As an athlete, you figure you work your whole life to have what you have, and to be able to show the world what you have and how proud you are of it, that's always fun.

I have no room in my life for any form of negativity or nonacceptance.

The money is what made me miserable. I want to be free of that stress.

I like to live in places that are kind of off in the cuts so people can't really find me even if they wanted to.

I wouldn't eat a chicken if it dropped dead in front of me holding up a sign that said, Eat Me.

I'm closer to being happy. I'm doing things that make me happy. In football I loved to practice and I loved to play, but I hated to be in meetings, hated to talk to the media, hated to have cameras in my face, hated to sign autographs. I hated to do all those things.

The NFL has been an amazing page in this chapter of my life. I pray that all successive adventures offer me the same potential for growth, success and most importantly fun.
