| What could be better than to be the best quarterback of all, to be in charge, to
be famous, to be a picture on everyone else's wall? You could be anything you
want to be, but you want most to be this one man. He stands alone on his
100-yard field. He has answered all the questions on all the physical tests,
finished where everyone else wanted to finish, the one guy to complete the
American boyhood
dream.
