He takes all of the heat from the press, while the rest of the team gets to relax and prepare, probably made the game closer than it really should have been..
As I said in an earlier post, what's the difference between what TO did, and what Curt Schilling did? Yet notice the difference in how the media covered it. TO did make a good point.
That's possible, that's possible. He performed. The rest of the team has a reasonable expectation to perfom to that higher level, to smoothy integrate that exceptional talent TO has. Still, I think the flu took Philly out.
