I'm proud of everything I've done.
In the NFL a lot of times everyone gets caught up in the business side of things. For them it's all about money and it really leaves a sour taste in your mouth.
I accomplished so many things, so early in my career.
Injuries obviously change the way you approach the game.
I don't worry anymore about where's the big hangout Tuesday night, Friday. Couldn't tell you and no one comes to me for advice anymore in those areas anymore, so real boring I would say.
My intention... isn't to create controversy.
In spite of reports about playing with various teams, I'm enjoying retirement with my family and have no plans to play football.
God, he deals you blows that at sometimes you think you can't handle and in the last year there have been things that we thought we couldn't handle but we've dealt with it up until this point.
Yip cabbage on three!
I know I can still play, but it's like I told my wife, I'm just tired mentally. I'm just tired.
It's a difficult job to do, but that is why we do it. Only so many people can do it. But it, it enables you to... for a brief period of time to kind of get away. You have to go back and deal with, but it's a good escape.
I knew I needed surgery and I didn't want to have it and I ended up having it.
With each game I play, each season I play, everyone would agree with me, I'm running out of chances.
Well family is obviously the most important. There was a time when I thought football was the most important.
The town, the team, it's a family. That has helped. For some people who have had to deal with some of the problems I have had to deal with don't have football as an out.
Maybe I'm old-school, but I always thought you honor a contract.
The party now is having my kids laugh and my wife laugh and my teammates. I want them to see me have fun and put it in a different way.
I grew up a Saints fan, an hour from the Superdome.
Nothing, for the most part, surprises me anymore.
I don't need to have a retirement, retire your jersey, all that stuff to solidify my career.
You know I used to listen to music a lot more.
I really believe this team has a lot of potential - whether it's this year or in years to come, I don't know.
I think the 16 years that I spent in Green Bay speaks for itself.
The way I played the game, the way I live my life, is very emotional.
That's kind of how I approach life and football; why dwell on something that's hasn't happened.
Well I would say that we're regular people first of all and we're normal and it's obvious by some of the things that have happened just because our name is famous we're not immune to tragedy.
Even in past years, when I wasn't in the Super Bowl, I wished I was.
I really like all music, but mostly Country, older R&B, and the good classic rock.
I didn't know what to expect coming into this year. There were a lot of question marks, and I think that's obvious now. Can we overcome it? Time will tell.
You know, I've had my ups and downs.
