THE QUESTIONS WITH Mike Furrey
What was your welcome-to-the-NFL moment?
Throwing the football at the Rams' emblem [on the stands] after I scored two touchdowns against them last year.
What was your most embarrassing moment?
I dropped a ball in 2004 [while playing for the Rams] on Monday Night Football. It was right at me.
What is your favorite off-day activity?
Spending time with my family. My daughter, Makayla, is 2 1/2, and my son, Stone Jett, is four months. I play tackle football with Makayla. She likes to tackle.
If I weren't in the NFL, I'd be ...
a contractor, building homes.
