"Now we're practicing during the bye week, we've already knocked off Minnesota and Atlanta, so we know we're going to the Super Bowl," Reese explained. "We still at this time don't really know if T.O. [Terrell Owens] is playing. We basically have gotten ourselves prepared mentally to play without T.O.

Until one day, Michael B., I was one of the first one's---myself, full throttle, and a couple other special teams guys---because special teams practice starts before regular practice starts and we were practicing in the bubble at this time because it was so cold. We go out to the bubble to get a little early warmup in, couple guys, and we see Rick Burkholder---the head trainer at the time---in the practice bubble working out T.O. It was the first time any of us had seen him run."
"It was unbelievable because you got to realize, this is how much this guy meant to the team. Most of the players there had lost conference championship games back to back years. Bringing this guy in gave us new found confidence. We felt like invincible---before he got injured, we didn't feel like there was a team in the league that can beat us."
