It's incredible. To watch those guys move the ball, control the ball, control the clock, put up points ... First of all, I think the crowd enjoys it, because I don't think they've had an offense like that to cheer for a while. And defensively, we enjoy it because it keeps us off the field and it puts points on the board.
I've always been the locker-room jokester, the fun guy, the guy who keeps it loose and easy. But also, on Sundays, the guy in that huddle jumping up and down, telling guys, 'Hey, get it going. Let's go.' Firing everybody up. So I'm part relaxation therapist and part Red Bull.
You show up every year, you work your butt off, and it's only for one thing. You do it all to try to get to the Super Bowl and win it. That's what keeps you going. You always think you have a chance.
I started working out with my father the summer I was 13, which was incredible for our relationship. Those were my summers: working out with my dad, hanging out with my brothers, riding my bike. Pretty simple.
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.
To be honest, that's the last body part I'm concerned about because it doesn't bother me in the least. There's no residual effect at all. Look, I'm here to play and if I go out there and something else gets hurt, that's part of football.
We'd stopped them a couple of times to help us get back in the game, but we come out in the second half and can't get the job done. That's very frustrating.
