Everybody I talked to - from my friends to my family and some of the players - really gave me a lot of support from the start. And that certainly made me feel good about trying to come back and be one of the best again.

We felt like when we went into last year we had a pretty good chance to win the championship from the previous year with the fall we put together. We've got the same everything now, so I think we can come back and be as strong this year.

I want to be back every year. If I don't go, I want it to be because someone else just was having a great season. I want it to at least be a close call.

It's a long season, and if you can go back and forth pretty well, you'll end up OK.

I hope to play well and get better and better.

I'm healthy and excited to play. And I think this year can be a big year for me if I get the opportunity. I can still play the game. I think I can help a team get to the Super Bowl.

I'm not saying I didn't have ample time to recover, ample time to get to my best, I felt this year I did fine. When I stepped on the field for the national team, I was ready and able to make an impact, to score goals, to create chances.

This year, I feel strong. I'm looking forward to having my best season in the last few years.

When you make the playoffs, it's like you've done your job for the team. I've got that moment in my mind all the time, and I want to be there again.

I just felt all along that if I could get a certain amount of years in the league, have great years and still have my health when I walked away, that would be great.
