A man can wear pink if he has confidence, if he believes in himself and knows he's man enough to do it.
Every day I wake up, I say, 'Damn, I hope I don't get that call today.' I don't want to lose my mama. When I start thinking about that, I fall into a hole.
It's exciting when kids look up to you or kids come up to you and ask for your autograph. When grown ups come up to you, that's really not exciting. Why would a grown man be excited for meeting another grown man?
On offense, you can fumble and they still talk about you.
I can be a receiver, a cornerback, a safety and quarterback-I can play everything.
Everybody who I play always wants to use me, so I always tell them that I'm the only one who knows how to stop Portis, so go ahead.
I have the opportunity to control what happens in a game. I'll have the ball in my hand, and only I know what I'm going to do with it.
I'm not bitter at all. I think my memories in Denver are great.
I don't feel like I have to live up to anything because I've proven that I can play. Give me the ball and let's go.
They never got the opportunity to pay me back for that, so I'm looking forward to it. They're going to have some problems this week. I'm going to come in there with my hard hat on and go to work.
That play was designed to lose two yards. I spun around a guy and it was clear from there.
You pick your poison. You either give up the deep ball to Santana and (Chris) Cooley or let me grind it out.
Southeast Jerome in Heaven. I'm here in heaven with all my friends.
Third down had been killing us for the last three weeks and to come out and execute and not get in the shotgun, and to actually run the ball when we got to on third and short and to come out and execute, it just builds confidence, and it's going to open up our passing game. We come out on third and short and we haven't been converting, but in this game, we stuck with the run all game long and it paid off: Once we got down to the goal line we stuck it in again.
