It’s just to try and work on the good bit of you. – John Lennon

As you settle in to watch Super Bowl XLV – the Pittsburgh Steelers vs. Green Bay Packers … The men who ‘go to battle’ in the NFL give the game all they’ve got. Their coaches demand it, their teammates insist upon it, and their fans will accept nothing less. The players are driven up to, and often beyond, their physical limits and emotional thresholds.
