It's really bittersweet. It's been such a privilege to work with Mike and Paul all these years, but I'm really looking forward to working with Al, too.
It was pow-pow, like two muzzled gunshots. That was my leg breaking.
efficient way they mix the pass and run.
Everybody I talk to, the thing they say that impresses them most about Cadillac is his humility. All I ever hear is how he's never gotten caught up in the notoriety and the status that he's earned.
They went to the NFC Championship game without T.O., they went to the Super Bowl without T.O. - I don't know what makes him think he's so important,

Look, the magic age is not 35. It's all about your health. You first have to recognize what is so obvious this year was how unhealthy Mark was last year, and he never really said a lot about it. He was hurt, and he obviously compounded it by continuing to play. Now the legs are back, the arm strength is back.
