They are the kind of team that I'd cheer for.

I'm paying attention. They are very, very good. They look like they're head and shoulders above the rest.

It's funny and it makes for good listening, especially beating up on your boss. Listeners love it.

It's impossible to compare the eras, but they belong in a group among the greatest ever. I have nothing but respect for them. They are worthy of being recognized with history's best.

It's quite an honor to be in the College Football Hall of Fame.

He is Mr. Miami Dolphin.

I'm not buying that crap. People overreact both ways. Notre Dame is down — they'll never be back. Their academic standards are too high. You see them get buried faster than anybody else, and people are jumping on the bandwagon faster than everybody else.

I like their whole approach to the game, from the GM to their coach to the players.
