Slept Quotations

I wanted to write a very simple story about a boy, a wolf, a girl, a bear and a forest, so I thought I might set it in the past.

We still have to work on timing for getting out of the house to do stuff, but we are starting to get the hang of it. The hardest part is getting three kids in and out of seat belts every time I need to go somewhere. The first night they were here, everybody slept except for me. I was too scared and excited. The next night, and each subsequent since then, I slept like a rock. I guess that's the sheer exhaustion from going from one child to three overnight.

We had a generator with us for lights. Even so, half the guys slept outside because it was cooler. The temperatures were over 100 degrees, even at night.

We kind of slept on them down there. We can't afford to do that this time around; their record speaks for itself. We didn't have a chance down there.

When I talked to you guys after the game on Sunday, it was just one of those things where, if you've ever played a team sport, you're down, ... Certainly, I was extremely down. But things get put into perspective. When I get home, I have a little girl and get to spend time with her. It doesn't take away the pain, especially when you watch it on film. But that's the NFL. I don't mean to make light of it but I'll probably throw another one before my career is up. That's just part of it. It's going to happen. I've slept well the last couple of nights. You have to move on. I try to put things behind me. I'm not saying it's not a scar or anything, but you have to learn and move on.

We think he slept on it wrong, and sometimes that can take hours to recover from. At least that's what our medical people told me. Anyway, he's fine.

Even I slept well last night. We actually tried to take it easy so that we didn't feel much pressure. We tried to isolate ourselves from the outside world and told each other that this is the standard we are going to believe in. We are not doing something unusual. We have the merit to perform like this.
