If we win the Super Bowl, they can't stop my family from getting on the field. We'll be all right. I've got about $80,000 in fine money that I'll be able to afford.

I've always wanted to have a career that my kids would be able to see me play and understand what I did.

I don't care what you do in life. To say that that year I was the absolute best, especially when you're in a team sport - and I have more of a personality that I wished I would've played an individual sport - to win a championship, to get 60 people and focused in one direction and do it over a seven-month period is phenomenal.

To me, I look at situations and try to look back and see if there was anything I could have done.

I believe there is a certain way to do things.

Any time you roll up a corner and you have a safety standing behind him helping out the corner, it's frustrating for any player.

The difference between an 8-8 team and a team that goes 12-4 is not that much, and I think we realize that.

Normally the teams that are in the NFC and AFC championship games are the teams that are going to be right there in the forefront as the season begins.

Lynn Swann - I loved the way he was like a ballerina playing in the NFL.

I think there's been a myth that QBs makes the WRs but it works hand and hand. QBs need good WRs to throw to in order to be great and WRs need good QBs to throw to them in order to be great.

Before, when going to youth camps, the line for QBs would be around the corner. Now, kids want to be either QBs or WRs. Being a WR is popular, it's cool.

People tend to look at mental health differently than physical health. If someone tears their ACL, we don't expect them to run 30 yards for a touchdown. They need to be treated and have the time to rest and heal, It's the same thing for mental health.

The Vikings saw something in me, and I will forever be grateful for that. They saw me as someone who, with the right help, could really succeed.

The one thing you have to address with Randy Moss is not a conditioning thing. It's not an age thing. It needs to be addressed. I believe it's the elephant in the room. It's that thing called quit. And Randy, not like any other superstar I've met, he has more quit in him than any of those other players.

Great players, they don't get hurt as much as the other players.

Hey, a hard background is not an excuse.

I grew up in small-town America, black, disadvantaged.

I'm supposed to make plays.

I come from some humble beginnings, and I just believed that when people pay their money, hard-earned money, that they deserve a certain level of performance.

I think it would be tough for a lot of the athletes that I play with to think that while that I'm showering, that I'm performing on the field, I'm bleeding, I'm fighting with a person that is a homosexual.

I think there would be situations that will occur on the field that would be tough for a person who is homosexual, because I know there will be people definitely taking shots at him.

In life, we always make the right decisions the second time around, you know?

It's hard to believe that in the year 2001 I'd still be running touchdowns.

Don't get me wrong, I would love to be voted into the Hall of Fame. But if I don't get in, that's not the end of the world. I am surrounded by my loved ones, and being with them, going through this journey with them, makes me extremely happy.
