Nobody really wants to hear about anybody else's injuries. Or how your back feels. Whose back doesn't hurt?

Boy, do I hate to lose.

I feel one of the most significant honors a player can have in his sport is to have his number retired. Certainly for me to have that at Tennessee, it's with great pride.

It goes without saying, winning against a good team in a hostile crowd on the road, it's just an absolutely huge win.

I am stronger than I was last year. I am throwing the ball better now in May of 2013 than I did in May of 2012 - significantly better. I got better throughout the season.

If you work hard and you play well, all those critics quiet themselves pretty quickly.

I was never on a mission to be an NFL quarterback. I wanted to be a good high school player, and I worked hard at that. That made me good enough to play in college and then I wanted to be a good college quarterback. During college I played well enough to make it into the NFL. I never took it for granted and really wanted to play hard at each level and I have always had a lot of fun doing what I wanted to do.
