His teammates just voted him the recipient of the team's Ed Block Courage award ... that says a lot more to me about who he is than FB posts and Subway commercials.

Very well said Joe! Can't people just simply take this guy at face value, give him the benefit of the doubt and time to prove himself on the field? He is 23 years old. How many of us, at that age, could take on the pressure of D.C. media, playing football for a big market team that has been losers for the last twenty years, and the pressure that is on his shoulders to be the guy who turns it around? Aren't we being a little unfair to the guy? It's quite easy for a lot of us to hide behind usernames on a forum board and act as if we know how it all should work and we know better than Griffin. The truth is, many of us at that age didn't know our heads from a hole in the wall - and many of us years past that age still don't.
Anyways, getting back to the topic of the thread, three of the four remaining teams are teams I hate. After yesterday, I have a new hate of the 49ers. Colon cleanse Kapernick's mocking of Cam Newton really pissed me off. Gotta say, being in Panther country, I have a new respect for the team. I have always liked the Carolina Panthers (not of course when they play the Redskins) and have always pulled for them to do well. But yesterday, I am just sick of them. I hope the Broncos mops the floor with the Patriots and then proceeds to do the same thing to either the Seahawks or the 49ers.
