 It's been six years since I have had a drink and I have two girls, and my priorities are a lot different now and I just can't believe I was that guy. And I would not go back, I would not trade the way I am now for anything. |
| I don't really care what's going on I just care about getting my job done the best that I can possibly do and deal with the other things in my life that take a lot of time and a lot of thought. |
| As you get older, you look at things differently. |
| Just, you never know what the next day is going to bring. That goes for football, goes for off the field, and I gave up a long time ago trying to predict the future and trying to deal with things I couldn't deal with. |
| That's kind of how I approach life and football; why dwell on something that's hasn't happened. |
| My wife, she still gives me a hard time, and says I hunt too much or I like to play golf too much. And she's probably right, but it sure beats some of the things I used to do. |
| I can't believe I survived, not only my life, but I am still playing football 'cause half of those eight or nine years I don't even remember. |
| Life deals you a lot lessons, some people learn from it, some people don't. |
| Well family is obviously the most important. There was a time when I thought football was the most important. |
| In this case, I realize that, unlike when I was 22 years old, I realize now that football will not go on forever, it is a small part of your life. |
| It's fun leading this offense. I don't think we've hit our peak. |
| Sometimes you get caught up in what's going on around you. The reality is that you are just a regular person. At some point, the career will be over, the bright lights turn off. That can come back to haunt you if you're not just a regular guy. |
| I really believe this team has a lot of potential - whether it's this year or in years to come, I don't know. |
| I'm pretty boring really. |
| I consider myself more of a loner now and I think when you get older, especially in this game, and just talking with other players who have come and gone, I see what they were saying when I was a young guy in the locker room. |
| I don't worry anymore about where's the big hangout Tuesday night, Friday. Couldn't tell you and no one comes to me for advice anymore in those areas anymore, so real boring I would say. |
| God, he deals you blows that at sometimes you think you can't handle and in the last year there have been things that we thought we couldn't handle but we've dealt with it up until this point. |
