February 3, 2011 - Press Conference1005 viewsâ€œI think you always strive to get better and perform the way and the ability you want to. You either improve or deteriorate, and I never want to go backwards. Iâ€™m always trying to get better. I figure that as you become more of a veteran in this league, and you play more games, things start to slow down and get more comfortable. I think itâ€™s kind of natural that you would start to play better football as you keep going.â€ -- On whether he feels that he is at the "top of his game".

February 3, 2011 - Press Conference1287 views"It was superstition and tradition. Tuesday night I take my linemen out to dinner and we went to a great barbeque spot. We went there and wanted to listen to some live music, so we went to a piano bar. We just had an enjoyable night. We go to dinner a lot during the regular season. The tradition for the Super Bowl is that I take the guys out one night and they get to pick. Usually itâ€™s a steakhouse or something. They wanted to go to a barbeque place this time, so it was really good." -- On taking his O-Line out on Tuesday night.

February 3, 2011 - Press Conference999 viewsBen takes a picture of media members before the questions start....

â€œIt can be overwhelming. To do this every day and answer the same questions over and over can be very overwhelming. You have to find a way to kind of go to your happy place and deal with it and enjoy it. I know what Aaron is going through with it being his first time. Every time it gets a little bit easier because you know what to get used to and you know what it is. People think that its going to be a big difference for the Packers team because it is there first time, but once you get on the field and the ball is kicked off, itâ€™s just football. You may have a little extra jitters. Aaron is a good enough player that he should be able to put that all behind him and play.â€ -- On what he feels now as compared to his first Super Bowl appearance.

February 3, 2011 - Press Conference1091 viewsâ€œWe have a curfew. We have a one oâ€™clock curfew. I heard that the crack TMZ staff that they are, they know their facts that I was out past then, but really we were home way before curfew. Itâ€™s kind of an ironic thing there. I think the first night there is no curfew and then there is curfew every other night.

â€œThis game is so huge for all of us. We want to win it. Rest is really important. For instance, last night I went to a movie and I was done and in bed by 10. You start tapering things off and going to bed early.â€ -- On whether the team has a curfew this week.

February 3, 2011 - Press Conference1051 views"That's a great piano song isn't it? One of the best. You've got to request that when you're at the piano bar." -- On the selection of the song "Piano Man" Tuesday night.

â€œWe have a great relationship. Heâ€™s a playerâ€™s coach and I like playing for him. Heâ€™s one of the reasons we want to win football games. We are blessed to have him as our coach.â€ -- On his relationship with Coach Tomlin.
