During his speech, Williams took some time to take a few shots at teams he played against in his lengthy career.
One of the main targets was the Dallas Cowboys, who Williams ripped with some hilarious comments.
Williams took a bit of credit for the building of the new Cowboys Stadium, after the Cardinals were able to upset them ten years before the construction.
The shot at Dallas also took aim at Michael Irvin, but it took a friendly turn when Williams thanked Irvin for helping to make him as great of a defensive back as he was during his playing days.
