I had to fight with my background ... but I also had to live in the general environment. People have to be categorized. That's very annoying. Don't you find that annoying? Life shouldn't be like that. The world isn't like that. There's a lot of complexity. There are exceptions. |
I have addressed the seniors ... I am here to work with them to provide their best year. I give the students support for many activities unless of course they are dangerous or create health-related issues. This year we may change some processes, but the changes will be gradual. |
I have friends who are Muslim so I know they aren't all bad, and now my faith in Detroit is restored. ... For this man to go so much out of his way was just amazing. We offered him a reward. He wouldn't take it, and I don't think he's a rich man at all. He is a hero in my eyes. |

I have to pull him back sometimes in practice and tell him to get some rest. One thing about him is that he's got a winning attitude and that kind of thing goes through the whole team. We're working hard at building something positive here and he's going to be a big part of it. |
I haven't really run on it very much. I have to get my legs back under me. When you go to swinging the bat, that's a different deal because you turn (on the knee). There's some things I want to make sure I'm solid doing in my own mind before I got out there in a game situation. |
I heard about it this morning on the news. That's always tough, even if you don't know him or you don't know anything about that kind of racing or watch that kind of racing. It's still hard, especially with those cars. You always know the danger's there and things can go wrong. |
I held out for 12 days. It was a wonderful decision financially and a horrible decision football-wise. Being completely honest with that, if I had to go back to do it all over again, I'd have sacrificed the $2 million I made to be a better football player my first couple years. |
I hit a guy. I didn't hit him with my knee. I don't think I did anything in the wrong. . . . I always look out for my own battles. If there's things that come within the game that they don't like, obviously I'll stick up for myself. I don't need anybody else to stick up for me. |
I hope we realize that the people of New Orleans weren't just abandoned during the hurricane, ... They were abandoned long ago—to murder and mayhem in the streets, to substandard schools, to dilapidated housing, to inadequate health care, to a pervasive sense of hopelessness. |
I indicated that the government wants dialogue with the commission to clear the air on a broad range of issues as it pertains to Zimbabwe. The commission is now in the habit of refusing audience with Zimbabwe, and this is contrary to the rules and principles of natural justice. |
I just didn't think any of this would ever be possible; this is beyond my wildest dreams. I thought I'd be in the league the typical three years and be out. I just wanted the opportunity to come in and work hard. Now I've been to the Pro Bowl, now I'm playing in the Super Bowl. |
I just feel it is important for a guy if he is struggling, especially younger guys, to know what it's like, on their own. Not run to them every minute. Let them fight through it. He did that. That's why I admire what he did. I think it'll be good for him 10 years down the line. |
I just think running backs can have a dominant role. Everybody looks to quarterbacks to lead the team, but a running back? That guy is out there pounding it down. He can be the focal point as far as leadership of the team. He can do it all. I think the smart teams can see that. |
I just thought in the first quarter (that) we made a lot of mental mistakes defensively that we can't make against this team. And in the second quarter, they shot it so well that it just snowballed. We got very impatient offensively, and that just played right into their hands. |
