There is no future. This is the season. Get to the Super Bowl.
As you get older, you're always maturing, you're always learning something new about yourself.
That's not a pretty sight, because you never know the extent of the injuries. The trainers don't tell you anything. The referees are telling you to get back. You've got your teammate down there, your best friend, and he's not moving. So those are unfortunate situations. ... That very easily could be myself on the other side of the field.
That's his right and that's our fiduciary responsibility to protect him - any member of our association.
You're talking about a guy who just doesn't do it from week to week. He gets the job done every day of the week. I hear people talk about this person or that person being the best safety in the league after they've had one or two good years, but Dawkins has been more consistent at that position than anybody.
You're talking about a football fight versus a fight for the seat on the bus. There's no comparison. People were dying in the era where you were fighting for rights, fighting for a voice. But I do think his enthusiasm, the fire in his heart, was homegrown.
This could only happen in Green Bay. Only the Packers could sell out a scrimmage game.
The National Football League is a humbling league. You can't rest on your merits from a week ago. We're not good enough to go out and play average football. We have to play extremely well in all three phases of the game. We're not good enough, defensively or offensively, to just show up.

He's a smart guy, very savvy. He's been doing it for so many years at a high level, so it's second nature to him. You are not going to blitz him out of anything. He's seen every coverage that's ever been devised.
That disparity is going to get larger. You look at all the skyboxes and the luxury seating and the amenities at newer stadiums in big markets, and you can see where the disparity comes from.
Hopefully what we were able to teach them will stick with them throughout their playing careers and throughout their lives.
The champions are in our division, and until you knock the champion out and put them on the floor, they're still the champion. Three of the last four Super Bowl winners have come from this particular division. No question this is the toughest division in football.
The disparity is going to get larger, and you're going to have the haves and have-nots,
