...Super Bowl XXXIV winner Marshall Faulk. "It won't work on me," said Faulk before I even started. "I've never sat there and really paid attention to what was being said. If I'm playing in the Super Bowl, and I've dreamed about it as a kid, what's the inspirational speech for? It's like giving Barack Obama a speech right before the Inauguration.
