To go into the Hall of Fame, it continues the legacy of the Dallas Cowboys.
They're probably talking about the new 96 car by Texas Instruments.
Alex Smith is under no illusions as to why he was chosen where he was. It's not for him to go out there and make the Pro Bowl. That organization brought him in to bring a world championship to the city of San Francisco. Anything short of that, then that quarterback didn't fulfill the expectations of the organization. That's a tremendous burden. No one who's ever won a Super Bowl has ever done it by himself.
This is going to be a great test for the Cowboys, because the Chargers are a good team again,
This is really unbelievable what Carolina has done to this Chicago defense. They have made the defense look very average here tonight.
I think the game has changed, ... But I think you have to get great play at quarterback. I don't believe in what some say are game-managers.
It is amazing to me that, right up until race time, these guys are still accessible to the fans and signing autographs. You would never get that close to any other athlete in any other sport. I don't know that in football - while I was playing or even now m that players really understand or appreciate what drives the sport. In NASCAR, they seem to have a pretty good feel for it.
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.
He spent the first three hours of our conversation trying to talk me out of it.
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.
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.
I hope it's not that difficult. I was 0-11 as starter, but we didn't throw in the towel. We all pulled together to do whatever was necessary to succeed.
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.
