The End For Spielman?
The words come out of Bills linebacker Chris Spielman
mouth in sharp, staccato bursts without any trace of bitterness or self-pity, even though he may have played the
last game of what could be a Hall of Fame career. They are words from another time, another era.
"If its my time to go, its my time to go," the
32 year-old Spielman said last Friday, two days after learning he would have to undergo neck surgery that could
end his career. "I will not go out on that field again and be the player I despise - a player who's collecting
a paycheck, who doesn't give everything he has, who is afraid to stick his head in there. I will not dishonor the
game I love. And if its over, I won't sit in front of any TV camera crying, wallowing in pity. You know why?
BECAUSE I PLAYED EVERY GAME AS IF IT WERE MY LAST!
"I did it the way it was supposed to be done. How can
I regret anything?"
What attitude are you playing with each
and every day?
