I try not to ride that roller coaster anymore. It is an honor to make it this far. I would like it very much and it would be a perfect culmination. I would like to be able to look back at the hurting and everything you go through on the field and say it was all worth it. Right now, I don't dwell on it.
People say again it's just a great honor to be even nominated.
I respect that. But to me, the great honor will be to get in and to among those outstanding players. I don't know who he was, but he was a defensive back for Cincinnati. It was a Monday night game and this guy was coming towards me. He came around and reached out and socked me.
