If you're a quarterback, you want everything on your shoulders. You want to be the one to make the decisions.

I have no knowledge of anything.

What strikes me most about Best Buddies International is the simplicity and magnitude of the mission. Friendship is a simple idea.

Losing sucks, and especially to the Jets.

I don't want to wake up and be bored. That's probably my greatest fear is to have nothing to do. What better job is there than to play quarterback for an NFL team, and certainly one that I've been on for a long time and had success with? I don't plan on giving it up any time soon.

But when Gronk scores - it was like his eighth touchdown of the year - he spikes the ball and he deflates the ball. I love that, because I like the deflated ball. But I feel bad for that football, because he puts everything he can into those spikes.

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.
