One of the great things personally coming to Hawai'i is my friendship of Jim Nicholson.

First of all, it was such an honor to be chosen. You had to be voted in by players and coaches that time. But having it in Hawai'i was a brilliant idea.

So much of what you do physically happens because you've thought about it and mentally prepared for it.

First off there is no question that LaDainian is a first-ballot Hall of Famer. His contributions off the field to the community of San Diego are as important as what he did on the field. What he did on the field was monumental.

I remember Terry being exhausted from his latest Super Bowl win and all the things that go with it.

People ask me who he reminds me of. The way he's playing, I'd say he doesn't remind me of anybody. I've never seen anybody - running back, quarterback, wide receiver - make the plays that Vince Young made today.

I always loved going to Hawai'i; it was very, very special.
