I grew up with the New York Giants, the Buddy Ryan Eagles, and the Chicago Bears defenses.  It is in my blood.<\/p>\n<p>My wife was giving me a hard time that she saw a tear in my eye as I was watching the Jags beat Dallas last week.  Everytime they panned the crowd she would say \u201cLook, there are your people!\u201d  It was very hard moving away from Florida and giving those four seats up.  They were mine for three years and I enjoyed every minute, including the pre-season games.  I watched Mathis as a rookie, saw Leftwich\u2019s first game as a pro, and still have my Fred Taylor jersey hanging in the closet.<\/p>\n<p>I would have been going CRAZY right about now as I walked to parking lot DD (or something like that) after the beating Jacksonville\u2019s defense put on the Steelers tonight.
