Draft ain't on the regular TV stations. :( You figured they would do something because it is draft day.

It was a pretty good interview. Casserly didn't really interview him as the guy that drafted him, just an NFLN analyist.

They started out with some soundbites of NFLN guys saying how bad the Mario pick was.

Cass asked him about his initial reaction to being the number one pick. He realized that it was for real the moment it was announced.

Mixed reaction from the NY crowd - Being picked number 1 was amazing and that wasn't going to take that away from him.

How do you react to the fact that most wanted VY or Bush - No big deal, people have different opinions.

On being injured most of his first year - Family and players helped him through it.

One year ago, goals for 2007 season - If he can stay healthy things will be better. Just be better for the team and help them win more games.

Opening day TD vs. Cheifs - Very exiting and crazy. Got game ball, gave speech thanking teammates. He couldn't do it without them.

Denver Game, 3 1/2 sacks, crowd chants "Mario, Mario" how are you feeling - Goosebumps, choked up, so much excitement, unbeleivable, game ball, another speech thanking everyone.

Not making probowl - Before the selection he felt "If I go great, if I don't great". He can't control it.

Trying to live up to expectations as far as being the first pick? - No he never has done that, just trying to live up to the expectations that he puts on himself.
