bus came last mission win
I'm a champion. This is the last Bus stop. I came back to win a championship. Mission accomplished.
last referee stop
I'm a champion. I think the Bus' last stop is here in Detroit. It's official, like the referee whistle.
bit care drag gone last process year
It's disappointing in a sense that the organization said last year they're going to take care of him, and it wasn't resolved. I think they could have gone through this process a little bit earlier. They didn't have to drag it this far.
bowl diminish great last opportunity super thinking until wait
That's a great question. I'm going to look at it. The last thing I want to do is diminish anything by even thinking about that. This is a great opportunity we have. I'm going to wait until after the Super Bowl and think about it.
foolish last looking outside sit super three won
They've won two of the last three Super Bowls, so it would foolish of me to sit back and think they're not the favorite. If I was on the outside looking in, I'd say the same thing.
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.
bus last stops
The Bus stops here. The last stop is here in Detroit.
bus champion game last played stop win
Detroit, you were incredible. Pittsburgh, here we come. I played this game to win a championship. I'm a champion. I think The Bus ... his last stop is here, in Detroit.
ball detroit game great knew last lost mind since turn
Detroit was always in the back of my mind since we lost in the AFC championship game last year. I thought we could get there and I knew if we didn't turn the ball over we had a great chance.
crossed last
Of course, it crossed my mind. But that thought was short-lived. Fortunately, it's not (my last play).
capable fun impressed knew last pound running week year
I was impressed a little last year and I was really impressed in Week 1 of how well he was running inside. From that aspect, yeah, I knew he was capable of it, but to see him really, really pound it in there was fun to see.
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.
call champion game incredible last played ride time win
It's been an incredible ride and there's always a time when you have to call it quits. I played this game to win a championship. I'm a champion and I think the Bus...the last time is here in Detroit.
breaking game last pressure season situation teammates
It's been a situation where my body's been breaking down. The last thing I wanted to do going into a game like this and going into a season was going to tell my teammates this was going to be the last game. I never wanted to put that kind of pressure on my teammates for them to even think that.
