  6. You should post the whole ceremony. I had to record it with my phone while watching on TV because my DVR would’ve cut off in the middle of his speech (in fact it did!)

  7. Did the fans really have to BOO when Ryan Lefebvre mentioned the pro bowl ? I mean get over it that he played for the raiders. he hasn’t played raiders football in like 33 years!
