It's taken me a while, but I'm starting to realize that DFWGator is one very astute sports fan/observer. That is an excellent point that I never even considered.

On a related note . . . what role do you think the NFL labor dispute will have on coaching decisions for next season? Does Bill Cowher stay in the broadcast booth for one more season rather than come back to a chaotic lockout situation?
