The only thing I really like doing during the week is getting ready to play the game.

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

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

Is it going to make me feel any better to make an extra million? That million might be more important to the team.

I've had just about everything punched. I've had things grabbed that just shouldn't be grapped.

It's just part of whatever motivates guys and whatever they say. Ultimately it comes down to how well you play. What I've learned over the years, a lot of guys talk. What you need to do is go out there and play, back it up. They've been able to back it up, so that's why it works for them. Hopefully we can go out there and do our talking on the field.

Athletes are always talking about money at a time when everyone else is struggling so badly to make it. We all make way more than our fair share. And I just think it reflects poorly on myself and my teammates. I really do just want to win, and that has and will continue to be the reason that motivates me and is the biggest factor in my decision-making process.
