Secrets of the Super Bowl Quarterbacks
SUPER BOWL XLI
As soon as the game ends, it's such a melee on the field. The confetti's coming down, people are running around, the media is all over the place. It's a real rush -- it's not like the end of a normal game where you can move around and shake hands and visit with everybody. So like three seconds after it's over, you can't even move. It's not like this happens all the time; you're not exactly sure what you're supposed to do. The thing I remember is sort of being moved by some NFL people and the camera folks. I wasn't even walking, just sort of floating in the crowd. All of a sudden, out of nowhere, moving toward me was Tony Dungy. The one guy you want to meet up and connect with, your head coach that got you there. It was kind of like being on one of those moving walkways at the airport, coming at each other from opposite directions. Everybody around us must have wanted it to happen, because they were pushing us together. Well, we embraced and had a special moment. I mean, you couldn't duplicate the way it happened. I sort of sat there, taking it all in. It wouldn't have been the same if it happened in the locker room. It was better -- way better -- that it wasn't planned. Somebody got a good picture of us together. Tony and I both have a copy. He's told me that it was a special moment for him -- one we'll both never forget.-- As told to Greg Garber of ESPN.com
