I wasn't a huge Springs fan the past couple of years, but that was only because of his lack of toughness-seemed like he'd only play when he was 100%- but it had nothing to do with his commitment to family issues. If anything I respected him more as a man for that.

I agree 100% with this post....

I mean the family stuff shouldn't even be discussed... you're an utter dumb ass if you're mad at the guy for anything family related...

I do agree, that he seemed very fickle the past couple years in terms of sitting out... I just look at other guys on the team and saw them play through injuries that I think Springs could have as well... I really have no idea the seriousness of the injuries... and some people are just plain tougher than others physically and a strained calf for one guy could be completely different than a strained calf for another guy....

I'll miss Springs.. I was a fan of the guy.. I think he was the spark that started our run to the playoffs in 2007, and when he was healthy we were much better on defense...he just was never really healthy. .
