12 of the best years of my life. It will never be forgotten. |
Alex Smith is under no illusions as to why he was chosen where he was. It's not for him to go out there and make the Pro Bowl. That organization brought him in to bring a world championship to the city of San Francisco. Anything short of that, then that quarterback didn't fulfill the expectations of the organization. That's a tremendous burden. No one who's ever won a Super Bowl has ever done it by himself. |
Any analyst would tell you that being in a three-man booth is tough. It's just hard when you've got things to say and you're not able to say 'em. |
Certainly, after six races, by no means have we arrived or is this an overwhelming success. I know Tony views this as a tremendous opportunity. |
Drivers sign autographs an hour before a 500-mile race. I couldn't even talk to my family the day before a game. |
Even though he was just with me for three years, I felt he got my career on track. |
Even when we do a game, I don't follow what the ratings are. |
Everybody was hoping we would race our way in. That's why Terry is here, in case we had to use the provisional. I know there's been some discussion about it, but the rules are in place, and we took advantage of it. |
From the time I first saw him play, up until even now, he still plays with that same enthusiasm and excitement. You can tell he just loves the competition and he's not concerned with the consequences. It's like he's still out there in the yard playing with his friends. |
From what I've seen of the 49ers while John York has been the owner, I've seen no commitment to bring any kind of talent into that organization and doing anything that it takes to go out and be successful. |
He spent the first three hours of our conversation trying to talk me out of it. |
He's still playing at a high level, and I still believe he's one of the best quarterbacks in the league. |
I am especially excited to be working alongside Joe in a two-man booth, |
I do think you have to have a great receiver and a great running back, ... But really every position is critical. |
I don't agree with this call. I don't agree with this call and only because there's still time on the clock. And with Washington with two timeouts, they still have time to move the football down for a field goal. ... Boy, this is risky. |
