First of all, a player has to know what is banned and what is not banned.

I'm a cocky sumb**itch. That's what makes me such a great player.

I'll tell you, there were only a few games in my career where I was totally oblivious to everything around me, where I was in the zone.

I have a whole different type of lifestyle.

Taking them out of the picture, so to speak, what football really is, the savagery, the core root of football, it doesn't change. It really puts the real in football.

And I tell ya, when I sit in that sound booth and started reading the script and starting to get into the character, man, it's an easy jump for me, because I understand what it's all about.

Football is not part of that lifestyle anymore.
