They had a guy named Gino Marchetti, the best defensive end that's ever been.

We later became great friends.

And after the game, we beat them.

And they were a great team.

And they said to him, hey, Gino, how about this target they got?

And he said he won't last five years.

They'll run him out.

Six years later, I had Gino Marchetti introduce me as player of the year for one of the magazines here in New York.

So I didn't know it was different.

It's just how I played.

1961, I was drafted by the Minnesota Vikings.

I made $12,500.

18 years later, I played in three of the first 11 Super Bowls.

I broke every record there was.

I obliterated all those.

I was the highest paid player in all of football, and I made $180,000 a year.

That was big back then.

Now they're making $40 million, $50 million a year.

And they paid Brady to do television, right?

And they paid him $35, $40, $50 million to do that.
