For those that want to complain ....

For fans that want to complain about RT17's performance against Tampa, I'd like to share a bit of info that some may not know. RT17 is not the type of player that uses excuses and I am sure he would not want this to be used as an excuse, but enough bitching and complaining has been done on this site already. On Wednesday of this week, RT17's father in law passed away very suddenly. Ryan and John were very close and I have no doubt that it hit him and his entire family like a ton of bricks. John had not been sick and was only 55 years old.

I don't know about any of you, but I can certainly admit that if something like that happened to my wife's dad, it would be devastating to our family and to my ability to focus, especially on a game. Life is already too short and situations like John's passing show us all how short is really can be. Instead of continuing to beat each other up and trash the effort that was put forth on Sunday, why not lift RT17 and his family up, support them and see how much that good will buys the team at the end of the season.

Some on this site have commented on my being a Phins fan and RT17 being the reason I am now a Titan's fan. Yes, for over 45 years I was a Miami Dolphins fan. However, I started following the Titans before RT17 got here. It wasn't long before, but it was before. I actually came on board when Cam Wake made his decision to join the team.
