Meaning of the quote
John Elway, an American athlete, is saying that he's not sure if he enjoys being the person that everyone feels emotional about or likes the most. He's not sure if he wants to be seen as the "favorite" just because people have strong feelings about him. Elway seems to be questioning whether he wants to be in that position or if he prefers a different type of relationship with his fans and the public.
