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

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.

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 don't worry anymore about where's the big hangout Tuesday night, Friday. Couldn't tell you and no one comes to me for advice anymore in those areas anymore, so real boring I would say.

If I'm going to play, it's going to be 100-percent commitment.

My job is to throw passes and be a leader.

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