bowl driving few losing opportunity quite side situation super
I've been on the losing side of quite a few of these. That's what's driving me more than anything, not that the Super Bowl is in Detroit. It's an opportunity for us to do something we haven't done. We've been in this situation before and we lost.
added bowl super
I thought it all added up when Super Bowl 36 was at our doorstep. It was the AFC championship and it was in New Orleans, Super Bowl 36. It didn't happen.
bad bowl enjoy happen hate knew super
I feel so bad for him. He knew this was coming, but you hate to see it happen during Super Bowl week. He's not even going to get to enjoy it.
cheering grew hear ovation people super
To hear the ovation from the crowd, and to hear people I grew up with cheering for me in the Super Bowl, it was incredible. It's better than I ever thought it would be.
living super
To be in the Super Bowl, I am living the dream. Then to be at home, it's an unbelievable dream. It's one of those things you don't want to end.
media players sacrifices super watched wished worthwhile
It makes everything worthwhile that I've ever had to go through, everything I've done. You know, 13 years, all the sacrifices that I've made, it made it all worthwhile. For 12 years, I've watched other players go through Media Day and go through the buildup for the Super Bowl. And I've always wished that it could have been me.

It's just great that we're able to win and give him another crack at that elusive Super Bowl ring.
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.
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.
best bowl couple eventual felt sad super team three
No question. I felt, a couple of those years, we had the best team, that was the sad part. All three years, I felt we had the better team (better than the three eventual Super Bowl winners).
came losing sight super
This has been a lot of fun. The one thing we're not losing sight of is we came here to play the Super Bowl.
bowl detroit greatest people perception super
The perception is that it's not the greatest city, but Detroit is an up-and-coming city. After the Super Bowl is over, people are going to see that it's a lot better than advertised.
criticized super win
He's been criticized for not being able to win the big one and not being able to get back to the Super Bowl. So I think it's great.
