[While being inducted into the University of Miami Ring of Honor] "Before I get started just let me say that the camaraderie here at Miami is unbelievable. During my highlight film (they played before the players took the podium) Bernie Kosar was ripping me because they showed a screen pass. Kosar said: "That's your highlight film? Is that the best you got?"
