It's really been a better situation for me being with the Crush than it would if I were with the Broncos because this has given me a lot more broad range.

The Arena League is the best thing that could have happened to me because I get to run the whole process. I'm seeing not only the football side but the business side.

The patience that goes with the game, the little things that go along with the game, you have so much more time to think in golf than you do in football - you have to keep your thoughts positive. I'm not sure I've got that mastered.

To be able to get a football team that's capable of competing for world championships, you always got to get a little bit lucky, but you got to have all phases to win it all.

We get done with the game, and it's an absolute downpour 30 minutes later. That's when I thought God was telling me that's enough-time for you to go do something else.

When I retired, I really wanted to spend time with my family and kids. Coaching would have prevented that due to the commitment of the job and travel that goes with it, too.

You always want to have good balance. That's the key to winning a Super Bowl. You look at the teams who have won championships, you got to have balance. So, to be able to run the ball effectively and throw the ball effectively is what gives you the chance to win a world championship.

I've experienced the highest of highs and lowest of lows. I think to really appreciate anything you have to be at both ends of the spectrum.

I always believe there's a reason why you go through everything.

I look at my career and it's still hard for me to believe the way things turned out and how things happened. I've been so blessed.

You learn a lot more from the lows because it makes you pay attention to what you're doing.

I can't compare quarterbacks as apples and oranges in my mind because everybody's in a different system.

I don't have any pangs to where I want to be with the Broncos.

I'm watching the Weather Channel more than I've ever watched it. I'm scared to death it's going to rain.

It's all about putting the best team together - not just in the front office but the players on the field.

Being thrown into the fire and getting the thing turned around in a hurry made it more difficult. Things have been done the hard way. I think you learn better when things are done the hard way.

I've always joked about Joe Montana not appreciating his Super Bowls nearly as much as I do because he never lost one. We lost three before we got one.

As football players you have all the experience on the field. You don't have the experience off the field.

Even when I retired, there was part of me that didn't want to retire. But once you decide it's time to move on then you have to stick with it.

I don't know if I like being the sentimental favorite.
