I like skiing and surfing with kids. They are the cutest little skiers out there, in their little outfits. I just want to eat ’em up!
I don’t care about three years ago – I don’t care about two years ago. I don’t care about last year. The only thing I care about is this week.
As athletes, we think we’re heroes, but when you witness firsthand what I saw yesterday, you realize who the real heroes are.
Matt Damon is a great actor, and he’s from Boston, so we’ve got a few things in common. I’ve seen him throw a football, though. He definitely needs to work on that.
It’s never come easy for me. I don’t think my mind allows me to rest ever. I have, I think, a chip on my shoulder, and some deep scars that I don’t think were healed.
I think it’s a feeling like I’ve got it all figured out. There’s nothing that can shock me anymore. There’s nothing I haven’t anticipated; so at that point, there is a calmness.
I don’t think there’s a lot of carry-over from year to year. I don’t think anybody cares what you did the year before.
It’s an incredible play, and not only that, that’s the type of plays Malcolm makes for our team.
If you waste your time and energy on things that don’t matter in the outcome of the game, then when you get to the game you’re not going to give your teammates the best that you have to offer.
Every quarterback can throw a ball; every running back can run; every receiver is fast; but that mental toughness that you talk about translates into competitiveness.
Whenever I see Michael Jordan I’m still blown away because he was such a hero of mine growing up.
Derek Jeter is one who played for such a long time, and David Ortiz in Boston is doing it right now.
Fortunately for a quarterback, you can play for a long time because you don’t get hit very often.
I don’t know what I believe. I think there’s a belief system, I’m just not sure what it is.
I think so highly of people who love their sport and make a really strong commitment to it.
When you hang with a bunch of 300-pound linemen, you tend to find the places that are the greasiest and serve the most food.
I’m much more comfortable and confident running out on the field in front of 70,000 people instead of standing in front of a camera trying to say some lines.
My mom was a great tennis player, and I remember being six or seven years old watching Steffi Graf and Monica Seles in Wimbledon in my house. I’ve always been a tennis fan.
With football, you can have up to 28 guys you consider starters, and if they can pick up the slack when some aren’t playing so well, you don’t have to turn those two-game losing streaks into six-game losing streaks.
You don’t like to see your guys take the field without you because it makes you feel like, man, maybe they really don’t need me out there, which is kind of humbling.
