I have the biggest sweet tooth! You name it, I will eat it. My all-time favorite is my mother's butter cake. Every time I go home, my mom will already have the cake made because I love it so much....

Growing up, we had 30, 40, 50 people coming through the house some Thanksgivings. Sometimes there was a kids' table; other times, the plate was just sitting on your lap. You get in where you fit in at...

That's one of the great things about Thanksgiving: Football's on!

As an athlete, you're brought up with that mentality that you finish everything you start. If you're going to start a meal, you're going to finish it until the plate is clean. I had to change that...

Even though I'm not with their mother, it's important for my kids to see adults in a committed and happy relationship. They need to see a strong relationship. You don't have to settle.

At the same time, it makes me feel like I have to prove myself to the new guys coming in as well as prove myself to the coaching staff, which is a good bit of motivation for me.

They don't tell you how to be on TV - they put the camera on you, and they turn it on, and you sink or swim.

So I'd rather have a defense that's successful where everyone's comfortable in their positions.

I'm not perfect; I've never professed to be, and I don't want to be. How much fun is that?

My craziest ambition is to take John Madden's job and salary.
