What's in your iPod? "Foo Fighters."

Bookmarks? "My favorite Web sites? I check the sports Web sites like NFL.com. A hobby of mine is fixing up my backyard in Phoenix. I always have a question why a plant is sick or something like that, so I've got some plant Web sites on there, too."

Favorite movies? "I like comedies, some action movies. I'd have to say 'Unforgiven' is up there. Also, 'Talladega Nights' and 'As Good As It Gets.'"

Favorite meals? "Pizza and buffalo wings, every type of pizza. California pizza, Chicago style, Italian style, I love it all."

Who would play you in a movie? "Denzel Washington."

Who would be your sidekick in a movie? "Will Ferrell."

Teammates you admire most? "QB Kurt Warner, for what he's done with his career, where he's come from and what he's had to play through. And SS Adrian Wilson for a lot of the same reasons. For being smart, tough, physically, I don't know if there's anyone as physically gifted as Adrian Wilson. He's unbelievable."

If you could have dinner with any three people in history, who would it be? "Jesus Christ, Ben Franklin and Thomas Jefferson. I'm a history guy, so I'd be curious to talk to them."

Favorite place to eat in Tampa? "Columbia Restaurant. I hope to make it there this trip."
