Christian Ponder in 2011! Bring him home Wayne, he can actually play QB in the NFL

Gimme a break...

The darkest day was losing to the Titans 3 times in one year and missing the Superbowl.

Emotionally IT CAN BE

Some say; losing the Suberbowl is biiiig trauma.
ANd let me tell you a story. Once in the 50’s my country has alegendary soccer team- they won everywhere-and everything. Everything exept the World Cup in 54… Although some say (and that might be the good point;) it is a huge success; still I think Many of my fellow countryman thinks that was a trauma; that was something that team MUST won it. The people were almost rioting (and that was back than in the communist era-very hardline phase) SO yes an upset loss CAN be a dark momen even it looks good maybe from retrospectivet!
