What always amazes me is how relatively upbeat and happy the losing players are. When i lost, last thing I did was stick around on the field and smile.

I think part of it is that the players understand it's a business and the other part is that they understand how hard it is to win in the NFL. You don't have to like losing, but if you can't accept it, you're going to be miserable throughout a lot of your career.

I'm a lot calmer when losing a game I played in than when watching a game.

I know AD is injured so he probably hasn't been lifting like he has normally, but he's built like a dump truck and Dez looks "bigger" than him. About the same height because Dez is wearing cleats, but you ever want to judge a strong dude look at his shoulders.

Dez is killing the weight room

Different era, I know where you are coming from. This is today's NFL, and with social media everyone seems to be buddy buddy with everyone.

It's different when the business aspect is thrown in. When you play in high school and even college, you play because it's fun and you're worried about performing well so you look good (whether it be for colleges or the girls). Also, when you lose in high school/college you have to deal with the student body giving you grief about losing whereas in the NFL you can mostly just stay at home and avoid it all.

I also think maturity plays a big role in handling a loss better as well.

Looked like AP was trying to get a phone number and Dez interupted.

Yeah, I think you're right about that one. The way AP was looking at her and she looked at him was definitely an interruption of a moment. Not to mention her bye babe response when Dez pulled him away.

Broad range of guys getting props - you can guess the plays.

Michael interaction with Dez - the 88's do motivate a sideline.

Just watching that for the second time really made me understand how close this team is. They are truly playing for one another, like they're family. It's beautiful to watch, and such an awesome thing to be apart of as a fan. I love this team!
