........and read this snipet of what he says about Hester (uh, ignore
the comment about Tom Brady):
"The Pro Bowl? Try immortality. The simplest way to explain his mad
streak through history -- not just football, but all of sport -- is that
he has played 30 career games in the regular season and postseason and
already has 12 returns for touchdowns. The NFL officially doesn't count
his Super Bowl TD return nor his 108-yard return of a field goal against
the Giants last season, but I do. Technically, he has 10, placing him
fourth on the all-time list behind Brian Mitchell (13), Dante Hall (12)
and Eric Metcalf (12). In one swoop Sunday, he passed his mentor and
hero, Neon Deion Sanders, and the likes of Desmond Howard, Billy (White
Shoes) Johnson, Dave Meggett, Bobby Mitchell and Rick Upchurch. In the
biggest tribute, he also passed the Bears' previous record-holder, the
great Gale Sayers.
These are legendary names. Yet in 15 1/2 months, Hester has all but
obliterated the field. If every team knows he's coming and still can't
bottle him up, is it fair to wonder if he could return 30 or 40 kicks
for touchdowns? And if the Bears ever could figure out how to get him
the ball more on offense -- oh, to see The Hesterizer with Tom Brady --
aren't we talking about a no-doubt Hall of Famer?"
