Everything I thought it would be.
During the preceding commercial break, ran upstairs to grab my DT home authentic, and decided to lay it on my lap, back up, with that familiar THOMAS 58 facing me instead of putting it on. For whatever reason, it just felt right.
For all Carl's failures, he knocked it out of the park. Just perfect.
Not ashamed to say, many tears were shed, and I felt as if that light Carl mentioned really had finally come back on. I only wish that Derrick himself had been here in the flesh to enjoy this honor - even though I know he was watching and enjoying from where ever he may be now.
RIP, Derrick. I hope you enjoyed this evening as much as every fan, teammate, coach, staff member and family member did.
Congratulations. It's well overdue, but you're finally home.
