It was a lot of balance-oriented things. They made me wear a big honking brace all the way down my leg. It was a lot of standing on one foot, doing one-legged squats. It was really hard, because my leg was kind of deteriorated.
It was so bright, and you could feel the rumble.
It was real emotional. This was a great group of seniors. We had a lot of good times together. We never thought it would end. Everybody is really sad. A great run has come to an end.
It was real amazing. I knew (the linebackers) were fixing to drop real deep. When I sat back, I saw all those guys drop and turn their heads. I don't know why they did that.
It was the first time, I had ever gone out on my own.
It was the most miserable part of any time I've been here.
It was the most beautiful song I have ever heard in my life. I couldn't get enough of it.
It was so small and senseless. A petty argument lost him his life.
It was scary seeing my kids in the photos. It was like I was looking at three serial killers.
It was a very productive day for him. We accomplished what we wanted.
It was a real positive event. We were real lucky, considering we got rained on.
It was a really good feeling to be selected by everyone in the league. It's a great achievement for myself and I'm really happy I made the team.
It was a tough one to lose. There were some good signs out there, and we've got to build on those positives.
It was awkward at first - I felt like the loner. But after I started playing with them, it got better. They're nice and I'm learning a lot from them.
