I've got a little bit of a burst but I can't run a 4.2 (40-second dash) that's for darn sure. You see guys on film just take the wrong angle on him all the time because he's so fast. He's got a little extra in his step. They know he's fast, but you don't know how fast until you watch him in person.
I thought maybe we could go and be inconspicuous and not be bothered,
My arm feels great. I can make all the throws. I've never done anything different, and I still feel like I can play like I always have.
The public doesn't care about my size. It's just something for the media to talk about.
That's the way I like it because there's no time to have nerves about it. You just run out and do it.
A guy that's undersized has to prove himself right away.
My favorite song to play is 'Smokin' by Boston. I actually had a chance to play that with the band Boston live.
It's possible, but I'm not going to rule anything out. But if that ends up being my last play, it wouldn't be bad.
It was fun to watch Tom work. He took it to another level the whole fourth quarter.
It was exciting. It's fun for me to be out there with the young guys, see the look in their eyes, too.
My daughter is very strong-willed and is a great kid. She doesn't drink. She doesn't smoke. She doesn't fold to peer pressure. I think how affectionate my wife and I have been with her over the years all plays into that. She realizes the more people she is exposed to that kids who have both parents around grow up to be much better people.

The day I retire is the day I'll feel old. I'm not there yet.
It's nice to have a situation where you can make it fun.
