I don’t care what it takes or what it costs. I am taking my family to the Hall of Fame game and the induction.

not just my favorite cardinal, but one of my favorite human beings of all time.
So just taking my 17 yr old son. My wife and youngest couldn’t care less about football. We are so excited. Seats on the field!

Darren Urban said he is tempted to use his press time in Canton to ask Larry, "So...are you retired now, or what?" Because Fitz never officially retired from the league. You go into the Hall once it has been five years since you played, but he never filed for retirement, etc.

huge favor to ask. For those of you taking the team trip from Arizona and doing all of the itinerary, can you share what you guys are gonna be doing? I am kind of rolling in half blind on what happens during this thing. I plan on taking my son to the Hall of Fame on Friday and then the Enshrinement on Saturday but not sure what happens in between or after that we might be missing…. thanks

What an incredible dude.

Best hands, maybe ever, one of the best blocking receivers of all time (certainly among the superstars), maybe the best playoff receiver ever, despite playing for a franchise that has rarely made noise in the playoffs, but he was LOUD when he got there.

Both of my favorite plays in Cardinal history are him. The catch and run in OT against Green Bay and his TD in the Superbowl that briefly has us thinking the Cardinals were going to be the greatest Cinderella superbowl champion ever.

Heck, the flee flicker in the 1st round against the Falcons that year might be my third favorite Cardinals play of all time.

If not for spending most of his career with awful QBs, I think he'd, easily, be second only to Rice.

Larry Legend on if he’d trade his gold jacket for a Super Bowl ring:

"I’d say probably not. I think it’s more difficult to be a Hall of Famer than it is to be a Super Bowl Champion. But I’m not diminishing being a champion at all. I wish I could've won one."
