I just for me, you know, I am I and Joe, you know, me as much as we've known each other.

You know me extremely well.

And those who know me personally know I'm one that it never needed validation.

I'm one that conducted myself in a way where I felt if I can't be authentic to myself and I still be accepted in whatever it may be.

I don't really care.

So Joe and Unk, you got to think when I put that Hall of Fame jacket on myself, Unk, you know that was not an approval of any and everybody.

Even Coach Lewis, a joke came to me after the game and say, you know what?

That's not going to sit right with a whole lot of people, especially those voters.

And I told Coach Lewis after the game, I say, Coach Lou, when I put that jacket on,

That was to let you know, and everybody else know, I don't need your validation.

At that moment, after that touchdown, and I crossed that 10,000 yard mark, I felt I was Hall of Fame worthy.

And I don't need, which they probably wouldn't because I was always the problem child, Joe.

I enjoyed that.

I enjoyed that perception that I had of enjoyment and having fun in my way and not conforming to what they felt I should have been like.

No.

At that moment, I felt I was Hall of Fame worthy.

Right.

That's why I put the goddamn jacket on.

Joe, Joe, I'm going to trip you out now.

Now, this is what they said.
