I dont know how he did it. Call me a pussy, but his performance and the post game recognition almost had me in tears.


this all the way. I was surprised the reporter jumped straight into the questions about it, but I guess she knew it would get major views (kinda sad in a way). I was watery eyed just watching

I thought Michelle Tafoya immediately jumping to that question was tactless and rude. You could even see Flacco and Rice roll their eyes.

I wasn't sure this was the best idea.

But as for Torrey, I think sitting on the couch with his family watching the game would have been worse than not playing. After a family member dies, there is the initial shock and telling everyone. Then there is the wait for the funeral. Between the shock and the funeral, it's just a lot of time sitting around thinking it's not appropriate to do anything. I'm sure he was tired, but besides that, I agree with his decision. Best to do something, anything instead of sitting around looking at each other and then starting the crying all over again.
