Martin seems to have a very, very good base of the quarterback position. I think the position looks like it's in pretty darn good hands.
Kirk Cousins has played much better at the quarterback position than Robert Griffin III has,
We're a family at ESPN. For me, to take this property and move it to Monday night is a great honor.
Over the last three years, I found myself getting up in the middle of the night to go to the bathroom. After a while, I began to accept that going to the bathroom so frequently was simply part of aging after hitting 50.
My biggest question wasn't about the organization, the work ethic, none of the things that have been part of Joe's life. My biggest question had to do with how he would adapt and adjust to calling plays in a different time in football. That really was one of the greatest challenges that he faced last year was, 'Can I run my offense as I knew it in this modern day and age of football'. And the answer was no.

He's away from the game for 12 years and we expect him literally to walk on water his first time back.
He's playing the best football now. Maybe he doesn't get the records, maybe he doesn't have the yards or have the most touchdown passes, but from a game operational standpoint, I think Tom Brady throws the ball as well as anybody in football, manages the game as well as anybody in football, and has three rings on his fingers in the last four years, and he's a winner.
For me, Monday night still is the big night for football in the NFL. It's the last football game of the week and it's a showcase for all the players.
He wanted those of us who have had some history here to talk about the pride we felt when we put the uniform on,
