Surround yourself with really good people. I think that's an important thing. Because the people you surround yourself are a reflection of you.

I've gotten to know a lot of great people here in all the different sports. It's fun. It's fun to get involved where you live. And this is where I live. I'm a registered voter here. I have my Wisconsin driver's license.

I don't think God cares a whole lot about the outcome. He cares about the people involved, but I don't think he's a big football fan.

As you get older, and this is a young man's game, and people say, 'Well, there's no way I can keep up running the way I'm running; there's no way my arm is going to stay as strong as it is.' It's the challenge of trying to stay in my tip-top shape year in and year out so I can keep playing the way I want to play.
