00:00Well, just remember, as I told you yesterday, Sean, when he had the first press conference
00:22with Jimmy Johnson that the subject was discussed, and he was on TV, he said, yes, he's going
00:28in the Ring of Honor. And nobody asked him when. And then a few years went by, and people
00:35said, well, wait, he lied. He lied. He never said when it was going to happen. So now we've
00:40got him on the record. I just think that's a really important thing. He does, too, by
00:46the way. That's why he put Gil Brandt in when he put him in, because he wanted to make sure
00:51that it helped Gil's Hall of Fame chances. And that's why I think we'll probably see
00:59Jason Whitten go in this year before the Hall of Fame vote. It's just important when those
01:05Hall of Fame voters get around to it. And I don't think there's any question about Zach
01:09Martin going in, but he really ought to be a first ballot guy, and I think that'll help
01:13him.
01:14So you really think it plays a big role in that Hall of Fame room?
01:19I think it's a role. I don't know how big, and I think how big depends on what the guy's
01:24credentials are, and maybe who the presenter is. There have been times that a guy's credentials
01:30have been so good, I've been told, and obviously I'm not one, so I don't know, but I've been
01:34told sometimes, like, I think it was with either Jerry Rice or John Elway, whoever the
01:40presenter was just got up and said, yeah, Jerry Rice. And that was it.
