Everything to me is about team football, and if we keep winning Super Bowl trophies, I'll be fine.
With United, we'd all grown up together, we all wanted to win the biggest trophy in football. We did it togther.
Baseball players are smarter than football players. How often do you see a baseball team penalized for too many men on the field?
