When I was in school, at the time he was the governor of Texas, ... Sometimes he would work out in our weight room. I had a chance to talk to him a couple of times. I was lifting, he was just riding a bike. I think he's a nice person.
I didn't think it would be very special. Coming back to a franchise, an organization that I worked for three years, it felt good to be back here. It was good to see a lot of old friends.
The best way I can think to put it is that I'm back here to work,
After getting my blood tested and having a nutritionist show me exactly which foods work best as fuel for me, I can feel the machine working efficiently, my body grabbing at the food after workouts.
It was a blessing for me to play with a guy like that, ... In most situations like that, things usually don't work out. There's a lot of animosity. So thank God for playing with a guy like that.
This whole thing is a little confusing. I'll just leave it at that. The best way to say it is he violated the program.
This whole thing gets crazier by the day.
Why do you think I'll play football again?
To get more out of yourself, you have to expect more out of yourself. Before your body can achieve it, your mind has to perceive it.
Victories have been hard to come by this year. I think when we can, late in the game, stick together and pull one out it's going to help our confidence.
You have to realize I've been away from the game for a long time,
To watch this team grow and be part of it has been special. We've made strides, and we can be confident that we can go into next season strong.
Every step you make there's just more and more distractions. There's just more things that can go wrong and do go wrong. It's just mental toughness.
As the game goes on, I usually get stronger and more comfortable and have a better feel for what to do. Life is about opportunities. Unfortunately Ronnie was down, so this week I made the most of the opportunity.
