    Ok, great win and Harper played great. 1 FF and almost recovered another one. Although the play didn't count, what is up with him? It's not even about Bradford catching up with him. They showed him on the sidelines with an oxygen mask. Really?

    His play speaks for itself and I hate criticizing the guy; especially since I'm no beacon of fitness, but what's that say about his conditioning when he needs an oxygen mask after running 70 yards? Good thing it was Porter who picked Manning in the SB last year instead of Harper or it might not have been a pick/6. :hihi:

    Roman looks like he is 57 years old. He looked older than Mark Roman.

    He looks older than Roman Gabriel. He totally ran out of gas on that play - or he knew it was coming back and decided not to kill himself. Either way, he quit the play.

    He looked older than the Holy Romans.

    He allegedly tweeted that he did that because he "didn't want to run up the score".

    I hope he didn't tweet that.

    I don't think so. I heard him say that at the press conference. So, unless he tweeted it also, then no.

    No, they don't. Sometimes, but definitely not always and the runs are usually longer than 70 yards.
