I learned a lot the year we won the Super Bowl in Baltimore (with the Ravens). I made mistakes, but I'm also not usually someone who dwells on the great things that happen, either. I can be critical of myself and the people around me, and I want to improve all the time. |
I left him a voice mail apologizing. The union and the players and the game is something I feel passionate about, and I was kind of emotionally charged. I left him my number and hope that he calls me back. It just wasn't a classy thing to do on my part, and I regret it. |
I like having my own space. I like to wake up when I want to, eat when I want to. I've got my dog, Chevy, here with me, and [my wife] Michelle is here too. My bus driver cooks for me. I've tried the food in the athletes' village. It's OK, but I prefer to eat in the bus. |
I liked him coming out of college because you could see he was a guy, like most tight ends, that you could count on. You knew he could come in and play in the NFL right away. That's the way our people thought about him and so did a lot of other people around the league. |
I liked the direction this whole organization is going, and being close to home made it exciting for me. There's a lot of opportunities for young guys here. They didn't guarantee me anything. I'll just work as hard as I can and hopefully the pieces will fall into place. |

I look at it as the president is taking an extraordinary step in sitting down with the commission and answering whatever questions they may have and providing them with information that can help them piece together all the information they have been previously provided. |
I made a good pitch to Holliday and he hit a good pitch. I tip my hat to that. I figured (the quick-pitch) was a good thing to do. In the three years I've been doing that I've only given up one hit. He did a good job of getting ready to hit that ball. That surprised me. |
I mean typically in any payroll sometimes you have errors because a lot is done manually by payroll staff. The other issue we have in health care is that collective contracts are incredibly complicated and trying to interpret them sometimes raises a whole lot of issues. |
I never like for anybody to miss a game. I think that if you're going to play, you play the best. I've never been one of those people who hopes a guy doesn't play, because I'd rather compete against him. And if you're not good enough, then you don't belong here, anyway. |
I never really doubted the character of this team. Inexperience shows, and that's something we've got to live with, but the character has always been there. ... We've got a lot of young guys that need to show progress if we're going to get better, and I think they will. |

I noticed the kids came home talking about chemical equations and the father's scratching his head. I saw it so often -- the father would say, 'I'm an idiot, but my son is a genius. He knows about malolactic fermentation.' Sooner or later all these wines taste the same. |
I pitched OK. I didn't pitch exceptionally well, but I didn't think I pitched five runs poorly. The bottom line is we won the game. I can't say enough about how we played as a team. One of the reasons I came here was the way our team plays, and you saw that (yesterday). |
I probably shouldn't bring it down to that level like I did last week, but I showed today that that's not the way I play the game. At the same time, I need to respect my teammates. Because I don't want any of my guys to get hurt from me doing something stupid like that. |
