Fox News: How has your everyday routine altered considering that social distancing measures began?
Davis: I would just go to the NFL (Network) studio once a week and after that I would take a trip a fair bit to do appearances and stuff like that. You know, business speaking engagements, so that’s obviously changed.
As far as the important things I do at home, I still get up at– I generally get up at 5 a.m., I get up a little later now. I get up at 5: 30 a.m. I like to get my workouts in before I start the day. I [used to] take the kids to school, whatever it is and then tackle my day, which is a lot of telephone call, it’s a great deal of studying. You understand with football you’re constantly researching stuff, taking a look at the games, players, transactions, all that things. So in some ways, a few of the things that I’ve been doing, I’m still doing, but I’m doing more of.
However it is various since the kids are home and so now it’s a lot of hanging out with them and despite the fact that I have work to do and I’m attempting to get ahead of a great deal of things, they see you and it resembles “Well, OK you can’t go anywhere so let’s play throughout the day.’ I’m investing a lot of time with kids.
I attempt to look at this time as a method to get ahead of whatever. So I went through my files and I cleared out all of my workplace files. From a business standpoint, I’m doing all this stuff– preparing yourself for when life returns to regular.

Fox News: What are the most significant obstacles in doing your task throughout this crisis?
Davis: Well the most significant obstacle is that I make the majority of my money taking a trip. If I do not take a trip, I do not make cash, so that’s certainly a big challenge. But it really is the human touch, you understand, the actual interactions of simply being out. Whatever [it] is, we like to just be out in society and I think that’s simply hard for anybody to cover their minds around not having the ability to do things as typical.
We are social animals and we much like to be around people. That’s simply tough for us to handle. The social component to it is just very various.

Fox News: What do you miss the most about life before this began?
Davis: It just feels odd, and I make sure everybody can associate with, simply not having the easy things.
Even having our grandparents over, my kids’ grandparents. They can’t even come over so that is strange for everyone. And then if you have kids, we have three kids and people that have kids can relate– it is tough to tell them they can’t go anywhere therefore then you resemble “What are your options?” Now they’re home, you can only get them to do so much school work and math and reading. Now it’s films and it’s iPads and all these electronic devices and stuff you attempt to keep away from. So you’re trying to pass the time however you’re attempting to make good of it.
We will always remember how odd this feels. I do not understand if we’ll have the ability to inform somebody about this one day when we age. It’s so bizarre.
Fox News: What surprised you most about how your daily life has altered?
Davis: No one knows (when life will go back to regular) so you need to prepare your mind for … yeah, possibly there is some semblance of normalcy but I anticipate this thing to stick around quite deep. It simply feels like it needs to, at least from the mask stand point, a minimum of from the major events, however that effects everything we do. Our sports, that effects still, even at work, there are certain jobs where people still have to have a big quantity of individuals collected and they’re not going to have the ability to do that so this thing is going to be– it seems like it’s going to leave a pretty huge path of damage once it’s over with and I think we’re simply bracing to see how we’re going to deal with it.
I simply try to remain positive … I try to do things that I can put good energy towards and not think of it.
Fox News: How do you blow off steam?
Davis: Either I’m doing workouts and after that I do, which truly helps, is use this ball, which generally [helps with] muscle release … I utilize that an hour a day. It’s not actually– I do not really practice meditation, I used to, however it permits me to unwind with the amount of pressure it puts on my muscles. It injures so excellent, I’m telling you … you feel so great after you’ve done that.
If I’m working, you understand I’m a worker bee, so if I’m working towards developing a talk or in my office doing something that is positive, something that is trying to advance my talk, that’s always excellent.
And After That, when I’m with the kids, just having fun with them– playing basketball in the backyard, that’s a method to relieve the stress. There’s a lot of methods to ease stress. We’re most likely on our 3rd puzzle now that we’ve put together and I enjoy puzzles, so that’s been fun.
It’s been challenging however, I’ve said it previously, this time I have to value it since when things get back to normal, I do not believe we’re ever going to have this type of time with our families, ever again. Just to be with them and have our kids house this amount of time, simply attempting to make the most of that.
