I remember the first time I watched football with my grandfather. Ed missed a tackle and held his arm like it was hurting. I said why is he playing if his arm hurts so bad. My grandfather said because he is a great player and the quarterback will not throw the ball anywhere near him. Then I saw Ray was wearing this big thing on his arm and I thought the same about him but didn't say anything. I was so ignorant about football then but now I understand Great players like ed and ray need to be there for their team to be the best. They went on and won the super bowl with these two great players playing hurt.
