I'm smart enough to know when I've done something wrong, but I don't understand this. Guys are beating their wives, getting DUIs and doing drugs, and I get national attention for a Sharpie? People are personally attacking me, calling me a classless asshole because I did something creative during a game. Why?

Exposure is exposure, whether it's good or bad. But you know what? You live and you learn, and I know who to trust and who not to trust. I'm in control of what I'm in control of, and that's me coming in here and being productive on the field. And as long as I'm keeping my nose clean and doing the right thing, then I'm OK.

I feel like I'm a basketball player in a football uniform.

I may not say it all the time or I may not pray as much as I need to, but I am not forgetting where I came from and how I got to be where I am today.

There has to be a beginning somewhere and my thing is that I am going to give it all I got.

You have a white guy as an announcer and sportscaster. Me, I'm black. I do it and I've already done some stuff in the past. We're more expressive than the white guys. You look at the skill players. We're the ones that get into the end zone. We get in the end zone more than they do.

It doesn't matter what people say about me, whether they're in Philly, or whether they're in San Francisco... all across the world.
