Sep 28, 2009

Yesterday's emotional NFL moment did not involve Michael Vick returning to the field - sniff! give me a second, I'll be okay - after 18 months in federal prison. No, it was the Lions winning a game, and it proved too much for offensive linemen Stephen Peterman and Dominic Raiola, who were caught on camera, teary-eyed, as they left the field.

(The pictures haven't surfaced online yet, for some reason. Here they are, not crying, as their team went to 0-14 last year.)

Personally, I think they were crying because, well, there's another game next week. One and 15, anybody?
