This is a happy day for me. I think the tears that you see basically is that I have really enjoyed this ride. It's been really great, really fantastic.

I never thought I'd ever see this day.

I never thought I would see this day. But it's here now and I feel pretty good about it.

You know, I never looked down the road and said, 'Hey look, one day, the Hall of Fame.' It's always about playing each and every game 100 percent and I thank my teammates for getting me into the Hall because football is a team sport, not an individual sport.

I remember one day sitting at the pool and suddenly the tears were streaming down my cheeks. Why was I so unhappy? I had success. I had security. But it wasn't enough. I was exploding inside.

There's not a day that hasn't gone by that we shed tears. It's usually first thing in the morning, in the calm of the morning and the last thing at night in the calm of the night.
