I know talent when I see it. I know frauds when I see 'em. I know players that can play and can't play.
When I'm on television, I'm talking to millions of people, so the conversation is totally different. My words are different. My diction is different because now I'm really talking American English and not homeboy English.
Only a handful of professional football athletes have had a signature shoe, unlike in basketball where there have been a number of guys.
We're playing decent football right now. We're not playing great football by any stretch of the imagination. And decent football is only going to get you so far. We've got to eventually get good, then get great.
This probably was our most complete game since Philadelphia.
We knew what this game meant. We knew we had to win to have any chance.
We added some good parts. We should be a much better football team.
We actually talked a long time ago up in New England about one day maybe we'd play together, ... Just Give Me The Damn Ball!
When you win, it obviously makes things a lot better, ... demeanor never really changes.
Aaron Glenn should never be questioned as a player in this league. He's always made plays and he made another one there to win the game. That's just what he brings to the team. But it doesn't surprise me at all to see (Glenn) do something like that.
That's not a leader. That's a fictitious, phony person selling something. I am not selling my leadership. I am just going to do what they ask me to do. That's leadership for me.
This is what matters to me, ... Not all the big numbers, the fancy statistics. I want to make the plays that count.
I thought this was the best place for me to get back to the Super Bowl. The opportunity to play with Steve (Smith) is a great one and our goal is not in catches, but in wins.
It ain't no rebirth. I realized it last year when he was here, then he was gone. Quickly.
