I Think I Love T.O.
I never thought I'd ever ever ever say that. Ever!!
But after reading articles like this from the Dallas Morning News, he may be the hardest working athlete outside of Michael Irvin to have ever worn a Cowboys uniform. I know JJT wrote the article but how much time he spends rehabbing is fact. He's hungry.
I remember reading about how Irvin would run routes and sprints until he puked and keep going. He was hungry for his first championship after recovering from a knee injury.
Now this.....
He works harder to get restore his body than he does when he's on the practice field. He went through rehab on Christmas Day. And New Year's Day. He's been working after hours on the Mavericks' underwater treadmill, which allows him to condition without putting stress on his ankle. He spends virtually every waking hour trying to get his ankle healthy enough to play and be the difference-maker the Cowboys need him to be to end their 10-year playoff drought. -- Dallas Morning News

No doubt...
The guy is hungry and doing everything he can to get out there, for his team, his fans, his crtics, and himself. Thanks for the awesome post, Doomsday.
With all the love that's been showered on Randy Moss this year, I still remember his last year with Oakland...if roles were reversed, do you think Randy Moss would be running on an underwater treadmill? I, personally, just can't see it.

thats why I never questioned him being ready
for this game, my only question be the degree of his ankle being fully recovered. Obviously it won't be 100%, but at 90% he'll be able to hurt the Giants and hurt them bad.

T.O.
has always been a horse. I knew he'd be this devoted the moment he strapped on the Star. As for an underwater treadmill, dang that's cool.

True that, Silver
This guy is totally focused on getting us and himself the SB win. It would lock up his HOF status. The stakes cannot get higher for a NFL athlete. Even if he's not 100%, he will be out on the field contributing.

Which is the reason he is team MVP
Without him, we don't make the playoffs...that's what he brings to the table.

Romo and T.O. co-MVPs
we aren't even a .500 team without either one.
