I'm a big fan of Barry Sanders and I respect him a lot. He's a guy that a lot of people talk about. He retired early and fans would have loved to see him, like myself, play three or four more years.
Joe Montana had bad games in the playoffs against the Giants and Chicago Bears; that doesn't stop us from considering him as possibly the best.
I do like Peyton Manning. I mean, you can't lose with a guy like that - especially with the amount of touchdowns he's been able to produce.
Dead at 50. Mike Webster! Nine-time Pro Bowler. Hall of Famer. 'Iron Mike,' legendary Steelers center for fifteen seasons.
Understand, I'm in awe of Tom Brady. He grows on me by the game.
I'm a Peyton Manning fan.
I don't remember Bill Walsh being old. I remember young Bill Walsh. He wasn't gray-haired, and neither was I when we first met. His legacy will live on. Bill Walsh's name and his accomplishments will be remembered and revered so long as the great game of football is played.
I am going to miss Don Shula. I like him, and I admire him. I'm going to miss looking those 53 yards across the field and thinking, 'There is a coaching legend.'
It's great because growing up, especially being a Raiders fan and then playing with Marcus, I was like, 'Holy smokes, that's Marcus Allen' when I first walked in and saw him.
Mike Webster's death was significant. Iron Mike. The best center in the NFL. Nine-time Pro Bowler. Hall of Famer. Four Super Bowl rings. He had played in more games - 220 of them - than any other player in Steelers history.
Peyton was the best, my favorite quarterback growing up.
There's not one person that sets the standard better to be a New York Football Giant than Eli Manning.
Drew Brees is going to be in the Hall of Fame.
I was always a Favre fan. I was born in Wisconsin, and my whole family was Packers fans, so I grew up watching him.
