In my final years in Green Bay, when I wasn't getting the ball, people would ask me why I never complained. 'Because these guys are my family,' I would say. 'I'm not selfish. It's not about me. It's about these guys, my family, and winning championships together.
It took me 13 years to win a Super Bowl. But it only took me one season to win a 'mirror ball.'
I was so raw I didn't know about the Lambeau Leap-a Packer player celebrates catching a touchdown by leaping into the stands. It was started by Leroy Butler years before and has been copied by players all over the league. Don't be fooled, though. The only legitimate Lambeau Leap is celebrated by a Packer at Lambeau Field.
We've been talking back and forth, and I think he's pretty much going to hang 'em up.
The season was over Christmas Day. This is a new year and we started off a new season today.
Right now, we're in a deep hole. We have to find a way to get out of it.
Brett hasn't changed, ... A lot of people think he is changing but he hasn't changed. He is still throwing the ball the exact same way.
You get irritated with that horn going off every five seconds.
We have a lot of fans over there. I'd say it's 50-50 or maybe 60-40. It just depends on who gets the tickets first.
We can't even call ourselves a trio, ... We have to call ourselves a foursome because we have four guys who can change the game at any time.
We normally play on 'Monday Night Football' pretty good and have a show. But, instead, the Baltimore Ravens had a show, and we were just there.
We are frustrated regardless, ... It's going to keep on building if we don't get a win under our belt. It's going to be hard. Once we get that win the frustration will slip away.
I don't think we have anything against them.
I don't think it's topped that yet. But it's getting there.
