On TV yes it's probably boring, it's one of those things you have to be at to be able to soak in what it all means.

No way did Darrell's speech lack substance. His childhood references were acknowledgements to people who meant the world to him. These were guys he started playing with I believe.
One of these guys were killed in a car accident. Darrell was supposed to be in that car riding with his buddy. But he missed the trip. Darrell loved those guys, you can tell because that happened before he was a Redskin, and it still choked him up yesterday. How many of us have the type of friendship with someone, that if we died today, it would choke them up 30-35 years from now.
I was impressed with this part, because Darrell didn't forget where he came from.
To the guy that said DG's speech "lacked substance", that's impossible, because DG IS SUBSTANCE!!
A lot of people may say they are classy, or try to act like they are classy.............But Darrell showed the world that he IS class.
