"I had an unbelievable football career.  I played for 20 years because

I loved the game of football.  I loved everything about it, but I especially

loved you – the fans.  I feel incredibly lucky to still have

your love and support now that I’m done playing.  All

those games, all those accomplishments, I couldn’t have done it

without the greatest fans in pro football – you. Thank you for supporting

and inspiring me to be great. I love you guys."
