They're probably talking about the new 96 car by Texas Instruments.
He spent the first three hours of our conversation trying to talk me out of it.
In my biased opinion, if there ever was a Hall of Fame receiver, it's Michael Irvin. Why he didn't get in - I don't know why he didn't get in.
I know Tony was disappointed in himself and Philippe (Lopez, the crew chief) was disappointed in himself. To me, I like that. I walked away saying not bad, a top 25 finish, but the fact that those guys expected more of themselves, that's encouraging.
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.
Everybody was hoping we would race our way in. That's why Terry is here, in case we had to use the provisional. I know there's been some discussion about it, but the rules are in place, and we took advantage of it.
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.
It was made even more special going in beside Michael and Emmitt, ... I remember looking at the names, but no, I never in my wildest dreams ... I don't know what Michael and Emmitt thought. Knowing them, they thought they were going in.
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.
Even though he was just with me for three years, I felt he got my career on track.
