I can't believe it's that long. I love this game. |
I can't say that I was shocked that we had a chance to win that game, but with all the things that happened, we had a chance. |
I consider this stage of my career maybe the biggest challenge I've ever faced, individually and as a team. There's nothing left for me to prove. ... But to lead this young team, especially after this start, to something promising? |
I could decide in a few days or a few minutes. I know it's not fair to the Packers, the fans or the media to keep people waiting. And I'm pretty sure those close to me in my family would like for me to make up my mind. But I can't say right now exactly when that will be. |
I did hear that. I was a bit embarrassed, to be honest with you. But I did appreciate it. Our fans have been so supportive of the team, even during this tough season. |
I didn't know how much I'd be committed (to playing and to the team) with everything else that had gone on. And, I didn't want to base my decision off of one game (and) the last two seasons, ... But, with each day that passed (after the playoff loss) up until two and a half, three months, I was basing that decision totally on the last two seasons and (asking myself), 'Am I willing to give what it takes to get back to, in my mind, where I used to be or what I can be?' |
I didn't know what to expect coming into this year. There were a lot of question marks, and I think that's obvious now. Can we overcome it? Time will tell. |
I do have the itch (to play), just a different one. It's not about the money and I would walk away from a lot of it. It's about winning football games. I want to come back and win. . . . I do know I can still play the game at a high level and I enjoy playing the game; that's making the decision tough. But you're only as good as the team around you. |
I don't have many years left as a Packer and I'm going to try to enjoy as much of it as I can, and in the process use my celebrity to try to help as many people as I can, |
I don't know about the other guys, ... but I'm hungry. |
I don't know if I will play this year or not. . . . If I do play this year, it will be my last. There's no doubt about that. |
I don't know if we have to prove anything to the rest of the world, |
I don't know on paper if we're better or not. |
I don't know what's going to happen at the end of this year, and I'm not concerned about that, |
I don't know when that point comes when you go, 'We've given guys plenty of chances.' I'm sure everyone's patience is wearing thin, |
