Anybody I step onto the field with, it's a rivalry. I know they're going to be very upset about happened in the AFC Championship. I know they are using that as a motivational tool. So we'll see what happens. Let's get it on between the lines. |

He's 6-foot-4, runs like a deer and can jump like Kobe Bryant. |

He's the best receiver in the league. He's 6-4, can run like a deer, can jump like Kobe Bryant. He's Randy Moss. |
How do you spell referee? |
