Sal, are you happy? What are your emotions right now?
It's worth the wait. So worth the wait. I got to tell you, Bill. I know I can't root against them. I hate it. I know it cost us draft picks in certain order, and I know I have Tampa Bay to win the NFC South, and yet when that defense plays with the intensity that it did, it is very hard to root against the Cowboys. You have to feel that way, too. Come on. Come on.
I mean, your team didn't win, but you know what I'm saying, right?
I thought you were doing Collinsworth, but you're doing Sal.
I thought you were going to do that. This is the greatest game I've ever seen.
I've never seen a football game like this, Mike. It was the greatest everything. It was the greatest secondary. It was the greatest interception. That run from Baker was the greatest.
