You want hot days to get your fruit ripe but then you want it to cool off nicely at night so that the grapes stay on the vine longer and develop complexity.

Coming back in that AFC Championship Game against the Steelers, that was a poignant moment for me for a lot of reasons - the magnitude of the game and having not been able to play for quite a while and to be able to get on the field for that game. That one stands out.

That's the only reason I'm here. I don't need to play the game for any other reason than to win a championship.

I feel pretty good when I get out of bed in the morning. I don't feel all beat up, which is nice.

The positives of retiring outweighed the positives of returning and my desire to still play.

I kind of picked up the game at an early age. The way that other kids would learn what a fork or a spoon is.

You know, it's a different deal - throwing a football as opposed to throwing a baseball.
