Im as much of a competetor as anyone...played baseball at a high level...i know all about going all out for team mates etc etc...but geez louise you guys are taking his comments wayyy too far....the guy plays injured, you dont think his team mates see that.....as a team mate i could care less what another guy does in the offseason once he comes to training camp ready to battle (which stevie obviously does)

I hate the bills losing more than anyone but stevie aint the problem....the problem starts at the top, and until they change the culture of the entire org im not going to continuosly rag on one of our best players who goes all in on sundays....the guy kept playing injured after his big payday....didnt miss any training camp....he may have a big mouth but guy is a team guy who keeps the team positive....not everyone is gonna be workout warriors but every one should bring something to the table and i feel he does that....
Good. We got off that entertainment stuff.

I hear you about competing at the level you did, and I respect that. And I do agree that Stevie comes to play, plays hurt, etc. etc. Got that.

But unless you're being modest, you didn't play in the major leagues. At your level it, it was a part-time deal. At the major league level, no matter what you're giving during the season, if you aren't working on your game in the off-season, you're falling behind all the guys who are. And a lot of guys are.

Great story about the time the Celtics won an NBA title. The day after they won the title, Bill Walton went to Larry Bird's place and they drank into the night, celebrating. Walton walk up the next morning as Bird was walking the door, coming home from a 5-mile run. Walton asked him what he was doing, and Bird said, of course, "getting ready for next season."

The best players work at their games virtually year round, because that's the commitment that made them great. The worst players work at their games year round, because there are literally 1000 guys not in the NFL who are working year round to get into the league. The guys in the middle? Some of them get it, some of them don't. Stevie don't.
