make a decision at that particular time, which I knew I didn't, I was not coming back (for the 2005 season),
Was he saying that after we beat Detroit? I wonder what he says now? 'Maybe he can stick around a little longer.'
There's no airport. Pretty much everyone is better off staying put.
This is really a lot like the tsunami on a smaller scale, ... Rebuilding is going to take not weeks, not months, not years. Two years? No. Ten years? Maybe.
Off the field, he did so much for so many people. He really reached a lot of people. ... He was a great friend on and off the field. We'll all miss him.
As bad as that was, the worst is yet to come. To think we're going to try and play football, it's difficult.
As bad as I hate to admit it, age is working against me, as it works against everyone, ... But, if you can help it, you can't afford to be slow. Not one step.
