thanks for madieu

Here's something from Madieu Williams I didnt get into this Sunday's column... Williams is one of the more pensive, smart and introspective Bengals. We spent a lot of time yakking about "character'' issues on this team, not w/o reason. But the # of quality people far, far exceeds the problems. There is no better example of that than this guy. Here's what he said that I couldn't get in the column:

"Right before camp, I take a day by myself, sit down and reflect on how far I've come. We always worry about the next thing in football. The next play, the next game. It's good to reflect. You don't have time during the season to sit back and pat yourself on the back. But you do feel proud of yourself. I'm also thankful and very blessed for the opportunity. And I never take it for granted.''

Live healthy, Madieu Williams.
