Bob Ford mentioned after the Cardinals game that the players and coaches care a TON more than the fans. I tend to agree (and I don't find myself agreeing with Bob Ford very often). Don't apologize for Gonzalez. Those are his words above. That's why I copy-pasted them. The point here is that these guys on the Eagles care a LOT more than we do as fans, however important it may seem to us. To a scary degree. Get well, Jim Johnson. Sorry for the late reply on the comment regarding a stretch.

Seriously? Gonzales was talking about the smugness and the "we know better than you do" attitudes of Lurie and Banner and how it relates to the Eagles fan. What a stretch by you.

Seriously?

Gonzales was talking about the smugness and the “we know better than you do” attitudes of Lurie and Banner and how it relates to the Eagles fan.

What a stretch by you.

Something that goes like, "Perhaps it's a good thing the Eagles lost the NFC Championship. What if they didn't? Would Jim have taken the time he needed to have a biopsy or whatever he needed?" I might not have. It's just back pain after all and that can wait until after the Super Bowl. Get well soon Jim. A very similar line of thinking has been running through my mind.
