My concentration and focus level tends to go down sometimes when I'm in a bad mood.
I'm just enjoying the ride. I'm just contributing what I can.
The New England Patriots have always been a special organization and I've always watched from afar.
I'm one of the most competitive guys in the NFL. Believe me, nobody wants it more than me.
What I have done in my nine year career was just a glimpse of what I can do.
Everybody knows I got a temper. It's not a temper temper-not an off-the-field temper. It's a competitive temper, wanting to do good. But as far as being a guy who disrupts a lot of things, who doesn't want to listen? Nah, man. That's false. That's false because I'm excelling.
I'm starting to realize I can't practice a certain way during the week and expect to play another way on Sunday.
I'm still overwhelmed and, at the same time, kind of star struck that I am part of this New England Patriots organization.
In a way, I am what they say I am. I am a hard-ass. I'm hard to get along with. Most of the time I'm moody. All that's true. I got no problem with people saying that.
If it's early in the game and the team's not doing well, I get frustrated when I don't get the ball, because I think I can spark the team and get the crowd into it.
I'm from West Virginia. If you didn't know what was happening in NASCAR, you were on the outside. NASCAR is a big league sport, but it's still also country and redneck.
I love the game so much. I've been penalized. I've been fined. I have some regrets in my career. But for those four hours on Sunday, you can be free and just let it all go. Retiring had nothing to do with football; it had to do with my family.
I don't know how many more times I'll be in New England again. But I leave coach Belichick and those guys with a salute: 'I love you guys. I miss you. I'm out.'
I don't care about my image. I'm already paid. I've already got my money, so why worry about my image?
