You made it something special, ... Most of all, I want to thank the fans for your support not through the great times that we shared on the football field, but for the last 17 years of my life. You have supported me through all times.
I'm surprised the New England Patriots didn't take the decision out of his hands. As soon as this thing happened, they should have put him on IR.
I can't write my life story without Emmitt and Troy. They can't write their life stories without me. We're tied together forever. This is a day to remember for the rest of our lives.
I'm taking T.O., every day... He gives me the whole football field.

The movie, 'Remember the Titans,' is my favorite movie, staring Denzel Washington. I love the way in this movie the game of football brings those boys together, it unites those boys on that football field. It unites a whole town, black, white, old, young, rich and poor.
'Through the times I've gone through the last couple of weeks - and I'm still trying to help a friend - I got attacked pretty hard through the media, and it hurt and it was devastating, but I really found out who was with me and who was there for me.
I understand there are doubts. I'm going to do everything I can within reason to clear my name.
The whole thing means such a great deal for me, and hopefully one day it will be there. But my friends and my family mean a little more. I would rather be helping them, even if it hurts that.
Randy gives me the deep ball like no other receiver, ... He gives me the jump ball like no one else. Although T.O. is not as great as Randy going deep, he can still go deep in a great way. And with T.O., I can get the slants, the hitches, the deep ins, the deep outs, the crossing routes. And I've never seen T.O. quit on a route. He always goes as hard as he can go. I need that.
You know what, I've thought about that and it certainly hurts me, and it certainly hurts me, because I was hurt last year, not making it, and it's very important to me, ... But it's more important to me to help my friends, to help my brother, and to try to remove this spirit -- this drug addiction spirit -- out of my family.
When I said 'That belongs to a brother of mine,' I guess he thought maybe he put it in, ... I don't know. I certainly don't want any problems with the police.
I am the original... Those are my disciples.
