DeBartolo Gets a Statue

"I haven't talked to Jed (York). We've emailed each other. They want a picture of me. They want to do a bronze statue at the stadium, along with one of my dad (Edward DeBartolo Sr.). And I said, 'I hope that doesn't mean that they think I'm going to be gone.'"

DeBartolo is a finalist for the Pro Football Hall of Fame. The class of 2013 will be announced the day before the Super Bowl. Things could not be a whole lot better, he said, as he repeatedly expressed his pride that the franchise has experienced a resurgence under the leadership of Jed York, his nephew.
