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.

Every day is not perfect. You have your bad days and good days just like anyone else. You do not want to talk to people sometimes. It is normal.

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.

Nothing, for the most part, surprises me anymore.

It's been six years since I have had a drink and I have two girls, and my priorities are a lot different now and I just can't believe I was that guy. And I would not go back, I would not trade the way I am now for anything.

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

That's kind of how I approach life and football; why dwell on something that's hasn't happened.
