How ironic, to be my last game that I ever played would be against Dan in a Super Bowl. The thing I always was afraid of was playing in a Super Bowl when it was raining. I can't throw a wet ball.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Even in past years, when I wasn't in the Super Bowl, I wished I was.
I was on the field praising quarterback Dan Fouts during a ceremony to retire his number. Boos began shaking the stadium. It was a moment of misery like I'd never experienced before. Afterward, dejection hung over me for days.
But this was my chance to go to the Super Bowl. Nothing was going to stop me.
Coming back in that AFC Championship Game against the Steelers, that was a poignant moment for me for a lot of reasons - the magnitude of the game and having not been able to play for quite a while and to be able to get on the field for that game. That one stands out.
I was so lucky to walk away with two Super Bowls and know that the last year was positive.
Losing a Super Bowl destroys all the good things that happened to get you there.
No matter how much you've won, no matter how many games, no matter how many championships, no matter how many Super Bowls, you're not winning now, so you stink.
I hate to lose more than I love winning, and I'm coming to Dallas to win a Super Bowl.
The saddest day of my life was the day I didn't get to play football anymore.
I was truly honored to be a part of that game, to be playing the 50th Super Bowl.
