I’m sad for Mike. I’m sad for Mr. Bowlen that he had to do this, I know how hard Mike works, and I know the kind of money Mr. Bowlen invests. I’m sure a week or two will pass and I’ll call Mike and Mr. Bowlen. Right now, I’m too emotional to talk to either one. I wish it could have worked.

Mile High Salute..

..to Shannon Sharpe. He said it like it should have been said.

To bear up under loss, to fight the bitterness of defeat and the weakness of grief, to be victor over anger, to smile when tears are close, to resist evil men and base instincts, to hate evil and to love love, to go on when it would seem good to die, to seek after the glory and the dream, to look up with unquenchable faith in something evermore about to be, that is what any man can do, and so be great.

Victor Frankl:

What man actually needs is not a tensionless state but rather the striving and struggling for some goal worthy of him. What he needs is not the discharge of tension at any cost, but the call of a potential meaning waiting to be fulfilled by him.

Everything can be taken from a man but one thing: the last of the human freedoms – to choose one’s attitude in any given set of circumstances, to choose one’s own way.

I absolutely LOVE the gift?

We got Mike, we got SSharp we got Tom and TD, we got TWO SB’s…………….and

where do you stop with the ackolades. The last 14 years have been the best for me. I just hate for this era to end.

What we will see now will be brand new! No one knows what it will be, but, we know that it is going to be brand new!

Perhaps what Pat wanted, was to create a new excitement in the fan base, what do you think? I know that it has me wondering what is going to take place.
