I didn't come here to catch 100 balls. I came here because I feel Carolina is the team with the best chance to get to the Super Bowl.
I don't care how quiet a guy is. If he's a receiver, he has a big ego.
I know Sammy, so I was playing with him a little bit. But when you see that situation like that (one-on-one coverage by a backup cornerback), that just tells you that obviously they must really think that I can't play football. You're making a big mistake in that coverage.
I hope every team in the league keeps thinking like Irvin. They are going to get the same thing the Chargers, Redskins and 49ers did. Terry is legit, and I know I am legit.

If I'm such a problem, why do these people continue to invest dollars if he's a problem? I wouldn't. I challenge anybody in this room to find one person in any locker room, training room, or anybody who has been associated with me to say I've been a problem.
I drive like a grown man. I drive what the speed limit says. Speed is not part of my daily routine. I like cars, but when I have an opportunity to get one, I don't want to spend a whole bunch of money on a car. I'm not trying to spend over sticker.
I don't want to sound arrogant, but that's probably like six times that Bill and I have done this through the course of our relationship at the end of games, where it's been that play where it's do or basically die and they come to me. We've done pretty well.
I'm sad to see it happen. My regards go out to the family. I will try at some point to get in contact with some of his family.
I'm not the type of person to point fingers at anybody, and I don't want anybody saying anything to me. There are situations where balls are bounced to your feet you don't say anything.
He's sour when you win, and he's sour when you lose.
He threatened me a couple of times to make this decision.
I know talent when I see it. I know frauds when I see em. I know players that can play and cant play.
I never really called people out. It was more along the lines of teasing a person. It started for me in fifth grade on the basketball court.
