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.

It is the best feeling in the world to have a close game come down to just a couple of plays and you are able to do it.

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

We're phenomenally blessed in the Walla Walla Valley. We have great, complex soil that's nutrient-rich but fairly porous.

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.

Playing in New England and the Boston area, the fans are so passionate about their sports if you don't play well, they'll let you know so I know it's not something that they take lightly.

The amount of work and the amount of both physical and emotional investment it takes to get to the top.
