Because after my first year I had a lot of success, took everybody by storm, came back the next year thought it was easy and didn't have near the season I had the previous year. It was kind of a wake-up call. And so, life goes on.
In this case, I realize that, unlike when I was 22 years old, I realize now that football will not go on forever, it is a small part of your life.
I didn't know what to expect coming into this year. There were a lot of question marks, and I think that's obvious now. Can we overcome it? Time will tell.
Even in past years, when I wasn't in the Super Bowl, I wished I was.
I think the 16 years that I spent in Green Bay speaks for itself.
I really believe this team has a lot of potential - whether it's this year or in years to come, I don't know.
I can't believe I survived, not only my life, but I am still playing football 'cause half of those eight or nine years I don't even remember.
With each game I play, with each season I play, I'm running out of chances... you're never guaranteed next year. You're never guaranteed the next game. You have to seize the opportunity when it's there in front of you.
The things we needed on defense, he stepped up to the plate.
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.
I would love to go in. I thought about getting to Tennessee tonight and driving in with some supplies.
Mike had his mind made up Saturday, but we didn't know until Sunday. Until I went out there and took the first snap, you don't know. I might have just gone, 'I can't do it.' Once the newness wears off and the toughness wears off, 'I just can't do it.' And I was probably as immobile as I've ever been. I couldn't do anything.
