For the seller, this is usually the worst time to sell, |
He just wished me good luck. For him to give me that letter, man, that just made me feel good. |
He walked into the storm. He's probably dead. |
I could do this, definitely, for three or four more weeks. This year. |
I don't want to be around the ball unless I'm recovering it. I have no problem with not touching the ball. I don't want to run with the football. . . . They tackle guys with that thing. |
I guess I've had a lot of moments to add up to 20 years. I've been pretty fortunate. |
I had to have two cakes because I had so many candles. That really hit hard. |
I know the biggest number for me being in this 20th year isn't how big I am, or how many times I've bench-pressed 225. It's that I'm 42 years old. |
I only really trust organic food. |
I thought we had the potential to do something. It looks like we're heading that way. It's not all over, said and done, but it's all in front of us, and I'm glad to be a part of a team that's playing for something in December. |
I will have a song that I'm in love with for a couple of months and then I'll go to something else. That's just constantly changing. And sometimes I will go back to old one that I haven't heard for a long time. |
I'm fortunate in the sense I really did finish up with the best group of guys. I couldn't have picked a better group. For me to go out in my 20th season with the type of teammates I had, with all the jokes and fun — I was blessed. |
I'm honored, and absolutely floored, by this. I know some of the members are guys like Doc Blanchard, Dizzy Dean and Walter Payton. I got a call from (Hall of Fame publicist) Glen Waddle and I remember telling him, 'Are you kidding me?' I had to sit down. |
I'm pretty sure this is it. I'm not going to stamp that in concrete, but I don't think I want to play. I've had enough football. I've enjoyed it. And when I say I've had enough, it doesn't mean I don't like it. I've had enough with a big smile and a lot of happiness, with some pleasurable moments. |
I'm satisfied, I really am. I leave this game with so much. I've taken so much. Now it's my time to try to give something back to somebody else, to give some time to my family and give some time to some charitable organizations in my community. |
