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...

I, most talented players don’t always succeed. Some don’t even make the team. It’s more what’s inside.

You have to play with the mentality that you are about to lose your job, and that they’re going to talk about ‘The Other Guy’ first. You have to think, ‘I want my name mentioned...

Wisconsin’s a special place.

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.

The way I played the game, the way I live my life, is very emotional.

I’ve seen a lot of people jump on and off my bandwagon.

I don’t need to have a retirement, retire your jersey, all that stuff to solidify my career.

As a coach, they would love to sit there and say, ‘It’s going to be five steps, you’re going to hitch up into a perfect pocket, you’re going to look at number one – no;...

I consider myself more of a loner now and I think when you get older, especially in this game, and just talking with other players who have come and gone, I see what they were...

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...

Every day is not perfect.

Maybe I’m old-school, but I always thought you honor a contract.

I grew up a Saints fan, an hour from the Superdome.

I may be a successful football player, but I feel like such a failure.

I love doing what I do.

Just, you never know what the next day is going to bring. That goes for football, goes for off the field, and I gave up a long time ago trying to predict the future and...

I think my stubbornness, hardheadedness and stupidity is what has allowed me to play for 20 years.

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...

In my situation, unlike some players who retire because they have no choice – either teams don’t want them or injuries have caused them to retire, and they just can’t do it – for me,...

In this case, I realize that, unlike when I was 22 years old, I realize now that football will not go on forever, it is a small part of your life.

I know I’m not doing myself any favors by continuing to play.

Nothing, for the most part, surprises me anymore.

I think every player should think that he’s a difference maker.

If I’m going to play, it’s going to be 100-percent commitment.

My wife, she still gives me a hard time, and says I hunt too much or I like to play golf too much. And she’s probably right, but it sure beats some of the things...

And having a strong family, you know we’ve lost some members of our family and had some setbacks, but I think a good family and kids all those things I thought at one time… you...

I think people have all faced decisions at times where you never know.

I really believe this team has a lot of potential – whether it’s this year or in years to come, I don’t know.
