“I can catch the ball. You’ve got to throw it to me.”

He didn’t move a muscle, not one inch, and he didn’t drop one tear. I tell you that and you are probably like, “Wow, how is that even possible?”

I have to continue to be a great leader and contribute in any way that I can, and get guys to follow suit.

I understand that my son loves me and I love him, and everything just really got blown out of proportion, and I’m OK with that.

To me, when you got a 20-year-old running back or 21-year-old receiver that’s just coming out of college and you’re out working these guys.

But I’m still from the country. I love my fried food and my neck bones and all that, too.

I want to win four or five championship rings. That’s how I dream. I dream big.

So it’s a lot of different things that I do. I don’t want to overload the body too much, but when we do the hill, it’s not like workouts.

It’s modern-day slavery.

When I go out on the field, I just put it in my mind that I’m playing for my family.

When I’m out, maybe I’m looking at the fried chicken, but I know I need to order the grilled.

It’s not like I had to throw the football and deal with that as well.

We are human, so we do go through pain and we struggle with things, but it’s all about how you respond to a situation.

But as far as the parenting lesson, no [I understood that]. To me it was so simple, it was a situation where I disciplined my child and it didn’t turn out the way I wanted.

Thankfully, I’m lucky enough to be able to eat ice cream.

At the end of the day, nine times out of 10, they are going to win.

Older guys, and even younger guys, are asking me questions and [they] ask me about how to handle situations.

Because I’m fairly big, I like to use my body. So I’ll control the ball, even when there’s a player on me, and then I’ll pass.

It will always be the ball and me.

A gun is no more dangerous than a cricket bat in the hands of a madman.

I don’t need the best hairstyle or the best body. Just give me a ball at my feet and I’ll show you what I can do.

With a bat and ball in my hand. Do I need anything else? Love for the game can never end.

I just keep it simple. Watch the ball and play it on merit.

If you’ve got them by the balls, their hearts and minds will follow.

Money is not a motivating factor. Money doesn’t thrill me or make me play better because there are benefits to being wealthy. I’m just happy with a ball at my feet.
