From: A Cardinals’ Fan of 57 years
I watched your press conference yesterday and heard you say:
“You know, for those people who don’t understand football and don’t watch — there’s a reason I play football and they watch.”
Yeah, Hop, I never stood a chance make it as a pro football player. I tried to emulate my boyhood idol, the Cardinals revolutionary free safety, Larry Wilson, and I am proud to say that I started some games at free safety my senior in high school. But, I never had what it took to be a great player.
