hard-work thinking long
I don't think there's a limit as long as I keep my head right, don't get above myself, work hard and remember where I came from.
afraid confidence guess guys hard notice starting swagger work
Nate has always had a swagger, but I guess you guys are starting to notice it. I'm probably No. 1 or No. 2 in the swagger department. It's confidence because we work hard to be good, and we aren't afraid to say that.
best great hard luck seeing today wish worked
I don't know him personally, but as a player, he's a great player. He's worked very hard to get where he is, obviously, and I wish him the best of luck. That's what I told him today -- 'best of luck in everything you do.' I know I'll be seeing him and just keep doing what you do.

This was a huge win, a huge win, ... This win means nothing though if we go down to Carolina and don't get a victory there.

admitting apologize caused clear expect handle legal move name personal process ridiculous situation
Without admitting to the ridiculous allegations, I do apologize for any embarrassment that this situation has caused the community, the organization and especially my family. I can handle the personal accusations because I know the truth. I expect the legal process to clear my name so that I can move on.
We just weren't on the same page. Things like that, it's not us; it's not Viking football.
came drive excited happy next seven
Without the turnover it would have been perfect. One thing I'm really excited about that we did, is we came back the next drive and put seven on the board. We're really happy about that for the first offense.
team trade-me doe
Now that I have confirmed that the Vikings have been seeking to trade me, I have asked for permission to speak to the interested teams. The Vikings have denied my request. If a trade does not happen, then I am asking the Vikings to terminate my contract as soon as possible.
giving-up dont-give-up successful
You get frustrated when you don't win and when you're not successful. You have to keep battling. You don't give up. You don't start second guessing yourself.

I played seven years in Minnesota and I'm looking forward to a better, greater seven years down in Miami. I'm back home. It's great.

Nobody who was shooting dice wanted to get a dance.

UCF stayed with me all the way, so I felt I should stay with them.
