    In an exclusive interview on NFL GameDay Morning, Atlanta Falcons TE Tony Gonzalez sat down with NFL Network's Stacey Dales to talk about his quest for a Super Bowl, what it was like to change teams and his status among the all-time great tight ends. Gonzalez, who holds the all-time records for receptions, yards and touchdowns among tight ends, was asked if he considers himself the best to ever play the position. "Confidently speaking, I think I have to go with, 'Yeah.' Why not? I've worked hard," Gonzalez said. "I have the records. But, politically speaking, it's really hard to tell. Because, tight end, it's a unique position. It's not just about catching footballs. You have to block, too. I'd like to think I've done a pretty good job with that."

    He may be right, it's just strange to read it. Me and I have never been a part of his NFL vocabulary.
