I can't even begin to tell you how do good this feels ... especially after how our season ended last year. Nobody believed in us except the guys in this locker room. All our hard work has paid off. We're going to the Super Bowl. |
I can't fault 'Twaan for that. He was trying to make a play. I thought he was going to get out of it and I was going to block, and he ended up pitching to me and I took my eyes off the ball and I wasn't really ready for it. I'm partly to blame. If I catch the ball, we don't turn the ball over and if we don't, we at least get a field goal out of it. |
I didn't even want to watch. I put a towel over my head. The Patriots, that's why they are the champions. |
I didn't sleep much. I had nerves. It didn't hit me until the second quarter, 'I'm playing in the Super Bowl.' I left some plays out there I usually could make in my sleep. But I have no complaints. |
I didn't want to make it a media circus. It's something that's part of football, it happens. It was a road I had to come across and I tried to handle as best and as professionally as I could. |
I do want my fair market value, ... The Marvin Harrison, Randy Moss, Terrell Owens numbers out there are ridiculous. I wouldn’t try to ask for that. Not to say that I’m any less of a player than those guys but I know how this organization is run, how the offense is, for me, it’s all about getting the opportunity to start his career in one place and end his career in one place; and what a better place to do it than in the Black and Gold. That’s all I want is a commitment from this organization that I can retire as a Steeler. |
I don't get caught up in numbers. All I care about is winning. |
I don't know how (the Seahawks) can feel disrespected when everybody had them going to the Super Bowl, anyway. We feel like we're the underdog. Nobody was talking about us. For us to do what we have done, people want to jump on the bandwagon now. |
I don't really worry about that, |
I don't think it could be written any better as far as a story line - a happy ending. |
I dropped the first touchdown - I was too worried about my feet staying in bounds. I took my eyes off the ball. |
I got so upset at myself on the touchdown pass that I dropped. I make that catch in my sleep a hundred times a night. |
I guess it was the big game with Chicago. At the time, Chicago was the No. 1 defense, being compared to the '85 Bears. |
I had a chance to meet the doctor who saved my mother's life at the time of giving birth to me. This is where it all started. |
I hate seeing me put in this situation. It's totally different. ... I don't even think I'd look right in another uniform. ... It's unfortunate it came to a holdout, because I wouldn't miss this season for the world. |
