Dad makes the Hall of Fame. Son 's going to be his presenter. Son gets a brain tumor. Now the story is, Is the son going to be there ? Will the son make it ? Who knows ? I could be around until the Super Bowl in New York ( 2014 ). But I 've had a lot of time to think... So they talk about heaven, and I do n't know what is waiting for me up there. But I can tell you this : Nothing will happen up there that can duplicate my life down here. That life can not be better than the one I 've lived down here, the football life. It 's been perfect.
