The way I played the game, the way I live my life, is very emotional.

If I can change than anyone can change. I promise you that.

I didn't know what to expect coming into this year. There were a lot of question marks, and I think that's obvious now. Can we overcome it? Time will tell.

Maybe I'm old-school, but I always thought you honor a contract.

I'm pretty boring really.

In my situation, unlike some players who retire because they have no choice - either teams don't want them or injuries have caused them to retire, and they just can't do it - for me, I really had never thought I would give out mentally before I gave out physically, but I think that was the case.

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