'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.
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.
The first couple games were really, really tough, ... But I had a lot of people call me. Rebecca Lobo called, Nancy Lieberman, a lot of great stars talked to me and told me, your time will come. Just continue to work hard in practice, and when the opportunity comes, then youll show everybody you can play.

They won't drop the passes they dropped last week.
Not if you have a dome, and you get a pact with God not to bring down the snow. It's been nice. I've got all kind of minks and cashmeres in the closet - I shouldn't say that. I don't want anyone to break in my hotel room.
I'm going to do everything I can to clear my name. I've talked to my attorneys about the legalities of everything and when we get home tomorrow, we're talking. Dan, I'm totally clean. I don't do anything.
that he's high and out of his mind, and he's doing some crazy stuff.
That's the best way to go about it, but still, I've been in some legal battles and I know the twisting ... and the ... and the ... twisting and all that stuff when it comes to the legality of things. So certainly when I talk to my lawyer, we'll address all of those ways to clear my name.
Well, if legally it's not a problem, I don't have a problem doing that.
