add bodily concerning games harm head increasing ourselves schedule sixteen
Sixteen games, to me, is a long enough schedule for anybody. We're already concerning ourselves with head injuries and bodily harm to all of the professional athletes. Add to extra games to it, (and) you are just increasing those risks.
nfl games play
I'm very confident I'm one of the best to ever play the game, but once you talk about the greatest, how can you define greatest?
games careers years
Consistency is one of the hallmarks of my career. You knew what you were going to get out of E-Smith every game, every year, no matter if I was 22, 21 or 35 years old.
football games car
Some if it may seem hokey to some people, but if you traveled where I've traveled, done what I've done and seen the results that I've been getting, then you understand where I'm coming from. Playing in a football game is like being in 30-40 car accidents. You can find yourself in awkward positions. That stuff takes its toll. But if you take advantage of health care, balance your body back out, put it back where its supposed to be, you function better, and you recover faster.
team thinking games
Don't worry about the game you just won or the team that we just blew out... or, um... blown... blowed out... Let's think about what we need to do going forward, and they had, uh... blown out.
games people different
I enjoyed being a teammate of Deion Sanders. He brings different elements to the game that many people would not even realize, and to watch and witness a superior talent like him and watch him prepare and train, and study the game is truly amazing.
games fields given
I've given everything I can possible to the game, on and off the field.
bob days looked name roof saw side
I looked up to the roof and saw Bob Lilly on the right side and I looked up there, 'Wow!' and went all the way around the stadium. I said one of these days my name is going to be up there. Now it is.
I have achieved everything that I ever wanted to accomplish in this game and more so, for me, I have been fulfilled.
added rest separate though
My father is Emmit and my grandfather is Emmit, but I wanted something extra so I could separate my Emmitt from the rest of them. Even though on my birth certificate it has one T, I just added the extra T for me.
came encourage hated man offensive sacked season send texts throughout tony watching
I used to send Tony Romo texts throughout the season just to encourage him, just to wish him luck and just to tell him to get on his offensive line. I hated watching this young man get sacked as much as he did, especially when it came down to big games.
kept
I was actually looking for answers where I kept asking myself - what am I doing?
care hate redskins
The Redskins are going to hate it. They better hate it because I don't care much for them.
afford considered family florida military send university
If I didn't have a scholarship to go to the University of Florida or any school, I probably would have considered the military because my family could not afford to send me to college.
