Part of me wants to enjoy it, and part of me knows we have a game coming up. Raising that trophy in front of our fans was a dream come true.
Part of me really wants to enjoy this right now. But I'm kind of in shock right now. I hope people took a lot of pictures. We've got another game coming up. Standing on that podium, holding up that championship trophy in front of the fans...it was really a dream come true.
It was a dream come true. It's probably one of my favorite memories of all time.
It was a dream come true. I remember being at that game. I remember when he blocked a kick in that game. It's probably one of my favorite memories of all time.

I don't know too much about Pittsburgh and what their year has been like. Let's just go out and take care of business. It sounds like that is the sort of formula that has helped them get here, too.
