I have two main reasons for retiring. The first is I can no longer play at a level I was accustomed to in the past. That has been very, very frustrating to me throughout this past year. The second one is realizing my health, along with my family, is the most important thing in the world.

The first few games that we played against some of the teams, the young guys, you know, want a stick sign or photo sign, and I think that they respect what I have achieved throughout my career.

I don't order fries with my club sandwich.

Oh, I did stop smoking a long time ago.

I think the game has opened up, and that's why I decided to come back and try to be a part of it.

Red wine is a great accompaniment to meat.

I'm sorry I didn't feel any better or play any better, but that's what happens at the end of careers.
