I want a life after football. I want to be around. I know (gastric bypass surgery) is a risk, but I'll be all right. My wife is a nurse and she'll take care of me. I just know that I can't be like this forever.

When I was watching a football game, there was clearly a risk aversion going on. These teams are dwelling on the bad thing that can happen. In backgammon, I've got no qualm about putting the entire match on the line if it's the optimal decision. If I've got to put it all on the line right here and now, let's do it.

I still feel very good about our team. I still think we're going to be a much-improved football team, ... We can talk about it all we want. Now we have to go out and prove it.

Having the football players is a big bonus. They're crucial because they lift all year long.

He's a good football player. He'll probably play a little more.
