I hit him and he backed up and hit me again, so I don?t know what the official saw. Joe is a good guy. We spent some time together at Tennessee. I was talking to him afterward and he was laughing about it because he knew what he did.
I'm a starting right tackle on probably most teams in this league. But it comes down to money. It's a business decision.
It's never as bad as it looks, and it's never as good as it looks. Some things did happen, but we'll take care of it. You might think it looked bad, but it wasn't that bad.
It's terrible we haven't played well this season.
It was interesting. I think it's the first time I've ever seen a kicker with a mouthpiece.
It's a place to hang out, as well as a great restaurant. They just do a lot of different things.
It wasn't so much a financial decision. I've made a lot of money and taken care of it well. I'm building a home in South Jersey, and wanted to stay around. Once I took my visit to New York, I sat back and thought about how much time I'd be away from my wife and kids. But I still had to work out a contract.
A lot of people need a right tackle. And, by the looks of it, the Eagles are going to need one. I don't know what they're going to do. I haven't heard from them.
People question me all the time about my experience. They question my experience in politics, and the first thing I always tell them is yes, I have no experience raising taxes over and over. I have no experience increasing the debt in a state.
After a great deal of thought and discussions with my family, I have decided not to seek re-election in 2014. Politics shouldn't be a career, and I never intended to make it one.
South Jersey is home to Joint Base McGuire-Dix-Lakehurst, one of the finest military installations in the world, and it was my honor to represent the base and all of those who serve there.
The first time I played him, it was like a man among boys -- he was that dominant. He tossed me around and blasted me a couple of times with that forearm shiver.
A lot of people are in politics to make friends, too, instead of making positive change. Theyre worried about getting re-elected.
Ive been blessed with a lot of great things in my life, and one of them was work ethic. And with work ethic, you can make anything happen.
