When I retired in 2002 I had retired to stay home with my family and didn't necessarily think my playing days were over.

I obviously have a lot of love and affection for the people of Hamilton from playing there for so long.

The opportunity to go up to Canada and play was just a blessing for me and my family.

I think the Canadian Football League is a great league, but it's not the NFL, and I'm not Jerry Rice.

We knew the people in Natick and knew the teachers that would be teaching our children. It was important for us to be involved in the Natick community because we think so highly of it.

I have been retired for 4 days now.
