As a fan, I cannot tell you how much I appreciate the way Tony treated us. In 1996 I went to watch Colts training camp practices with my dad and my daughter. After hours of body breaking workouts and 90 degree heat + 95% humidity, Tony did something amazing...We were there all week and everyday he stayed at least 30 minutes after to sign autographs and talk to fans. He was the only one to stay more than 5 minutes (not that I blame the others). All this after his best season as a Colt, if not his best season period. I only hope that Tony knows how much he was/is appreciated by us, the fans, for his class and the way he approached the game. Thanks for everything Tony.
