Okay, it's my turn to bitch about something. Everyone places so much importance on having the playoff bye week. Well, we got it weeks ago, but now everyone thinks we've had too much time off. But the bye week is secondary to home-field throughout. If we didn't have home-field, we may have to go to Denver, New England, or Pittsburgh. It's chilly in those places. If I can't set the thermostat to a cozy 74 degrees and play on a soft, yet firm, turf, then I'm not happy. 'Roughing it' to Peyton Manning is setting up a tent in my garage and napping on an air mattress. If I even hear about snow in New England, I wet my pants.
We've got to do something. Fowler Park has the Pioneer Village and camping on the lake, which was its drawing card. Now it's not. If you watch most campers today, they have modern, up-to-date equipment. It's not bringing a tent and roughing it. Prairie Creek with electrical hookups has no primitive sites, like Fowler or Hawthorn.
I think Mike (Vick) looked OK today. I don't think he was 100 percent, but Mike is such a great competitor that if somebody challenges him, whether it's the media or a player from another team taking a shot at him like we had on the first drive (two roughing the passer penalties), I think that gets him going a little bit.

Footnote Roughing It is dedicated to Higbie. ... I shall allow myself the privilege of copying his punctuation and his spelling, for to me they are a part of the man. He is as honest as the day is long. He is utterly simple-minded and straightforward, and his spelling and his punctuation are as simple and honest as he is himself. He makes no apology for them, and no apology is needed.
The hospital had received 1,500 injured children after the earthquake in the area and there were still 50 there. It was a pretty touching experience. Pakistan was awesome. Everything was much nicer than I expected. The hotel we stayed at was very westernized, so I wasn't roughing it all. I did not feel in danger at any point on the trip. The bus from the hotel to the squash center was led and followed by police cars at all times.
Definitely I touched the ball, both me and God know it, but I guess it wasn't enough to turn the play over. Besides that, that wasn't roughing the kicker. Me and Pep landed on the ground and the kicker just fell over us.
We were called for roughing the punter after the center snap had gone over the punter's head,
We had a third-and-long situation, and we are getting off the field when we get a roughing the passer ... and we get an illegal hands down the field,
We do need to eliminate the 15-yard penalties, but I don't think that was a good call on roughing the passer against East Carolina. He was honest with me. I asked if he roughed the passer and he told me, 'Coach, this time I did not.' I watched the tape, and I believe him.
Mark Twain's Roughing It is a book that many people don't know about, but I highly recommend to anybody at any age.
