The Cardinals (brought me to the area). It's really close to home for my wife and I, which is California. It was close to family and a lot of people were able to come see my games. I was able to go to California whenever I really wanted, which was a different story than Boston.

Baseball was something I really enjoyed, growing up. That's all I really played growing up and didn't even play football until high school. I really love being there with my son. Sometimes it's frustrating coaching him because I can get on him a little more than the other kids. He doesn't want to hear it, but that's part of it.

It's something, as I kid, I never really thought I would get there. It wasn't a goal of mine. Then, when it all came around, I really realized it when I got to the Patriots. I was sitting and looking around and realized I was sitting in the same room with Steve Grogan, John Hannah and Sam Cunningham. I couldn't believe I was there, and it's a feeling you really can't describe.

I loved it, and hated to see it all end, but things happen for a reason. (I loved) the whole experience, and it was my first team. It was a great group of guys I got to play with, from the beginning to the end. The only gripe was the weather stayed cold too long. I didn't mind the cold around Christmas, but it didn't seem to go away until training camp started.
