I didn't alter the footballs in any way

I think I've always tried to be very professional to how I approach the game, my preparation. Every game is important.

My job is to play quarterback, and I'm going to do that the best way I know how, because I owe that to my teammates regardless of who is out there on the field with me.

If you don't play to win don't play at all.

The true competitors, though, are the ones who always play to win.

I don't care about three years ago - I don't care about two years ago. I don't care about last year. The only thing I care about is this week.

As an athlete, when you are on that field and the fans get really engaged and you can feel their energy and passion and true love of the game, it is absolutely a spiritual experience.
