"Ray Lewis. He's the best defensive player out there today."
"Trent Dilfer. He's struggled hard, six years. He's a good ballplayer, he's going to play a nice, easy game, take his time and be very successful. He won't be a Doug Williams (the 1988 Super Bowl MVP), but he's in line for (MVP) right now."
"Dilfer. This is his home, and he has a lot to prove to himself, I think, and to Tampa Bay. I know he doesn't have any hard feelings (toward the area), and I don't want him to think that we do. I've been a Bucs fan forever, so why not Dilfer (as MVP)? I think it'd be pretty cool."
"Dilfer, because I'm originally from Baltimore. I don't know anybody else on the team, so I'll pick Dilfer."
"Not Trent Dilfer. I'd have to say Ray Lewis. The Baltimore defense is good."
