    Watching this report. . . All I can say is MAN
    they fact that he gets to the game every week is incredible

    I remember someone mentioning how beat up Earl was/is

    I don't think we can appreciate the beatnig these guys take every week

    Even other athletes. . i think not seeing the everyday
    only seeing sundays and the money
    we tend to demean and down play their sacrifices to entertain us

    I thought of Earl when I was watching that too.

    I think Jerome is a special case in that he has had an unusually long NFL career for an RB (13 years) and also, his body type is extra hard on his knees, tons of extra weight.

    He should call it quits.

    Is he at a buffet?


    seriously, this guy is one of the most underrated players of all-time. he and curtis martin won't be fully appreciated till they retire and people start to take notice of the numbers.
