Kerry's a talented player who makes every throw there is. I know he took this team to a Super Bowl one year. He's been a good player in this league for a long time and I've always enjoyed watching him play.

We don't have one player or coach on our team who has ever won a Super Bowl. This is the most exciting times of our lives in football.

For me it's because this is the team that everybody picked to go to the Super Bowl. And now it's like they are a cat with nine lives. They continue to bounce back, and everybody continues to still give them more credit than they deserve. This is a chance for us to disprove everybody again and get back on the field and show everybody the Bears are for real.

It's interesting and exciting when your hometown (albeit an adopted hometown) makes the Super Bowl.

I felt fine. I wanted to take all the snaps, but he took me out and I don't argue with the head man about that. But I was making all the throws. I threw some deep ones that actually had too much on them. I have to work on the timing on some of those things, but it felt good throwing.

I've played in loud stadiums before, ... but I don't know that I've played in a place where the team had a reason to dislike me.
