C Mike Pouncey

(What did the Ed Block Courage Award mean to you because of what you had to overcome to get it?) – “It’s a great honor to get recognized for it, but 16 has been the only thing that has been on my mind, to be honest with you. I just want to get through Sunday, have my best game of the year and go from there.”

(What will Sunday mean for you?) – “It means everything. All the hard work, it’ll prove that it paid off. All the doubters, the people that doubted me, it’ll be a big middle finger to them.”

(How many doubters do you think there were?) – “(Points) One, two, three four, five, six, seven. (laughter) I like (you). (You) always believed in me. (laughter) But a lot.”

(So, it’s safe to say getting through an entire season was a big goal for you?) – “Yes, it was one of my top goals. It means a lot to me to be able to go out there and play in this game. I want to have my best game of the year.”

(How did you play this year?) – “I already answered that question. You know. Ask the coaches.”

(You seem to have a chip on your shoulder.) – “I’m going to have one for the rest of my career.”

(Because?) – “I just want to prove all you wrong. It’s that simple.”

(Do you still have the Dodge Neon?) – “Yes, I do.”

(Still running?) – “I’m going to fix it up and give it to one of my family members.”

(How’s it run?) – “It runs pretty good. It only tops out at about 55 miles per hour; but other than that … The interior needs to be fixed a little bit. (The) suspension is a little messed up on it and it has zero oil in the tank.”

(Did you get an estimate on how much it’s going to cost?) – “It’s a lot; but I’m doing it just because … I want to do it because Ted (Larsen) gave me the gift and I want to make sure that it’s done the right way.”

(Most important question, how’s the sound system?) – “It doesn’t have one. No AC, no nothing. Nothing. Only thing it does is go in drive and park. (laughter) I don’t think it even has a reverse on there.”
