I don't dream football. I dream the American Dream - two cars in a garage, be a happy father.

I quit because I didnt feel like the Detroit Lions had a chance to win. It just killed my enjoyment of the game.

I really love peace and quiet.

According to the United Nations' latest count, of the approximately 3,000 languages spoken in the world today, only some 78 have a literature. Of those 78, a scant five or six enjoy a truly international audience.

Maybe a good rule in life is never become too important to do your own laundry.

It's hard to win in the NFL. You have to maintain a very delicate balance putting together the right team to be able to win and have any amount of success.

My desire to exit the game is greater than my desire to remain in it. I have searched my heart through and through and feel comfortable with this decision.
