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

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

The party now is having my kids laugh and my wife laugh and my teammates. I want them to see me have fun and put it in a different way.

I was serious about retiring the first time, but the first week I was home my wife had SO many chores to do I went back.

I'm proud of everything I've done.

The town, the team, it's a family. That has helped. For some people who have had to deal with some of the problems I have had to deal with don't have football as an out.

In this case, I realize that, unlike when I was 22 years old, I realize now that football will not go on forever, it is a small part of your life.
