    OK, the Make A Wish, all I am saying is, if that boat had a Make A Wish logo on it and there were two cancer kids on each side, would Miami and the boat be an issue?
    Nope, we assume too much. It was there break to do whatever they want (legally). It was also the first time they were able to celebrate Christmas/New Years, think about that.

    I am a Giants fan by the way, and I am on GB only due to Eli's regression and the pick 6 he will probably throw and going up against the second best QB in the NFL.

    Also remember Apple is a rookie, and he will be exposed Sunday. 
    It is also his first Playoff game as well as OBJ, Jenkins (our other DB) and Collins (our star safety)...against Rodgers who is red hot.

    Just food for thought.
    GL to all!



    Also, this isn't AT&T (Cowboys) Stadium at 74 degrees, no wind, and with the roof closed, this is the Frozen Tundra. Forecast calls for a high of 15 degrees. Hard to make a highlight reel one armed circus catch 50 yards down field when both your hand and the ball are frozen.....

    One of the main angles mentioned by many posters on covers last week was that the Baltimore Ravens would show up in week 17 and win the game because Steve Smith was going to retire after the game, now how did that fantasy angle work out (27-10 loss to Cincy)? 

    I guess his Raven teammates don't lubba Steve that much???

    Just to add to his, college athletes work far harder on the court and field than the pros. It's the hunger that gets you paid. That hunger dies somewhat after getting paid.

    But even the college kids once guaranteed a spot in the pros start to become like the pro in this regard. McCaffery sitting out the bowl game as an example.

    And do you remember Colt McCoy in the National Championship leaving the Bama game? I do. I believe he left the game to preserve his pro status and not risk further injury. I understand that. There are millions of dollars on the line.

    This is all very rational but it screws with our bankrolls.
