TV, of course, needs to attract attention, so they like the showboaters. But your core fans detest that type of individualistic chest thumping.

There was an article in the paper the other day. The Eagles let Duce Staley go a few years ago and the Steelers picked him up. He was injured much of last and this year and kept silent when others got to play ahead of him. He knew the team was more important than him.

Last week, due to injuries to others, he got his chance to play again, and helped the team win.

Contrast the player the Eagles gave up, to TO. That's a heck of a story, but not one made for TV highlight shows.

It's admirable when someone puts the success of the organization above his own ego. There are too few people like that in many career fields!
