beating bowling good major maybe mother smart street time
Bowling was my first love. Beating my mother for the first time when I was 13 or 14 was a major accomplishment. I had big glasses. I was a pretty smart kid, maybe nerdy, but I always had a good street sense.
football game good hungry hunting maybe prove situation stay toward trying understand
Toward the end of the game today, I said we've been hunting these teams, trying to get respect. And now maybe it's a situation where we're going to be hunted. We've got to understand the situation and stay as hungry and keep trying to prove that we're a good football team.
days definitely felt good pain serious
I thought it could've been pretty serious because I felt some pain in there, ... But as these days have gone, it's felt progressively better. That's definitely a good sign.
good home problem
The alternative to all this is that I could be at home watching, and for a lot of years I have been watching. So this is a good problem to have.
chance good last realist understand
I?m a realist in a sense that I do understand there is a good chance it is my last game.
believe football good kick prepare seattle
Don't believe that. Seattle has got a good football team. If we don't prepare and we don't get ready, they are going to kick our butts.
ball fun good healthy people plus pound sideline stay toward
It's working that way, and, hopefully, if I can stay healthy toward the end of the year, it's a big plus for us, ... That's the fun part, to be able to go out there and still contribute. To be on the sideline all those weeks, it was frustrating, so it was good to go back out there and pound the ball and show people it was still there.
coach game good people realize remembered starting ultimately winning
It's a shame, but I think now people are starting to realize how good a coach he's been for how long. And I think before the game he's being acknowledged for that, so I really think that's a good thing. But ultimately you're only remembered for winning the big game.
bowl came dream glad good knew super worked
It's a dream come true. I came back because I knew we had a good team, and I knew the Super Bowl was in my backyard. I'm glad everything worked out.
again good last matter super win
We don't have to be as good as we were last year, ... It doesn't matter if we're 15-1 again - if we're 10-6 but we win the Super Bowl, that's a better season.
caliber care commitment conducive environment good keeps message morale perform player positive shows team whenever
This is good for the team, ... It keeps team morale up. Whenever you get a player of his caliber signed, it shows the commitment the organization has to its players. I think it reinforces a positive message that if you go out there and perform on the field, we'll take care of you. I think that makes a very, very conducive environment for us to go out there and work.
couple good last
The one thing is that, on the road, we've been really, really good the last couple of years. It's something we can take as a positive.
good reason teams
His development is the reason why we are here. We've had some really good teams but, unfortunately, we haven't been able to get over the hump. He's been able to do that.
abnormal game good loved remembered running
Because of my size, I probably shouldn't be able to do some of the things I'm able to do. I just want to be remembered as a running back who was abnormal but had good feet, loved to play the game and did it right.
