But how long till your wife broke you down till you were caring, feeling, and understanding?
Its important that guys - like football players - be caring, feeling, and understanding before they knock their opponents head off on the next play.
Its important that we "open up" inorder to have nice relationships with Tenn, FSU, and Georgia fans.
