The text of Marv Levy's introduction and Thurman Thomas' acceptance speech

[shelby]

You know, 20 years ago today, neither I nor hardly anybody else in Buffalo knew who that fella sitting over there was. And several months later, on draft day 1988 when our Buffalo Bills were in dire need of an outstanding running back, we found ourselves in the forlorn position of not having a first round draft choice.

Thurman:

In closing, to the fans of Buffalo, every guy has probably stood up here in all of these Hall of Fame jackets and said they probably have had the best fans in the world supporting them. I'm here to say that's hogwash. No fans are like my fans, like Bills fans. You were all out there freezing, spending hard earned money to cheer us on. You guys are the best.

You're the best, Thurmal!

Hey Marv, it was 1988, not 1998.

Hey Marv, it was 1988, not 1998.

He's old, every 10 years gets moved up...
