I was with Michael last year before they did the vote, and I know how much it meant to him last year. I know how devastated he was when he was not elected.
I'd be surprised if one quarterback in the league could compute his own rating. Peyton Manning is as cerebral as it gets, and I don't think he'd have a first clue.
I happen to think those things are going to happen for Indianapolis.
I know Tony is feeling some pressure this week because Roger and I live here and our sponsor is based here. But I'd hate for Tony to put undue pressure on himself and try to do too much.
I played it to win championships and win as many games as I could. I feel like I did it as well as anybody that's played the game. I'm happy that we won three world championships.
It initially sounded strange to say the top 25 would be successful. Now after seeing the teams that have been in this for so long struggle, it's not hard to accept at all.
When I think of all the great players who have played the game over the history of it, to be considered one of the great players ... that helped define the game itself, it is a humbling experience.
Well, ... do you like college more or do you like pro more?
To go into the Hall of Fame, it continues the legacy of the Dallas Cowboys.
We got them right where we want them. The stage may be set for one of the greatest comebacks in playoff history. He's clearly frustrated that they haven't really been able to get the ball to him.
Would we like to win? Absolutely. If we can finish in the top 25, I think everybody would feel real good about that. I hope it's not as difficult as my rookie season was. I was 0-11 as a starter.
What I knew coming in has only been reinforced, is how competitive this sport is, and how much of a disadvantage a startup team is under. But I do think we're going to continue to do better.
We're going to have to fast-track it on some things, but we can put a team together and a competitive team. Everything has come together in a positive way.
Just remember that nothing is as bad as it seems and nothing is as good as it sometimes appears.
