Nothing, for the most part, surprises me anymore.

With each game I play, each season I play, everyone would agree with me, I'm running out of chances.

It's all about chemistry. Talent alone won't get it done.

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.

My intention... isn't to create controversy.

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.

I accomplished so many things, so early in my career.
