But when you lose a family member or something tragic happens, that stays with you forever. You never get over it. Knowing that you have to deal with that for the rest of your life... Football is important, but not as important as you once thought it was.

If you grew up in a household with a football coach who looks like a drill sergeant, you would think you would be tough.

Well I would say that we're regular people first of all and we're normal and it's obvious by some of the things that have happened just because our name is famous we're not immune to tragedy.

I knew I needed surgery and I didn't want to have it and I ended up having it.

I really believe this team has a lot of potential - whether it's this year or in years to come, I don't know.

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

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.
