I got a lot of the greatest values in life from playing sports, from playing football - teamwork, sportsmanship, my work ethic, resiliency, dedication - I got it all by being on a team.

Some guys, nothing bothers them. Eli Manning is one of those players.

Some of the best tape that I've ever studied was Mike Shanahan and John Elway in Denver, back-to-back Super Bowl win teams.

All it takes is one coach that believes in you.

I show up in a playoff game, I have my sideline sheet. I can't even spit plays out, I get so excited. I mean, you get nervous. These are critical, do-or-die situations. Third down and 1, Red Zone, what do I call? Two minute drill? Are we going to go no huddle? These are decisions that you wrestle with.

I've been hitting up Hooters since 1983, and I can assure you nothin' says football season is here quite like watching the game on wall-to-wall flat screen TVs with the smell of Hooters world-famous chicken wings in the air and an ice-cold beer in your hand, served up with one-and-only Hooters hospitality, of course.

I don't want to look at myself like I'm some superhero. But I'm not going to let people wipe their feet on football on my chest.

Inches matter. That's why they measure first downs. That's why they have a crew down there with those chains.

I don't know what's going to happen in the future; I just know this: I'm going to continue to give my best effort to the game, stay prepared.
