It was fun to watch Tom work. He took it to another level the whole fourth quarter.

It's nice to have a situation where you can make it fun.

I live for the Red Sox. I thoroughly enjoy them. For whatever reason, baseball has been a lot more fun for me in recent years. I loosely follow the Patriots and I root for them. I loosely follow the Celtics and then it gets to playoff time and I don't miss a game. Same with the Bruins. I'm not the diehard fan anymore.

The trouble is that right now I want to put as much work into football as I can. It's very important for me to get off to a good start. By the same token, I feel a responsibility to handle the media and those sort of things.

Football is my profession now. I'm getting married in August... It's a new experience for me as someone just getting out of college. I still have the same attitude about football I always had. I play hard. I enjoy practice. I'd rather be throwing in passing drills than sitting around and watching TV.

I think it's actually easier for me to simulate him than it would be a Peyton Manning, ... but you can't do it to the full extent. You can't stand there flat-footed and sling the thing 65, 70 yards off your back foot, or when you take off and run.
