It's work, but it's not.

It's not work.

It's work, but it's... You pay for it, but it ain't work.

I think there's a little bit.

I remember the first time that I ever was a player in facing the 49ers, and this is going back to when they had Joe Montana and Jerry Rice and John Taylor and all the great players on that 49er team and Bill Walsh.

You know what I mean?

Sure.

So there was almost an aura that kind of surrounded them.

And it lasted for many years, obviously, because they won so many different Super Bowls.

And then, obviously, Steve Young took over defensively.

They had, you know, Fagan and Holt.

I mean, two defensive tackles that were monsters.

Charles Haley, Ronnie Lott, who was a teammate of mine for a year.

I mean, just some great players, Hall of Fame players.

So when they came to town or when you went there, it was a moment that you had to kind of just say, okay, they're a team.

They put on their stuff the same way we do.

Let's go.

But I think a lot of times when you have a successful organization like that, and nowadays comparison would probably be the Kansas City Chiefs, which will be coming into town on Monday night next week.

You can't get in awe of the logo or the colors or the Patrick Mahomes is or whoever or Chris McCaffrey's.

I think that's part of it when you travel to a place like that, and it is going to be a great environment.
