When you have two busy kids running around the house, returning e-mails is a task, let alone surfing the web.

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

That taught me how to work harder. I learned all about mental toughness on the practice field. If things weren't working out for me in high school, in college, early in my pro career, my solution was always to work harder and internalize. That way, whenever I got an opportunity, I was always prepared. See, there are a lot of guys who are all talk. They say they want to work harder and be the best, but they never pay the price. I love paying the price.

I think so highly of people who love their sport and make a really strong commitment to it.

I'm a pretty good winner. I'm a terrible loser. And I rub it in pretty good when I win.

To me, football is so much about mental toughness, it's digging deep, it's doing whatever you need to do to help a team win and that comes in a lot of shapes and forms.

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