Here we go again...

So, recently I finally got on my twitter game (get at me @MikeRussell28).  After trying to figure out how to work it for quite some time I learned how to "tweet" and follow people.  I decided to follow my favorite NFL player Brian Dawkins.  Brian (yes we are on a first name basis) is a man on the field.  He takes on OT's that have almost 100lbs on him and he stands his ground.  He is relentless and he plays like there is no tomorrow.  And when Brian walks on to the field you would think that he just won the Super Bowl.  He starts jumping, screaming, sprinting, crawling, somersaulting, and high-fiving.  He does this to not only get himself pumped, but to also get his team pumped.

(No I was not crazy, and this is not photoshopped, he actually crawls onto the field)

This is not the only reason Brian is my favorite player.  Brian is a man that does not let anything get to him.  He doesn't let the stuff other people say affect him or how he plays.  A majority of his tweets are  about how we need to not listen to what other people say.  He said to not let people's opinions that are trying to bring you down succeed.  Right now our football team is going through this.  We are facing a lot of adversity off the field and we can not let that affect how we play.  We can't even let that get to us.  Because if we make a stupid decision based on a impulse because of a comment there could be some serious consequences.

Over the years Brian has taken a lot of ridicule because of his playing style or what kind of person he is in general.  He doesn't let it get to him.  He just uses this as a sort of fuel to his fire.  This is what the team needs to do now on the field and not let it get to us off the field.
