“It’s simple – it took everyone. For us to do what we want to do it will take everyone again,” he said.
Barkley said he was just “grateful” to be enabled to succeed. But he knows the job is far from done. Getting to the Super Bowl wasn’t the goal – to win it was.
“It will be great, something I’ve been dreaming of since I was a little kid,” he said what he thinks he will feel when he talks out of the tunnel at the game. “To actually be here and finally get it emerged will be great. But the dream was not just getting there.
