I was the kid that was the 199th pick that never had the body for it. People didn't think I'd play one year in the NFL, and now I'm going on my 17th year.
I know when people say I'm some sort of Cinderella Man that it's meant as a compliment. I appreciate that, but to be totally honest, it doesn't feel like one, because it isn't true.
We were over-whelming underdogs.
I've been the underdog in my life since I was a kid.
All of the major accomplishments that I have made in my career have been in many instances against the odds.
The possibility that a provincial town could win the League completely bucks the trend.
The other guys, all they have to do is use their big butts and big python arms to hit homers. Me, I'm the little guy in the group. People always root for the little guy.
It's nice when little teams win.
When we went up against teams that were better, I just hoped that we could steal the victories.
