I think that whenever you play football at any time it could be your last play. I think that's the great thing about this sport.
I think that is a team goal. The way I always looked at MVPs was it was a player that did really, really good on a really, really good team. That is why I am even more excited about this year, because I have put together some great numbers, but we have a great team.
I think that would be wise. I think that's what they'll do, but I think our offense is built on taking whatever they give us. It would be wise for them to do that, but at the same time, we're not worried about what anybody does.
It is more fulfilling to be 13-3. To know that we are in the playoffs and we don't have to play next week.
I went from not knowing who I am -- Batman or Robin? -- to a guy who was healthy enough to play. I got knocked out, but it wasn't about me. It's about us, a team. We're willing to pick up our falling brother.
I went from not knowing if I am Batman or Robin, to feeling pretty good at the end of the game, to every day getting better in my head. And this game was really good.
I think they talk a lot of mess. That kind of gets me excited.
I think he is showing the world how good he is. It's kind of like watching your little brother grow into a superstar. It's an awesome feeling.
I stopped conversations with everybody, and everybody has been up front saying that they are going to talk about it after the season.
I think last year was made more dramatic than it really was to me and Mike. Everybody in this whole organization, their big goal is to win a bunch of games, go undefeated here at home, get to the Super Bowl and see what happens. When everybody has that as their goal, it eliminates all the other personal goals.
The arm comes down. The thing shoots up. It was crazy. That van probably won't be driven for a while.
Just have fun with it all. This is one of those things where it will be like, 'Dang, we got here once.' Of course we don't want it to be like that, but it is possible. So the best thing for us to do is just enjoy this all and then Sunday, be ready to just play unbelievable.
Jerome is in a class of his own. He's much bigger than anybody else, and for him to have that speed and to be able to sidestep people, and then run through people, that puts him in a different class.
Kobe scored 81 points. I was asking the guys the other day, 'How do you score that many points in a game?' That's like scoring seven touchdowns.
