What People Are Saying

Andy Reid
He's awesome. He was a tough guy and he's still a tough guy. If he says he could still play today, I wouldn't put it past him. (Andy Reid, Head Football Coach, Philadelphia Eagles)
Ed Rendell
He was the consummate hard hitter. He is the embodiment of Philadelphia; a force that gripped the town. (Ed Rendell, Eagles fan and Governor of Pennsylvania)
Frank Gifford
He was a great player for Philadelphia. He became more famous because of it [the hit]. Sadly, we are linked together. (Frank Gifford, former star, New York Giants)
Jim Taylor
I was trying to get up field, and 'BAM', old Chucky Boy hits me. (Jim Taylor, running back, Green Bay Packers)
John Chaney
We should take down the Rocky statue and put him up. He is a giant, a true miracle. He is the real Rocky. (John Chaney, former basketball coach, Temple University)
Steve Sabol
That performance in the 1960 championship game is close to a holy moment in pro football. (Steve Sabol, President, NFL Films)
