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 know that Tony feels an enormous amount of pressure going into this week and I think our entire crew does, unfortunately. I'd hate for them to put undue pressure on themselves.
I know what it was like my rookie year, and I know how difficult this sport is. By no means do we think we can step right in and not have to learn our lessons.
If I were to be selected for induction, it would be the most meaningful individual achievement of my athletic career. I came into the NFL wanting nothing more than to win a championship. My career unfolded in a way that exceeded all expectations and I am grateful to those who helped me along the way and shared in that success.
I'm hoping more reasonable heads prevail. I don't know how this encourages new ownership and sponsors when penalties are handed down that affect the ability of people to bring in millions of dollars and see results. It's discouraging, to say the least.
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.
He's still playing at a high level, and I still believe he's one of the best quarterbacks in the league.
If he's not, then somehow you have to be able to get Aaron Rodgers some playing time.
I do think you have to have a great receiver and a great running back, ... But really every position is critical.
It's the greatest individual athletic achievement that's ever happened in my life. To be considered one of those players that made an impact or somehow, someway helped define the game itself is a very humbling experience.

It's like Peyton Manning after last year; if he doesn't throw for 49 touchdowns, then he had a down year. And I felt that people were going to be judging on that type of criteria. That's unfair. And yet no matter what criteria you're judging him on, he had as good or better a year this year than he had last year.
Any analyst would tell you that being in a three-man booth is tough. It's just hard when you've got things to say and you're not able to say 'em.
The last area of this team you thought you'd be questioning is the defense, but they've given up an awful lot of yards tonight.
