Compared to the other teams, it definitely seems like a younger team to me. But I think that everybody here has the same motivation, the same desire to go out there and win these games and put us in the Super Bowl. That is everybody's goal. There is no doubt in anybody's mind that we can do that as long as we play the way we are capable of playing.

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.
