Im ritual free, Brady said. I make sure I dont have rituals. My ritual is to outwork my opponent.
I have to get it cut every two to three weeks to keep it like this, Underwood said. It took about an hour to complete, but it was worth it.
Like most people interviewed, they were delighted with the way their first Media Day experience turned out, joining more than 7,000 ns who paid $25 for general admission.
No, were both big Colts ns, to tell you the truth, Dotson said.

That shrimp was spicy, Sanchez said. Its a different kind of spice. I taste hot peppers all the time, but this was more like a wasabi, very intense sort of heat. But I really enjoyed it.
Well, then we dont need to be interviewed, she said. Oh well, I guess we can go now.
My view of what Ive seen so r has been nothing but spectacular, Sanchez said. In season three of my show Heat Seekers, I would imagine Indianapolis is going to be on our radar. I know were holding out for Indianapolis. Ive proposed it, and its just a matter of it happening.
Not a chance. No offense, sir, but I dont think that would have gone over too well in our locker room, he said.
There are always interesting people asking questions on the field at Media Day. Tuesday was clearly no exception.Pick Boy, who wouldnt provide his real name, from the Nickelodeon TV network, walked around in tights and a cape, interviewing players and coaches.
Before the first question was out of Lukes mouth, Brady said to him: Why arent you in school? Its Tuesday.
Asked about his impressions of Indianapolis, Pick Boy had a quick thought. So r, it has been awesome. Tall buildings, nice weather and a Super Bowl game on Sunday. Whats not to like?
Luke then introduced his teacher before continuing with his question about Bradys game-day rituals.
