I consider myself a leader of this football team, along with a lot of other guys.

I'm excited about the opportunity to get out there and show not only what I can do but, more importantly, what this team can do with me in there.

You prepare. You study. You've got to be ready for anything.

I'm getting better every day.

I grew up on the game.

You want to be playing your best in December and hopefully it'll carry over into January.

I've been calling plays in the huddle since I was seven.

All writers, all storytellers, are imposing their own narrative on something.

All the sparrows on the rooftops are crying about the fact that the most imperialist nation that is supporting the colonial regime in the colonies is the United States of America.

Youth longs and manhood strives, but age remembers.

Doing all the little tricky things it takes to grow up, step by step, into an anxious and unsettling world.
