In spite of reports about playing with various teams, I'm enjoying retirement with my family and have no plans to play football.

If you grew up in a household with a football coach who looks like a drill sergeant, you would think you would be tough.

Even in past years, when I wasn't in the Super Bowl, I wished I was.

Every game I've ever played, regardless if it was pre-season or Super Bowl, meant the same to me, and I laid it all on the line.

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 think my stubbornness, hardheadedness and stupidity is what has allowed me to play for 20 years.

I don't need to have a retirement, retire your jersey, all that stuff to solidify my career.
