I'm not going to waste time or energy spent on something I can't control.

I usually take the first batch of some ice cream, eat it, and then about an hour later, at halftime of the Sunday night game, I go after a second serving. So I pretty much get a whole gallon of ice cream Sunday night. It's pretty bad.

It's not a selfish desire, growing a beard, but maybe I need to not have the beard, and it'll bring us more wins.

I'm as loyal as anyone and will do anything for people I respect. But if you don't give that back to me in return, you're dead to me.

They welcomed me like I have been a Raven my whole life. It meant a lot to me. I knew what I could bring to the team, on and off the field.

I've never had surgery. I don't drink. I don't go out. My shoulders, back, legs, hip, they're all fine. I think I bring a lot to a team.

I know what my body can do.

I've been to just one AFC championship game.

I never, ever dreamed that I'd play in the NFL.

It honestly feels like high school or college all over again. You're comfortable; you see the game. You've seen a lot of ups and downs, a lot of good plays and bad plays. They're all in the back of your head. It's all just experience over the years. There are guys that play well as rookies, but it's hard.

I always try to remind myself, when it's tough, when your body's sore and you're hurting, I try to sit back and tell myself, 'Would you rather be doing anything else in the world at this moment?'

It's a blessing to know that the church and the gospel are the same no matter where I go. I can find a church and know the services and feel at home there.

I have noticed a difference in myself spiritually. I have had a better relationship with my wife and kids. It's because I am putting the gospel first. I just wish it hadn't taken me so long to realize it.

When I didn't go to church during my first two years in the NFL, I didn't know how it would impact me as a person. It was hard to go six or seven months without church.

Football is important, but my family and faith are also important, and no matter how good a football player I am, I knew I still needed to be a good member of the church. Having that spiritual connection helped me throughout the season. It brought balance. I felt better about myself and saw improvements in all aspects of my life.

Great night. Phelps got a gold. How sick is that.

I can sit back in 10, 15, 20 years, when I'm sitting with my kids, I'll be able to say that I'm sitting in Ravens Stadium during a game, and I'm watching one of the best swimmers ever win a Gold for the U.S. You know, as you get older, you cherish those kinds of moments.

best game win you

Understanding why we are here, what we are supposed to be doing, relationships, and striving to do more other than play football - when you get understanding like that and apply it, it works wonders.

I love working with the youth. I am just as new to the gospel as lot of the kids, so I get just as much out of it as they do. Just being around them makes it one of the best callings.
