- The excitement, the triumph—and, yes, the anguish—are all part of what makes football so special to me. AdvertisementAdvertisementAdvertisementAnd this is still a very fun football team to watch at times.
- They’re chock-full of talent, and I consider it an honor to watch players like Gibbs, Jared Goff, Penei Sewell, Amon-Ra St.
- Brown, Aidan Hutchinson, Jack Campbell, and Brian Branch—among many others on a weekly basis.
