"In Dallas, I haven't done it there, so there definitely will be some questions. That's understandable. They'll question my size, but I've been dealing with that all my career. They'll question my health, which is fine with me. It should be questioned. They'll question my age. I wouldn't put myself or the team in a situation where I didn't feel like I couldn't make a difference. If I felt like I'd lost a step, I would've retired this year." -Zach ThomasDallas News: Dallas Cowboys' Thomas To Prove Worth Again
