I normally don't initiate conversations with guys unless they want to talk about certain things - when I'm at the facility, I'm there to play football. If you want to talk about the meaning of life, games, whatever, I'm more than happy to, but when I'm in that building, I'm being paid to play football. Conversely, when I'm not at the facility, that's my life to live.

Well, if you count my phone as an access point (which I do), I'm pretty much constantly online unless I'm at an event or practice or something.

As a business you should probably be examining, hey, is this the type of message we want to send?

My numbers and my stats were exactly the same. I was doing what the coaches wanted me to do. And what I had been doing up to that point was enough to get me a very well-paying contract with the Vikings. ... In my mind there was only one thing that had changed from the year before and the year I got cut: And that was I started speaking out in support of same-sex rights.

I won't feel that I failed. I'll be a little disappointed in the NFL.

Never be afraid to do what's right. If no one ever says anything, nothing ever changes.

I first started using the internet back when a 14.4 modem was considered fast. I think I was about 11 or 12, and it fascinated me that you could look at all these different things on your computer.
