First off, I mistakingly said Peggy Hill was an Art Teacher, when in actuality she is a Spanish Teacher, who enjoys making crappy sculptures in her spare time. My mistake.

Second off… Yes, Ryan, I did cry during and episode of The Office, because I am capable of emotion, unlike you. (You’re never going to let that go are you? Have fun hanging out by yourself on Wednesday.) But there is a few major differences between me and LT crying. I do not get paid millions of dollars to play a game, there are definitely more important things in life. Like getting 100% on “Cherry Pie” on expert while playing Guitar Hero 2. Or, not being paralyzed. (Hopefully Kevin Everett will continue to progress.) Also, romantic comedies hit close to home sometimes and are supposed to (if you have a heart) cause a reaction with certain emotions. Emotions like joy or sadness, which can lead to tears. Sometimes I cry OK? I already know I’m a pussy. It doesn’t make me feel like any less of a man if I cry every time I watch A Walk to Remember.

THEY WERE IN LOVE AND IT ENDED TOO QUICKLY OK!!! MANDY MOORE IS A GOOD ACTRESS! YOU DON’T TALK TO ME LIKE THAT! I DRIVE A DODGE STRATUS!

Losing(see also “completely getting spanked”) the 2nd game of the regular season, even if it is to a hated “rival”, is no reason to cry. Maybe you think averaging only 1.8 yards per carry is a good enough reason to cry, especially after breaking the NFL touchdown record last year, but it’s not. Suck it up and play. Maybe if he had lost a close one to the Patriots in the AFC Championship game it would have been OK for him to cry. A little. By his locker. Alone.

Crying in sports is becoming more common these days and should not be accepted in all cases. Especially when this guy is involved.
