conscious guys people saw showing sick somebody tv
You've got to be very conscious of what people see. If I saw somebody every day, I would get sick of them. Most guys think, 'If I can get on TV every day and give that quote, I'm going to be golden.' It's not about that. It's about showing people you can be yourself.
everybody firing guy jumping keeps loose relaxation telling therapist
I've always been the locker-room jokester, the fun guy, the guy who keeps it loose and easy. But also, on Sundays, the guy in that huddle jumping up and down, telling guys, 'Hey, get it going. Let's go.' Firing everybody up. So I'm part relaxation therapist and part Red Bull.
award build drafted inferior left locker opportunity step stick time win won
By the time I left college, I had won every award you could win - I was Mr. Man! Then I got drafted by the Giants, and you step in that locker room, and you feel inferior in every way. You just have to stick around long enough to give yourself the opportunity to build your confidence.
burn free hearing people time tires truth warning
Thing is, I don't really like free time. People are always warning me that I'm going to burn out. But the truth is, the only thing that tires me out is hearing people tell me that.
bob broke brothers call laugh reach stands time wallet
My brothers used to call me Bob. They'd laugh at me, and I didn't get it. I'm 13 years old at the time, and then one day my brother's friend says, 'You know what Bob stands for? 'Booty on back.' You're fat.' Like my butt was so big I could reach for my wallet over my shoulder. And I broke down.
I'm not perfect; I've never professed to be, and I don't want to be. How much fun is that?
almost body goes hip hurdles knee leg move split tells trainer
I hate leg exercises. I hate one-legged squats. I hate the hurdles and the split squats. I hate all the leg exercises. I know they help me, and I'm able to move around and don't have knee problems, and my hip doesn't hurt anymore, but when my trainer tells me I have to do them, I almost feel like my body goes into convulsions.

The great thing coming from sports is you understand the concept of a team. It leaves no room for being selfish, and that's something I picked up from home.

This team is one of those teams that you are going to have to stay until the end of the game to see exactly what happens.
chance fact game great happy hopefully incredible pass rush simple start took win
Tuck was great. Those things he did at the end were incredible for the simple fact that it took them out of field-goal range. That was huge. They had a chance to win the game if that hadn't happened. I'm very happy to see that. One thing you can't have enough of is a great pass rush and hopefully this is the start of a great career.
fun good great guy players serious time tom winning
Tom Coughlin is great with the players and he is what you see with the media. He's a good guy and he's a fun guy, but at the same time he's a serious guy when it comes to winning and it comes to football.
across friend guy guys playing step trying win
We're sympathetic, but once you step on the field, football's football. That guy across from me is not trying to be my friend once we're out there, and I'm not trying to be his, either. We're playing to win. We're not going out there to put on a show and let these guys win the game.
