I love what he had to say about Belickick....although he is a great coach and I never count them out - despite their deficiencies. 'Ole Marty isn't known for his playoff winning record - because he doesn't have one - but I think this time he may just decide to call an aggressive game and take the Pats down. Let's see then if Belichick is gracious in defeat.

I think 50 million is an inflated figure. I doubt even with his appearance fees that he's made 50 million. I can believe he's lost pretty much all his money but I can't believe it's that much.

Hey, we're talking about poker here - a game based on deceit anyway.

The Day Cool Died
I agree with Taylor's assertion that cool has died. There are very few "cool" athelets out there anymore. It's all about the money and the individual. Celebrating a 1st down catch is not cool - it's your job so catch the ball and get back to the huddle. Choreographed TD dances are definitely not cool. Barry Sander and Emmitt Smith were the epitomy of cool. After a TD run or catch, they'd simply hand the ball to the ref and move on. It was their job and they knew it. As someone else pointed out - "act like you've been there before". "Cool", is caring more about the team than yourself. In individual sports like golf or tennis - I think "cool" is the personal understanding of ones accomplishments without having to throw it everyones face. Bjorn Borg, Jack Nicklaus and Arnie Palmer come immediately to mind.
