The problem isn't that Mommy and Daddy split up, the problem is that it was a really nasty break up with lots of screaming and yelling and everything else short of being featured on an episode of COPS. Now we're all afraid they don't love us any more.

Players move on. We'll get over it. It is just unfortunate that it had to go down this way -- because of things that happened on both sides. It simply didn't need to happen like this.

Well said, this is an area where the danny needs to mature & I think he will. Where I will disagree is that Lavar & his agents brought some of this on & that's where we don't know all the details (this link is funny -http://www.pennlive.com/weblogs/pas...es/2004_03.html - perhaps Lavar really thought danny was trying to curse him!).
But it would do the team well on & off the field to take a less hardball stance on some things. I think Gibbs plays the good cop extra now that he works for the Danny.
