You know, it would have been harder on me had those guys been 10-year vets, ... But they are so young, I just told them that, 'Here's how I snap it and that's where I'm going to keep snapping it.' I pulled rank on them.

and once it leaves their hands it's someone else's problem.

The bottom line on this job is easy, ... If I do it right this Sunday, they'll let me come back and do it again next Sunday.

Seems like it's something different every time, ... Denver had tall guys getting right in the gap. To some degree it was the right spot at the right time. On a wet field, a longer field goal is tough to get the ball up, but you can't fault [Novak]. Sometimes, it's just a gotcha.

I was the running joke in Miami, they were cutting me and recalling me so many times. I had six or seven termination letters, and there were guys who felt so bad for me they were picking my luggage up for me and putting it in my locker each time.

I always, always hated it, ... but I was always the only kid on the team who could do it. So my coaches always told me, 'Well, if you can snap, go over to the side and practice a little bit,' and literally I was always the only guy who could do it. So I did it in pee wee, midget, junior high school, high school, college. My goal when I came in the league was to play one 'Monday Night Football' game. Now, I've played 10 seasons, and I've got four kids at home and I can hardly stay awake to watch a 'Monday Night Football' game.
