So what the hell are you wearing in this photo?
I bought the robe when I was over in Dubai as part of a USO tour. We did eight countries in 31 days.

Do you think you're the only NFL player spearing an elk on his website?
I would absolutely say I am. Probably not too many people in the world have that video.

It was scary to watch you follow a blood trail.
I picked up my tracking skills when I shot a deer at sundown with some guys from Wisconsin. Their blood-finding skills were amazing. It stands out pretty good against green leaves, but in that dry 
stuff it gets tough.

You also train in mixed martial arts. Are you just a lethal weapon?
I can handle myself on the street just fine. My game really elevated once I began doing MMA training—my hand-eye coordination and my hand-fighting skill.

You once said you wanted to fight Jose Canseco. Does that offer still stand?
It’s not so much that I want to fight; it’s just the guy code. You never turn your back on your friends. And you don’t throw other athletes under the bus so you can make a buck.

That's tough talk, yet one of your favorite songs is "Careless Whisper" by Wham! What gives?
Are you kidding me? George Michael frickin’ dominates that song! I love the late ’70s and early ’80s. Modern-day music pretty much sucks.

What makes your playlist?
“Jessie’s Girl,” obviously. “T.N.T.” by AC/DC. Oh, dude! Manfred Mann’s “Blinded by the Light” has the greatest line: “Mama always told me not to look into the eyes of the sun.”

But that's where the fun is!
Those guys were rock stars. I’m a huge Hall and Oates fan, too.

Imagine an alternate universe where Adrian Peterson is barreling toward you. What happens?
Just what happened when I played against AP my last year in Kansas City—I made him fumble twice in a row. He’s a hell of a player, though. Out of all the teammates I’ve had, he’s the one guy who’s an absolute superstar. He’s so much fun to watch and a good dude.

You were the guy chasing Dan Orlovsky during his ridiculous safety last year. Was that the weirdest thing you've seen a QB do?
Yeah. He just ran out of the back of the end zone. I pointed to the ground and started cracking up. That was the easiest sack I’ve ever gotten in my life, but I got crap for it. Everyone was like, “That was a gift.” I was like, “Hey, maybe you should’ve been faster.”

Is it immature that we still giggle because you wear number 69?
Hell, no! That shit is hilarious. And it fits my personality.

As does the mullet. Can you put its power into words?
The mullet is basically Captain Planet. Earth, wind, fire, water, and heart all come together. When the powers combine, the mullet just shines through, and it’s like a halo around you.

Does it help with the ladies?
I’m seeing a girl right now, but nothing super serious. I need to date a B-list celebrity. Get caught at Dairy Queen and be in a cheesy picture on the front page of the Enquirer.

What's the first thing you thought when the Brett Favre rumors started?
I’m going to ask Brett who I need to get with over at Wrangler, because that’s all I wear. I need to start getting in Wrangler ads.

Could you pull a Favre at the end of your career?
When my body can’t take it and my heart’s not in it, I’ll shut it down. There’s just something about walking out of that tunnel on Sunday. You look in your teammates’ eyes and you see other men willing to go to battle with you. I think that’s what you miss. But when I decide something’s going to happen, I just go. I’ll be the guy who disappears into the mountains.
