    Thank you Kevin Greene. What an incredible speech. Gave us goose bumps. As a lifetime Los Angeles Rams fan, I was sad to see you go, but enjoyed seeing you play the game with so much intensity. Thank you for acknowledging everyone that made you who you are... from your Dad to your family to your football families. And also thank you for acknowledging our first responders, the men and women "that lay it on the line for all of us" (i.e. fire fighters, paramedics and Law Enforcement), and all of the military who serve and "stand tall for our beloved Country".

    Very cool finale to his speech.
    Always Black & Gold. He was a Steeler long before he ever even arrived in town. It was in his blood, and he knew it as soon as he put on the uniform. Some players match to a city, an identity, a team - and for Greene - Pittsburgh was it.
    As a fan, I was sad to see him go before his time. He was a perfect blend of tough and crazy, and was always positive, always a cheerleader for the team and for the fans.
    I'm glad to see him get his due, and happy to see he remember his roots.

    Kevin Greene epitomized the ‘Blitzburgh’ defense… but I was so happy to see him come play for Dom in Carolina. He was in the backfield on EVERY play his number was called. A motor that ran on HIGH and a RELENTLESS pursuit… I mean RELENTLESS. Kevin wasn’t the fastest, nor the biggest but he had a heart and a motor that out lasted the sheer will and determination of any other opponent he was up against. 160 sacks (3rd NFL all time).. not bad for a walk-on punter at Auburn
