Thanks. This is a great board, hence my presence, despite my allegience to the Chargers. As for Tom, I have nothing but respect for him. He is the antithesis of Jay Cutler. He is respectful of his teamates (and his opponents) and humble about his success. He deserves respect from every fan of the NFL for what he has accomplished and the grace with which he has done it. Any player though, really, deserves our prayers when injured because our empathy for people (most NFL players ARE people) should transcend the allegience to a particular team. After all, NFL football IS, at the most basic level, just entertainment. It is not life or death, although sometimes it feels that way (believe me, I know, remember '06? LOL...hey, what do you know, I can finally laugh about it!).
