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

I've always been privileged to play for Coach Belichick, who I've always said is the best coach in the history of the league.

When you hang with a bunch of 300-pound linemen, you tend to find the places that are the greasiest and serve the most food.

My sisters like cooking at my place. It has a bit more room, and the food tastes a little bit better. A big pot of spaghetti and sauce, some warm French bread - works all the time. I think I've been eating pasta for 26 years.

I play a complicated position in an intensely team-oriented game.

Matt Damon is a great actor, and he's from Boston, so we've got a few things in common. I've seen him throw a football, though. He definitely needs to work on that.

Fortunately for a quarterback, you can play for a long time because you don't get hit very often.
