“So many times through the course of a season you are defined by your backups. They have three players in [Kirk] Cousins, Niles [Paul] and [Bashaud] Breeland who may be better than the players that they’re replacing.”

J.J. Watt, he does on defense what Andrew Luck does on offense. He inspires those around him, he makes them better.

Perception is reality, but it may not be actuality, and you have got to be able to keep the difference between that.

Kirk Cousins is the future of the Washington Redskins.

My mother’s sister was killed in a trolley car accident, so I was raised as one of eight with my sister and six male cousins.

My mum had a cousin that had played when he was younger.

However, I was very conscious of the fact that both sides of my family were drastically different and my aunts, cousins, and uncles varied in different shades of brown.

My family has always had Cape Verdean pride but I don’t think it was something the kids in the family necessarily understood.
