On the football field, you're still going out to there to win. And if you're not going out there to win, what are you going out there for?
fought furthest life
I know some 'thugs,' and they know I'm the furthest thing from a thug. I've fought that my whole life, just coming from where I'm coming from.
people somebody
A lot of people are like, 'Don't read your news clippings.' I read them every day. Anything negative somebody said about me, I find it and use it as fuel.
You rest better coming off of a win.
sounds
You're not on scholarship for school, and it sounds crazy when a student-athlete says that, but that's - those are the things coaches tell them every day: 'You're not on scholarship for school.'
bad few people quite
There may be a lot of people out there who don't like me who don't even know me. But there are quite a few people who like me because they know me. I'm not a bad guy by any means. I can't do anything about people hating me for no reason.
ability alex announced attributes choice circle clients full last leadership leading merger perfect positions provide record strategy taking track year zeitgeist
The merger we announced last year with Zeitgeist Communications has come full circle with the appointment of Alex Josef as our new CEO. Alex's ability to provide top-level strategy to clients and his track record of taking other PR firms to leadership positions are attributes we wanted in a CEO...he is the perfect choice for leading this company.
close fire house orange saw truck tucked yard
I didn't know what was going on. I thought the yard was on fire, then I saw the truck tucked in close to the house in an orange fireball.
advantage athletes education focused free given opportunity people school taking time upset
I don't think college athletes are given enough time to really take advantage of the free education that they're given, and it's frustrating because a lot of people get upset with student-athletes and say, 'They're not focused on school and they're not taking advantage of the opportunity they're given.'
continue
The goal has always been to stay in Seattle and continue to play for the Seahawks.
hockey fighting thug
But there was a hockey game where they didn't even play hockey, they just threw the puck aside and started fighting. I saw that and I thought, 'Oh man, I'm a thug? I know some thugs and they know I'm the farthest thing from a thug.
games nfl appreciate
I was making sure everyone knew Crabtree was a mediocre receiver. And when you try the best corner in the game with a mediocre receiver, that's what happens. I appreciate that he knows that now.
nfl trying tvs
Every TV timeout, I went up and said it right to Brady: 'Please keep trying me. I'm going to take it from you.'
bullying people use
But people find it easy to take shots on Twitter, and to use racial slurs and bullying language far worse than what you'll see from me. It's sad and somewhat unbelievable to me that the world is still this way, but it is. I can handle it.
