I'm very proud of it because I take my job very, very seriously. And to work as hard as I have and to play as long as I have and not to miss a game, I think is a pretty remarkable statistic, I don't care if you are a punter. I look at (defensive end) Jim Marshall and look at how many games he played in a row and it's even more remarkable.

It will be nice to be in the record books, I guess, but it's not really a great big deal.
