I think he's definitely been under more pressure before. He's smart enough to realize in the long run it's still just a game anyway. It's a playoff game and maybe the tempo picks up a little bit more, and of course everything is at stake, but at the same time it's still football.
It depends what you do with it those six times. If you do like Moss or T.O. does, you definitely have the right to say whatever you say because there are only a few guys who can change a game in the course of a few plays.
I feel fresh, ... And I appreciate playing. Every time I step on the field, every play, I look at it as it could be my last. The realization of that definitely has me feeling that I'd better take advantage of every snap that I can.
When you're older, it's harder to stay in this game and play at a Pro Bowl level. I definitely feel it was one of my better years, if not the best. Experience definitely helps, realizing you don't have to rely so much on bulk, mass and strength. You can rely on what you've learned over the years and you can be just as effective.

Is it possible to respect someone and hate their guts? ... It is? Then, we've accepted it.
Feely, he's crazy. He thinks he's a big guy. He thinks he's tough. We gotta keep reminding him he's a kicker.
Even though the weight I'm lifting isn't what it was when I was playing, it's not like I'm not lifting weights that are heavier than the common person would lift. I think a lot of people look at that and say, 'Whoa!'
Even though I'm not with their mother, it's important for my kids to see adults in a committed and happy relationship. They need to see a strong relationship. You don't have to settle.
Sometimes, the better the competition, the better you play,
Everyone talks about who is the best receiver in the game. In my opinion, when you go back and look at numbers, (Holt) probably is the best receiver in the game.
As the game gets bigger for the fans it gets bigger for the players.
At some point, we have to make plays. We can't just leave it up to the offense to win it for us at the end.
