On offense, you can fumble and they still talk about you.

Everybody who I play always wants to use me, so I always tell them that I'm the only one who knows how to stop Portis, so go ahead.

Every day I wake up, I say, 'Damn, I hope I don't get that call today.' I don't want to lose my mama. When I start thinking about that, I fall into a hole.
