While an excellent return man - his lasting legacy will always be "not a go up and get it guy"

I was at the game in Washington when he had his last return TD as a Bear tying the record. The entire stadium blew up, even Redskin fans were cheering lol. I think everyone enjoyed watching Hester apply his craft.

Now that he is retired I wonder if he will make use of that 15 years of schooling. Probably run a fortune 500 company or be a brain surgeon maybe even a rocket skyientist.

He didn't get enough attention the first two times he said it, he needs to keep saying it until someone blows up on him.

I know you have. But I was referring to this thread. Clearly looking to engage and not getting anyone to bite yet.

Not buying it, fluffy

Shit, I wish I was fluffy. You have any idea how much money Gabriel Iglesias is worth? I'm just a fat guy with a shoe business. Keep trying though. Maybe someone will be stupid enough to fall for your bait the 4th time you say it.

One of my favourite players ever. He was just electrifying! I wish him the best in his future endeavours and thanks for all the memories!

Thanks for including this. Back when I saw it live, I got SO much enjoyment out of hearing perpetual Bears-trasher Dan Dierdorf moan and cry during those returns in the Denver game. At a time when excitement would be called for, there he was, moaning, "I don't get it. I don't get it." I absolutely hated Dierdorf as an announcer, and he'd been dissing Hester earlier in that game. I bet if you listen really closely, you can hear Dierdorf's heart actually break in the booth. Thanks, 23!

I believe we were clear on that. Care to say it a 5th time? Because, you know, nobody cares.

I think he certainly deserves consideration. Will be very difficult to compare his impact versus a running back or receiver, so I could see it go either way.

Right now, I'm sure he's more worried about getting over the pain of knowing he won't get Omelete's vote.

I'm sure Hester is wiping away the tears with hunnits as we speak.

Let me axe you a question shoeboy: is it true that shoe size correlates to dick size?

The long and the short of that question is no. Neither does hand size.
