totally disagree! dwight stephenson is the best center to ever play the game and one of the best dolphin players ...its always great to see him. you probably never were fortunate enough to watch him play.
He still goes up and gets booed though. I enjoy seeing him get bood so that part is fine with me. I just find the introducing the player slows things down. Maybe they should just flash the name and year / credentials on the screen while they announce it.
But then Kelly took the podium. I want to be clear. I am far from a Jim Kelly fan, but since he got sick you cannot help but to put football aside and to pull for him in the much more important game of life. Classy move by the Chicago fans to give him that warm reception and standing ovation when he took the podium.
I actually like the old time players announcing picks. While I hate the Jets.....Emerson Boozer is a player I used to watch when I was a kid. The Jim Kelly moment was awesome and Dwight Stephenson is one of my favorite Fins of all time. I thought Ickey Woods did a great job.
Although, I will say that the young girl who was battling cancer who gave the Bears pick....might have been the best of the night!
