I can say it for them -- I'm not talking about the refs, so you can't fine me. Somebody may not be my friend; I'm tired of whispering.

I've never been through that type of devastation as an athlete.

I wasn't on the field, but if I was, I probably would have been suckered like everybody else, so don't let me lie to you. I've never gotten over it. It felt like Alice in Wonderland ; you just did not believe this was happening. As I'm watching, I wanted to push pause so the whole world would stop.

I'm sure half [the players] will say it's the coach's decision ...

Rusty. We could see it.

He has to have some peace of mind this year that he throw a couple interceptions, have a bad play or two, and still know he'll be in the game. He won't have to deal with all the political pressures he dealt with the last few years in Buffalo. We had a little civil war going on up there.

For that guy to do what he did against us at his age is uncivilized.

My desire is to play as a pass-rushing defensive end on third down. If the opportunity to do that doesn't exist in Dallas, I don't want to be in Dallas.

As long as there was an NFL game on, especially the one Tennessee was in, it hurt bad to watch.
