Brian Westbrook is a football player!

Do you believe this guy? I mean who else in the NFL would have forgone a TD to guarantee a victory for their team by running out the clock. Being the Cowboys fan that I am, I actually stopped crying for a minute after the play just to give a clap to Westbrook who has just gained a ton of respect in my book. Props to him, check out the play! ...

It Was Jon Runyan Who Told Brian Westbrook to Take a Knee

Westbrook easily could have scored a TD and given the Philadelphia Eagles a 17-6 lead ... and probably the win.

In fact, if ...

... The Eagles had a down year last year, but only missed the playoffs by one game. Expectations are much higher for 2008 - thanks to a fully healthy McNabb and the signing of Asante Samuel. Brian Westbrook of the Eagles had a fantastic year statistically in 2007, but really made his mark when he took a knee on the 1 yard line against the rival Cowboys. That kind of selflessness will always be loved in this city. ...
