    I aint been on this earth real long, but he was the best I ever saw.

    and he did it with class, which takes him up a few notches in my book.
    Ugh. Stupid people piss me off.

    He was on the Dan Patrick radio show today, and he still amazes me with his class and humility. The conversation turned to "the greatest pro football player of all time" and he dismissed himself because of the fact that receivers don't handle the ball nearly as much as quarterbacks or running backs do. He eluded to several others he would place in front of himself. But the fact that while he touched the ball only 7 to 10 times a game, and still produced the most yards and touchdowns than anyone else, is why he DOES get my vote for the best to ever play the game. ( And the fact that he is a true gentleman, and acts like one).

    DDD- I went home for lunch today and caught some of Sportscenter. I think it is actually something like 38 NFL records that he holds. Impressive to say the least!
    I don't need my name in the marquee lights....
