In New York, they like winners. They don't like second place.
Be committed to whatever you're doing. That's something I've taken to heart and tried to do with whatever activities I take up.
I go through life with a smile because I know things can be worse than they are.
With the game on the line. I want the ball in my hands.
I think a lot of guys want a son because of all of the things they do while growing up. A lot of guys want to share those experiences with their own sons.
I'm not worried about where I rank between other QBs in the league.
Tom Brady is a great quarterback, he's a great player, and what you've seen with him is he's gotten better every year.
As a player, that's not your responsibility to comment and to give your opinion on another player. As a quarterback, I don't want another quarterback tweeting about my performance or judging me in that way.
I like making fun of myself; I don't want to make fun of other people, so I don't mind doing something out of character that some people might not expect me to do.
The quarterback, you can play with a lot of big injuries. You get a little injury like an index finger or a thumb that most people can play with, sometimes you can't. I've stayed away from some of those.
I'm the type of person who loves to stay busy, even in my off-season.
I'm worried about doing my best, playing to my potential, helping out my teammates, and trying to win games for the Giants.
As soon as you make mistakes, or you have an off year, even if it's not your fault as a quarterback... I've always said the quarterback and the head coach always get too much blame when you lose and too much credit when you win.
That was not the way I wanted to come out and play. It was disappointing, especially the way the offense played this season. We couldn't hit any big plays or establish anything to build on. They did a good job, but I still didn't protect the ball, and that's what it comes down to in big games.
