I never wanted our players to think the Super Bowl was the ultimate. I always talk about 'Yes, we're going to win, but what are we going to do as we're winning? What are we going to do after we win?' Winning the Super Bowl is not the destination. It's not an end point. It's what you do from here.

When it's over, it's over is part of football's greatest appeal to me. When a game ends, win or lose, it's time to prepare for the next one.

Success is uncommon and not to be enjoyed by the common man. I'm looking for uncommon people because we want to be successful, not average.

As a father of seven kids, and been a kid myself at one point, I realize you don't always make the best decisions every time out. And life is a learning experience.

What's important is not the uniform or the number, and it's not what team you play for or whether anyone else sees your value it's who you are on the inside. And when you're in Christ, that's never going to change.

What's important is not the accolades and memories of success but the way you respond when opportunities are denied.

Football is a vocation and an opportunity for ministry. But it's not a life.

It's about the journey--mine and yours--and the lives we can touch, the legacy we can leave, and the world we can change for the better.

What will people remember us for? Are other people’s lives better because we lived? Did we make a difference? Did we use to the fullest the gifts and abilities God gave us? Did we give our best effort, and did we do it for the right reasons?
