I feel like I've always played within the rules. I would never do anything to break the rules. I believe in fair play.

You put all the other stuff aside and go out and do your job, and mine is to be the best I can be for my teammates.

I didn't alter the footballs in any way

I see so many guys, really athletic guys, wearing pleats and I just shake my head. Like, Tiger Woods used to wear pleated pants! I'm like, 'C'mon, Tiger!'

I think I have a certain respect for people, you know. And I guess a lot of times I expect that respect to go both ways.

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

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