As athletes, we think we're heroes, but when you witness firsthand what I saw yesterday, you realize who the real heroes are.

This is really a dream come true. To be the starting quarterback in the Super Bowl is probably the highlight of my life.

The only thing I ever wanted to be was a professional football player.

I love playing football. I love playing for the Patriots.

I'm pretty chirpy. I can talk a little too much smack.

I'm not a person who defends myself very often. I kind of let my actions speak for me.

Everybody has an opinion. I think everybody has the right to believe whatever they want. I don't ever cast judgment on someone's belief system.
