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 grew up a Saints fan, an hour from the Superdome.

There wasn't a better teacher or mentor out there than Reggie White, on or off the field.

There was a time when all I cared about was the next game, the next party, the next tee time.

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

You know I used to listen to music a lot more.

You can lose a game but, I see guys every week including myself, you lose a game, it's a tough loss, you're down, two weeks later you forgot about it. You know it's amazing how down you were, but all of the sudden you're like it never happened.
