Perhaps the Most Impressive Thing Sunday

I watched the replay of Sean Payton's post game comments. He closed his remarks by saying, "We'll start gettiing ready Wednesday!" The players had an extra day off. As the team gathered for their post game cheer, one of the players (couldn't see which one as he was buried in the huddle) said that anyone who was in town should come in and lift and watch a little film. He went on to say that it was voluntary, but guys should try to get in.

Your coach just handed you a day off, and you say no, thank you. I'd rather work. That is the type of attitude that wins playoff games. That is one of, if not the,major difference between this year's team and those of the past. They subordinate their individual agendas and sacrifice for the team.

I'd love to know how many went in. Just the fact at least some are thinking this way gives me more hope that they'll excel during the next 5 games and make the playoffs.
